Multidimensional State Boredom Scale (MSBS) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) were administered individually. The data was statistically analysed using Pearson’s Correlation. The study revealed as disengagement increases, the institutionalized elderly increasingly attribute the cause of their disengagement on others. Elders experience inattention ,which comes in way of using adaptive strategies like Refocus on Planning, Positive Reappraisal and Putting into Perspective dimensions. As the elders perceive the time to pass slow, their natural ability to think positive or attribute time in positive ways is reduced.
