Abstract:
This study explores how state boredom, trait boredom and problematic Facebook use are related, assuming that the latter has a mediating role in the relationship between the two first variables. Analyses show a positive indirect effect of trait boredom on state boredom through problematic Facebook use that acted as a mediator. Specifically, individual sensitivity to boredom may enhance the likelihood that teenagers employ Facebook excessively and in addictive way.
