“…State boredom has been linked to outcomes such as charitable intensions (Van Tilburg & Igou, ), creativity (Mann & Cadman, ), nostalgic reverie (Van Tilburg, Sedikides, & Wildschut, ), intergroup bias (Van Tilburg & Igou, ), and political polarization (Van Tilburg & Igou, ). Trait boredom shares some of these as correlates (e.g., political polarization) and is furthermore associated with variables such as hero admiration (Coughlan, Igou, Van Tilburg, Kinsella, & Ritchie, ), anger (Dahlen, Martin, Ragan, & Kuhlman, ), aggression (Van Tilburg, Igou, Maher, & Lennon, ), and various negative physical and mental health outcomes (Vodanovich, ). The reason for the existence of so many and such diverse correlates and consequences of boredom might be that boredom is a ‘multi‐motive’ emotion.…”
