A Trait-Based Network Perspective on the Validation of the French Short Boredom Proneness Scale

Abstract. The Short Boredom Proneness Scale (SBPS) has recently been developed. Using a standard confirmatory factor analysis, we report on the structural validation of French SBPS, which provided support for original construct. A network analysis ( n = 490) revealed structure relationships between SBPS and two facets Curiosity Exploration Inventory-II (CEI-II). positive connections boredom curiosity items, whereas exploration items were negative. To evaluate measurement invariance, compared French-speaking sample with an English-speaking 364). Full configural, metric, scalar invariance was established; thus, provide valid translation widely used measure that may advantage future research.
