Objective:To explore the influence of childhood psychological abuse, neglect and alexithymia on the boredom proneness of college students.Methods:The boredom proneness scale for college students(BPS), child psychological abuse and neglect scale (CPANS) and the Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) were used to investigate 1 557 college students, and SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis.Results:Childhood psychological abuse (26.540±8.985), neglect (32.665±10.651), recognition emotion in alexithymia dimension (19.359±4.835), description emotion dimension (14.173±3.001), extroverted thinking dimension in alexithymia (20.383±3.429) had positive correlation with the total score of boredom tendency (101.109±19.735) and the dimension of external stimulus (66.022±21.079)( r=0.160-0.559, all P<0.01). And there were negative correlations with the internal stimulus dimension (35.132±8.207)( r=-0.302--0.104, all P<0.01). The hierarchical regression analysis showed that after controlling the effects of gender and age, psychological abuse and neglect were the influencing factors of boredom proneness, internal stimulus and external stimulus, which explained 14.3%, 5.1% and 18.2% of the total variation (△ F=130.561, 41.968, 172.711, all P<0.01). Recognition of emotions, description of emotions and extroverted thinking in alexithymia were the influencing factors of boredom proneness, internal stimulus and external stimulus, which explained 17.5%, 9.9% and 25.5% of the total variation (△ F=134.274, 60.696, 234.383, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Childhood psychological abuse, neglect and alexithymia have significant effect on boredom proneness of college students, and mainly on external stimuli of boredom proneness. Among them, alexithymia has the greatest influence and the highest explanatory power.
