Research at the University of Portsmouth has found that impulsive individuals might experience boredom more intensely, leading to higher physiological reactivity, evidenced by elevated cortisol levels.
Participants who exhibited high levels of impulsivity reported increased feelings of boredom after dull tasks, suggesting that their impulsivity could be a coping mechanism for managing boredom.
Managing or tolerating stress better might help impulsive people reduce their impulsive behaviors, indicating a link between stress responses and impulsivity.
The study indicates that impulsive actions might be exacerbated by heightened physiological reactions to states of boredom, pointing to potential pathways for intervention.
