Journal Article
Just think: The challenges of the disengaged mind
2014
Overview
In 11 studies, we found that participants typically did not enjoy
spending 6 to 15 minutes in a room by themselves with nothing to do but
think, that they enjoyed doing mundane external activities much more,
and that many preferred to administer electric shocks to themselves
instead of being left alone with their thoughts. Most people seem to
prefer to be doing something rather than nothing, even if that something
is negative.
