Researchers have extensively investigated the factor structure of the Boredom Proneness Scale (BPS; R. Farmer & N. D. Sundberg, 1986) using exploratory factor analyses (EFAs), with inconsistent methodology and results. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to perform confirmatory factor analyses on the BPS to better determine the nature and extent of its underlying factor structure. Participants were 279 undergraduate students majoring in psychology at a university in the southern United States. None of the tested models derived from earlier studies was a reasonable fit to the present data; therefore, the present authors performed an EFA. Although 2 factors were revealed, these results, coupled with markedly different results from previous factor analytic studies of the BPS, suggest it is unlikely that the present factor structure is replicable. The BPS does not appear to have a replicable factor structure.
研究人员已经使用探索性因素分析(EFA)广泛研究了无聊倾向量表(BPS;R. Farmer 和 N. D. Sundberg,1986)的因素结构,但方法和结果不一致。因此,本研究的目的是对 BPS 进行验证性因素分析,以更好地确定其潜在因素结构的性质和程度。参与者是美国南部一所大学主修心理学的 279 名本科生。早期研究中得出的没有一个测试模型适合本数据;因此,本作者进行了 EFA。尽管揭示了 2 个因素,但这些结果,加上与 BPS 之前的因素分析研究明显不同的结果,表明目前的因素结构不太可能具有可重复性。BPS 似乎没有可复制的因素结构。
