“…One also has a difficulty maintaining and focusing one's attention (Bernstein, 1975; Fisher, 1993; Martin et al, 2006; Eastwood et al, 2012). One even experiences a slow passage of time (Fenichel, 1953; O'Connor, 1967; Hartocollis, 1972; Conrad, 1997; Martin et al, 2006). …”

“…A. Russell, 1980;Todman, 2003).

Despite the impressive progress that has been made on both the empirical and conceptual fronts of boredom research, there is one facet of boredom that has received remarkably little attention. This is boredom's relationship to morality. The aim of this article is to explore the moral dimensions of boredom and to argue that boredom is a morally relevant personality trait. The presence of trait boredom hinders our capacity to flourish and in doing so hurts our prospects for a moral life.

“…Wangh (1979) and Greenson (1953) both suggest that boredom is a defensive posture that prevents people from falling into depression since they externalize their problems. By doing so, habitually bored people understand others to be constraining them (O'Hanlon, 1981) and retain a positive or at least neutral sense of self (Hartocollis, 1972). Those who internalize their problems through self-reproach and self-criticism are more likely to become depressed (Anthony & Benedek, 1975).…”

“…Bored individuals have a neutral or positive self-evaluation (Hartocollis, 1972); blame the environment for their condition (Bernstein, 1975;Wangh, 1975); have an absence of fantasies (Greenson, 1953;Wangh, 1975); and level out the impact of all events (O'Connor, 1967).…”

This article will compare and contrast the author's theory of Habitual Boredom with a phenomenological account of Unipolar Depression. The habitually bored show more external ambivalence, passive avoidance, and shame, as well as a tendency toward passive hope and identity confusion. The depressed show more internal ambivalence, willful (but futile) determination, and guilt as well as tendency toward hopelessness and identity objectification. The article also discusses some of the experiential similarities and developmental differences between the two phenomenon as well as some aspects of the defensive structure that initially prevents the bored from becoming depressed.
