This data was collected in late April, early May of 2020. The data have been used in several papers including the following: Boylan, J., Seli, P., Scholer, A. A., & Danckert, J. (2021). Boredom in the COVID-19 pandemic: Trait boredom proneness, the desire to act, and rule-breaking. Personality and Individual Differences, 171, 110387. Brosowsky, N. P., Van Tilburg, W., Scholer, A. A., Boylan, J., Seli, P., & Danckert, J. (2021). Boredom proneness, political orientation and adherence to social-distancing in the pandemic. Motivation and emotion, 1-10. Other papers based on this data set are currently in progress. The files here on this OSF site include a Word document which outlines the full survey set used, and two Excel spreadsheets - one that has the codes referring to variables used in Boylan et al, and one with the data set ("cleaned" indicates only that the file was made readable from the original MTurk format). Any enquiries about this data set can be emailed directly to James Danckert at jdancker@uwaterloo.ca.
