In a quiet, darkened lecture room, you begin a frustrating fight againstfatigue. The overhead projector hums, and you cannot concentrate on the slides.Youstop absorbing information and become absentminded. The professor lost you a longtime ago. You are bored.Virtually everyone gets bored once in a while. Most of us chalk it up to a dullenvironment. “The most common way to define boredom in Western culture is ‘havingnothing to do, ’ ” says psychologist Stephen Vodanovich of the University of WestFlorida. And indeed,early research into the effects of boredom focused on peopleforced to perform dull tasks,such as working a factory assembly line.But boredom is not merely an natural property of the circumstances,researcherssay.Rather this perception is subjective and rooted in aspects ofconsciousness.Levels of boredom vary among people:some individuals are far lessliable to boredom than others—and some,such as extroverts(性格外向者),are morelikely to have this feeling.
Thus, a new generation of scientists is coping with the psychologicalinterpretations of this most tedious of human emotions—and they have found that itis more complicated than is commonly known.Researchers say that boredom is not aunified concept but rather comes in several flavors.Level of attention,an aspect ofconscious awareness,plays an important role in boredom,such that improving aperson’s ability to focus may therefore decrease boredom.Emotional factors can alsocontribute to boredom.People who are poor in understanding their own feelings andthose who become sucked in and distracted by their moods are more easily bored,forample.Staying away from tedium is not easy.People who are liable to boredom are morelikely to suffer from ills such as depression and drug addiction;they also tend tobe socially awkward and poor performers at school or work.
