Boredom, which is a common problem in the general population, has been associated with several psychiatric disorders. The Multidimensional State Boredom Scale (MSBS) was developed, based on a theoretically and empirically grounded definition of boredom, to assess this construct. The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Spanish validated version of the MSBS in a multi-age sample recruited from the general population.
The patients (N = 303) were recruited from primary care settings. In addition to the sociodemographic variables and the MSBS, the General Health Questionnaire 28 items (GHQ-28), Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), Negative subscale and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were administered. We used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to analyse the dimensionality of the MSBS. Cronbach's α coefficient was used to analyse the internal consistency of the scale. The consistency of the MSBS over time (test-retest reliability) was assessed using the intra-class correlation coefficient. The construct validity was examined by calculating Pearson's r correlations between the MSBS with theoretically related and unrelated constructs. Cronbach's α for MSBS was 0.89 (95 % CI, 0.87-0.92), ranging from 0.75 to 0.83 for the 5 subscales.
The characteristics of the final sample (N = 303) were that the participants were primarily female (66.77 %) with a mean age of 49.32 years (SD, 11.46) and primarily European (94.71 %). The CFA of the MSBS confirmed that the original five-factor model showed good fit indices: CFI = .96; GFI = .94; SRMR = .05; and RMSEA = .06 [.05-.08]. Cronbach's α for MSBS was 0.89 (95 % CI, 0.87-0.92), ranging from 0.75 to 0.83 for the 5 subscales. The MSBS showed a test-retest coefficient measured with an ICC of 0.90 (95 % CI, 0.88-0.92). The ICC for the 5 subscales ranged from 0.81 to 0.89. The MSBS showed a significant negative correlation with MAAS and a significant positive correlation with the GHQ (total score and subscales) and PANAS-Negative Affect.
The Spanish version of the MSBS has been validated as a reliable instrument for measuring boredom in the general population. This study will facilitate the assessment of boredom for clinical and research purposes in Spanish-speaking populations.
无聊是一种常见的人群问题，与几种精神障碍有关。多维状态无聊量表（MSBS）是根据无聊理论和实证定义开发的，用于评估这种结构。本研究的目的是在从普通人群中招募的多年龄样本中评估经过验证的西班牙语版本的 MSBS 的心理测量特性。
从初级保健环境中招募患者（N=303）。除了社会人口统计学变量和 MSBS 外，还使用了一般健康问卷 28 项（GHQ-28）、积极和消极影响量表（PANAS）、消极分量表和正念注意意识量表（MAAS）。我们使用验证性因素分析（CFA）来分析 MSBS 的维度。使用 Cronbach 的α系数分析量表的内部一致性。使用组内相关系数评估 MSBS 的时间一致性（测试-重测信度）。通过计算 MSBS 与理论上相关和不相关结构之间的 Pearson r 相关来检验构念效度。MSBS 的 Cronbach 的α为 0.89（95%置信区间，0.87-0.92），5 个分量表的范围为 0.75-0.83。
最终样本（N=303）的特征是参与者主要为女性（66.77%），平均年龄为 49.32 岁（标准差，11.46），主要为欧洲人（94.71%）。MSBS 的 CFA 证实，原始五因素模型显示出良好的拟合指数：CFI=0.96；GFI=0.94；SRMR=0.05；RMSEA=0.06 [0.05-0.08]。MSBS 的 Cronbach 的α为 0.89（95%置信区间，0.87-0.92），5 个分量表的范围为 0.75-0.83。MSBS 的测试-重测系数用 ICC 测量为 0.90（95%置信区间，0.88-0.92）。5 个分量表的 ICC 范围为 0.81-0.89。MSBS 与 MAAS 呈显著负相关，与 GHQ（总分和分量表）和 PANAS-Negative Affect 呈显著正相关。
经过验证的西班牙语版本的 MSBS 已被证明是一种可靠的工具，可用于测量普通人群的无聊感。本研究将促进西班牙语人群中用于临床和研究目的的无聊评估。
