Although unpleasant, boredom can inspire creativity and purposeful action or trigger maladaptive behaviors such as problematic social media use (PSMU). The present study developed and validated the Metacognitions About Boredom Scale (MABS), a new instrument designed to assess positive and negative metacognitions about boredom.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The research comprised two studies.

Both subscales demonstrated excellent reliability, strong test\u2013retest stability, and full measurement invariance across gender and age. Incremental validity analyses showed that the MABS predicted boredom and PSMU beyond general metacognitions. Study 2 confirmed the bifactor model, and ROC analysis indicated an optimal cut-off of \u226532 on the negative belief subscale for distinguishing\u00a0individuals at risk of boredom-driven PSMU, yielding 95.3% sensitivity and 97.1% specificity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The MABS is a valid, theory-based tool assessing boredom-related metacognitions and identifying cognitive risks for maladaptive online behaviors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1556\/2006.2025.00499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]],"date-time":"2026-09-16T07:59:29Z","timestamp":1789545569000},"page":"1115-1136","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The development of the Metacognitions About\u00a0Boredom Scale (MABS) and its role in\u00a0problematic social media use"],"prefix":"10.1556","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1576-5711","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mehdi","family":"Akbari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Education, Kharazmi University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9682-5207","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Roya","family":"Forootan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Education, Kharazmi University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-7306-8227","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zahra","family":"Tabar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Education and Psychology, Alzahra University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5604-7551","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zsolt","family":"Demetrovics","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders University Institute for Mental Health and Wellbeing, College of Education, Psychology and Social Work, Flinders University, Bedford Park, SA, Australia"},{"name":"Institute of Psychology, ELTE Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest, Hungary"},{"name":"Centre of Excellence in Responsible Gaming, University of Gibraltar, Gibraltar, Gibraltar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8880-6524","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mark D.","family":"Griffiths","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nottingham Institute of Psychology, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"425","reference":[{"key":"B1","series-title":"Addictive Behaviors","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.addbeh.2021.106904","article-title":"Metacognitions as a predictor of online gaming in adolescents: Psychometric properties of the metacognitions\u00a0about online gaming scale among Iranian adolescents","volume":"118","author":"Akbari, M.","year":"2021","unstructured":"Akbari, M., Bahadori, M.
