Abstract
The present study examined which personality traits are vulnerable to boredom by exploring the relationship between 6 factors of boredom proneness and personality (HEXACO model). We collected data from 168 university students and conducted a multiple regression analysis. The analysis showed that extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness were significantly negatively related to internal boredom proneness, with these three factors explaining about 47% of the variance. Honesty/humility, extraversion, and agreeableness were also significantly negatively related to external boredom proneness, explaining about 22% of the variance. Extraversion showed significant relationships with both boredom proneness factors. This study enhances our psychological understanding of the effects of interanal and exteranal boredom proness on the six personality factors of HEXACO model, highlighting the need for future a multidimensional reseach on boredom.
