Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...
Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...
The Scientific Method02:40

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Phenomenology
  • Nursing Research

Background:

  • Understanding the lived experience of boredom is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for older adults.
  • Boredom can significantly impact psychological well-being and daily functioning in elderly populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore and elucidate the structure of the lived experience of feeling bored in older adults.
  • To deepen the comprehension of how older adults navigate and perceive boredom in their daily lives.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Parse's phenomenological-hermeneutic research method for in-depth exploration.
  • Conducted dialogical engagement with 10 older adults, including those in long-term care and living independently.

Main Results:

  • Identified the core structure of boredom as 'wearisome dullness surfacing with uplifting engagements while prevailing with fortitude amid the uninspiring.'
  • Highlighted the dynamic interplay between dullness, engagement, and resilience in the experience of boredom.

Conclusions:

  • The findings offer insights into the humanbecoming process in relation to boredom.
  • Results can inform nursing research and practice, guiding interventions to support older adults experiencing boredom.
