Boredom is a commonly experienced emotion that is detrimental to student performance. This study piloted Phase 2 of the Boredom Intervention Training (BIT) program which used cognitive restructuring to alter students’ boredom misbeliefs. The sample consisted of 149 students from a midwestern Canadian University. We identified participants’ boredom misbeliefs at baseline and employed McNemar tests to determine if students reported fewer boredom misbeliefs after viewing a psychoeducational training video. Our results revealed students reported fewer boredom misbeliefs post-video compared to pre-video (all p’s < .025). Implications of Phase 2 of the BIT program for university students are discussed.

测试有针对性的无聊干预培训计划的第二阶段及其对无聊错误信念的影响

无聊是一种常见的情绪，不利于学生的表现。这项研究试行了无聊干预训练（BIT）计划的第二阶段，该计划利用认知重组来改变学生对无聊的错误信念。样本由来自加拿大中西部大学的 149 名学生组成。我们在基线上确定了参与者的无聊错误信念，并采用麦克尼马尔测试来确定学生在观看心理教育培训视频后报告的无聊错误信念是否减少。我们的结果显示，与视频前相比，学生在视频后报告的无聊错误信念更少（所有 p < .025）。讨论了 BIT 项目第二阶段对大学生的影响。
