"The Link Between Gratitude and Boredom: Insights from Psychology Research"
New psychology research suggests that gratitude may effectively reduce and prevent boredom by enhancing the feeling that life is meaningful. The study found a strong negative association between gratitude and boredom, with individuals feeling more gratitude tending to feel much less bored. The research also indicated that gratitude might increase the experience of meaning in life, which, in turn, reduces boredom. However, the study's design does not allow for cause-and-effect inferences, and the results were based on MTurk workers, so they may not be representative of the general population.
