It permeates and affects our personal, social, practical, and moral existence. It shapes our world by demarcating the interesting and the meaningful from that which is not. And it sets us in motion insofar as its presence can give rise to a plethora of behaviors. Indeed, in its search for meaning, interest, and fulfillment, boredom straddles the line between the good and the bad, the beneficial and the harmful. In this volume, world-renowned researchers come together to explore a neglected but crucially important aspect of boredom: it’s relationship to morality. Does boredom cause individuals to commit immoral acts? Is the experience of boredom something that needs to be avoided at all costs? Does boredom make us worse people? Is it a problem or a solution? Can it be both? These and other questions are taken up and answered in the volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Moral Significance of Boredom: An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndreas Elpidorou\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrom Electric Shocks to the Electoral College: How Boredom Steers Moral Behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeltem Yucel and Erin C.
