Martarelli, Corinna S. Baillifard, Ambroise Audrin, Catherine 2022 The Short Boredom Proneness Scale (SBPS) has recently been developed. Using a standard confirmatory factor analysis, we report on the structural validation of the French SBPS, which provided support for the original construct. A network analysis (n = 490) revealed the structure of the relationships between the SBPS and the two facets of Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II (CEI-II). The analysis revealed positive connections between the boredom and curiosity items, whereas the connections between the boredom and exploration items were negative. To evaluate measurement invariance, we compared the French-speaking sample (n = 490) with an English-speaking sample (n = 364). Full configural, metric, and scalar invariance was established; thus, we provide a valid French translation of a widely used measure of boredom that may advantage future research. application/pdf https://sonar.unidistance.ch/global/documents/322176 https://n2t.net/ark:/51647/srd1322176 https://sonar.unidistance.ch/documents/322176/files/manuscript_SBPS_CEI-II preprint accepted.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1027/1015-5759/a000718 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/51647/srd1322176 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess CC BY-NC European Journal of Psychological Assessment. - 2022 A trait-based network perspective on the validation of the French Short Boredom Proneness Scale http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
