| Abstract | Proposes a theoretical model linking boredom and academic achievement. Based on R. Pekrun's (2006) control-value theory of achievement emotions, the model posits that boredom and achievement reciprocally influence each other over time. Data from a longitudinal study with 424 college students (mean age 20 years) were used to examine the hypothesized effects. The study involved 5 assessments of students' boredom and test performance during a university course spanning an entire academic year. Measures included the Achievement Emotion Questionnaire (AEQ). Structural equation modeling was used to examine effects of boredom on achievement, and vice versa. While controlling for students' gender, age, interest, intrinsic motivation, and prior achievement, results showed that boredom had consistently negative effects on subsequent performance, and performance had consistently negative effects on subsequent boredom. It is concluded that these results provide robust evidence for the proposed links between boredom and achievement and support systems-theoretical perspectives on the dynamics of emotions and achievement. From a broader educational perspective, it is suggested that these findings imply that researchers and practitioners alike should focus attention on boredom as an important, yet often overlooked, academic emotion.
