Sadistic behavior increases with boredom

Feeling bored can be a factor in setting off sadistic behavior is finding of a study conducted by a team of researchers at Aarhus University. The researchers have published their findings in a paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

While sadistic behaviour (i.e., harming others for pleasure) is well-documented, past empirical research is nearly silent regarding the psychological factors behind it.
The researchers tried to close this gap by suggesting that boredom plays a crucial role in the emergence of sadistic tendencies.
Across 9 diverse studies, the researchers have provided correlational and experimental evidence for a link between boredom and sadism.
