This article reports the translation into German and validation of two self-report measures of mind-wandering and boredom (the Spontaneous and Deliberate Mind-Wandering Scales and the Short Boredom Proneness Scale). Confirmatory factor analyses provided support for the original conceptualization of the constructs. To evaluate measurement invariance across samples, data were collected in a German-speaking sample ( = 418) and an English-speaking sample ( = 364). The results indicated weak measurement invariance. To explore the interplay between mind-wandering and boredom, we performed an exploratory graph analysis in the entire sample ( = 782), which revealed the structure of relationships between boredom and the two facets of mind-wandering. The results are discussed in the context of theoretical accounts of boredom and mind-wandering.
本文报告了将两种自发性思维和无聊自评量表（Spontaneous and Deliberate Mind-Wandering Scales 及 Short Boredom Proneness Scale）翻译成德语并进行验证的过程。验证性因子分析支持了这些结构的原有概念化。为了评估样本间测量的不变性，我们在一个德语样本（n=418）和一个英语样本（n=364）中收集了数据。结果表明测量的不变性较弱。为了探索思维漫游和无聊之间的相互作用，我们在整个样本（n=782）中进行了探索性图形分析，揭示了无聊与思维漫游两个方面之间关系的结构。结果在无聊的理论解释和思维漫游的理论解释的背景下进行了讨论。
