Journal Article
Wandering in Both Mind and Body
2013
Overview
Anecdotal reports suggest that during periods of inattention or mind wandering, people tend to experience increased fidgeting. In four studies, we examined whether individual differences in the tendency to be inattentive and to mind wander in everyday life are related to the tendency to make spontaneous and involuntary movements (i.e., to fidget). To do so, we developed self-report measures of spontaneous and deliberate mind wandering, as well as a self-report scale to index fidgeting. In addition, we used several existing self-report measures of inattentiveness, attentional control, and memory failures. Across our studies, a series of multiple regression analyses indicated that fidgeting was uniquely predicted by inattentiveness and spontaneous mind wandering but not by other related factors, including deliberate mind wandering, attentional control, and memory failures. As a result, we suggest that only spontaneously wandering thoughts are related to a wandering body.
Des rapports isolés suggèrent que durant des moments d'inattention ou de rêverie, les gens tendent davantage à présenter de l'agitation nerveuse. Dans quatre études, les auteurs ont cherché à déterminer les différences individuelles en ce qui a trait à la tendance à être inattentif ou à s'adonner à la rêverie dans le quotidien et si celle-ci était reliée à la tendance à faire des mouvements spontanés et involontaires (c'est-à-dire, à faire preuve d'agitation nerveuse). Pour ce faire, ils ont établi des mesures autorapportées de moments de rêverie spontanée et volontaire, ainsi qu'une échelle pour l'autoévaluation de l'agitation nerveuse. En outre, ils se sont servis de mesures autorapportées existantes pour l'inattention, la maîtrise attentionnelle et les manquements de la mémoire. Pour l'ensemble des études, des analyses de régression multiple ont révélé que seules l'inattention et la rêverie spontanée permettaient de prévoir l'agitation nerveuse, mais non les autres facteurs connexes, comme la rêverie volontaire, la maîtrise attentionnelle et les manquements de la mémoire. Les auteurs concluent alors que seul un esprit vagabond est associé à des gestes involontaires.
