Abstract

Boredom is a commonly experienced emotion that is detrimental to student performance. This study piloted Phase 2 of the Boredom Intervention Training (BIT) program which used cognitive restructuring to alter students’ boredom misbeliefs. The sample consisted of 149 students from a midwestern Canadian University. We identified participants’ boredom misbeliefs at baseline and employed McNemar tests to determine if students reported fewer boredom misbeliefs after viewing a psychoeducational training video. Our results revealed students reported fewer boredom misbeliefs post-video compared to pre-video (all p’s < .025). Implications of Phase 2 of the BIT program for university students are discussed.
