摘要
Abstract Frequent and intense experiences of boredom may lead to negative consequences. Enhancing sustained attention has been suggested as a potential strategy for mitigating boredom. We investigated the effectiveness of a four-week intervention to improve attention levels in daily activities and alleviate boredom. In this quasi-experiment, 73 adults were allocated to either the intervention group ( n = 32), which participated in a four-session online attention training program, or the no-intervention control group ( n = 41). Data were collected through baseline and post-intervention questionnaires, as well as experience sampling over a 28-day period. In line with our hypotheses, multilevel modeling results indicated that attention levels in the intervention group increased throughout the training compared to the control group. Additionally, we observed a decrease in state boredom levels and a significant between-group difference in post-intervention boredom proneness. We found that the attention training program was effective in boosting attention levels and reducing boredom experiences and boredom proneness among healthy adults.
