A Short Boredom Proneness Scale: Development and Psychometric PropertiesA Short Boredom Proneness Scale: Development and Psychometric Properties
An eight-item scale measuring boredom proneness was developed. This new scale demonstrated unidimensionality and the scale score had good internal consistency and construct validity comparable to the original scale.

Investigating the relationship between self-regulation and two types of boredom proneness (perceived lack of internal stimulation, perceived lack of external stimulation) using a variety of measures of self-regulation.
