Brief Summary:
The aim of the following pilot study is to examine boredom in a community sample of adolescents and a clinical sample of adolescents This is important in order to examine differences among healthy adolescents and adolescents with mental illness
Detailed Description:
Boredom has been recognized as a significant problem in a wide variety of areas However limited research has been focused on this construct Vodanovich Watt 1999 Research into boredom in adolescents is especially lacking in the psychological literature This is surprising given that adolescence is a time marked by change stress and identity issues
The aim of the following pilot study is to examine boredom in a community sample of adolescents and a clinical sample of adolescents This is important in order to examine differences among healthy adolescents and adolescents with mental illness such as depression anxiety and ADHD This has implications for both prevention and intervention strategies and programs such as the assessment and treatment of adolescents with mental illness Hence the results of this study will be important in providing an evidence-based practice in the treatment of mental illness in adolescents
Participants will be asked to complete one survey the Boredom Proneness Scale Farmer Sundberg 1986 and a demographic background form to measure gender date of birth country of birth etc The community sample of adolescents will be recruited from secondary schools in Victoria The clinical sample of adolescents will be recruited from the Alfred Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service It is envisaged that about 100 adolescents from each sample will be recruited to participate
