This study presents the development and validation of the Sexual Boredom Inventory (SBI), a 6-item measure assessing sexual boredom as a temporary, context-dependent state. Initial items were drafted from data obtained through qualitative analysis, and the SBI was tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with a sample of adults reporting on their sexual experiences in the past month. A single-factor model was found to be the best fit, with four items dropped during refinement. The SBI demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .88) and evidence of discriminant validity, with significant negative correlations to sexual pleasure and well-being. Additionally, the SBI was positively correlated with attention difficulties and impulsivity, highlighting a link between sexual boredom and ADHD. Findings suggest that sexual boredom, as a transient experience, is associated with negative sexual outcomes. Further research should confirm these relationships and potential interventions. The SBI can serve as a valuable tool for assessing recent sexual boredom and differentiating it from other sexual concerns.
本研究介绍了性厌倦量表（SBI）的开发与验证过程，该量表为一个包含6个条目的测量工具，用于评估性厌倦这一暂时的、依赖情境的状态。初始条目依据通过定性分析获得的数据拟定，SBI采用探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析（CFA）进行测试，样本为报告过去一个月内性经历的成年人。结果发现单因素模型拟合最佳，在优化过程中剔除了4个条目。SBI表现出良好的内部一致性（克朗巴哈α系数 = 0.88）以及区分效度的证据，与性快感和幸福感呈显著负相关。此外，SBI与注意力困难和冲动性呈正相关，凸显了性厌倦与注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）之间的联系。研究结果表明，性厌倦作为一种短暂的体验，与负面性结果相关。进一步的研究应证实这些关系以及潜在的干预措施。SBI可作为评估近期性厌倦并将其与其他性问题相区分的宝贵工具。
