If this weekend is yawning ahead of you, offering nothing but the same old routines and household duties, then don’t despair: boredom is good for you, a new study claims.
Far from【C1】______the mind and leading to a lack of productivity, boredom can【C2】______people to seek out ways of being selfless and to engage in prosocial tasks,【C3】______uneasy ones such as giving blood. "Bored people feel that their actions are【C4】______and so they are motivated to engage in meaningful behavior," said Wjjnand van Tilburg, co-author of the paper, A Pragmatic Meaning—Regulation Hypothesis on Boredom and Prosocial Behavior. If prosocial behavior【C5】______this requirement, boredom promotes prosocial behavior.
" Investigating the link between boredom and prosocial behavior is not only highly【C6】______but also counter-intuitive," said Van Tilburg, "Past research has【C7】______boredom almost exclusively with disgusting correlates,【C8】______closer inspection suggests a much richer【C9】______of potential consequences that may well go beyond merely negative outcomes, such as prosocial behavior. Boredom makes people【C10】______different and purposeful activities, and as a result they turn towards more challenging and meaningful activities, turning towards what they【C11】______to be really meaningful in life. Of course, this does not mean that boredom is necessary for prosocial behavior. It is one positive【C12】______of an utterly negative experience, demonstrating the【C13】______character of how people attempt to re-establish a【C14】______of meaningfulness."
The paper has been【C15】______by Adrian Savage, an editor at the online life coach site. "Being bored turns your mind【C16】______and encourages reflection. When you’re rushing【C17】______there’s no time to think. When you’re bored, there’s nothing else to do but think," he said. "Boredom is nearly always【C18】______to creativity. It isn’t true that creativity is mostly【C19】______by having a specific problem to be solved. It’s far more likely to arise because the person is bored with the way something has been done a thousand times before and wants to try something new. Boredom stimulates the search for better【C20】______to things like nothing else does."
