“…In line with that, Delle Fave et al (2003) found that the opportunity to experience flow motivates climbers to take part in a risky expedition. Urmston and Hewison (2014) also find a positive relationship between flow and risk taking in learning. A study by Szymanski and Henning (2007) found that flow was negatively related to women’s self-objectification behavior.…”

“…Similar results were found by Ceja and Navarro (2009) who state that flow experiences follow a complex dynamic. In general, and in association with the challenge-skill balance, having enough resources ( Delle Fave and Bassi, 2009 ; Bakker et al, 2011 ) and risk or uncertainty ( Urmston and Hewison, 2014 ) are associated with flow. Another example for a flow-promoting fit between the context and the individual was shown by Vittersø et al (2001) , who found that a fit between individual’s preferred recreational mode and the recreational activity (e.g., being active or passive) was positively associated with flow.…”

Flow is a gratifying state of deep involvement and absorption that individuals report when facing a challenging activity and they perceive adequate abilities to cope with it (EFRN, 2014). The flow concept was introduced by Csikszentmihalyi in 1975, and interest in flow research is growing. However, to our best knowledge, no scoping review exists that takes a systematic look at studies on flow which were published between the years 2000 and 2016. Overall, 252 studies have been included in this review. Our review (1) provides a framework to cluster flow research, (2) gives a systematic overview about existing studies and their findings, and (3) provides an overview about implications for future research. The provided framework consists of three levels of flow research. In the first “Individual” level are the categories for personality, motivation, physiology, emotion, cognition, and behavior. The second “Contextual” level contains the categories for contextual and interindividual factors and the third “Cultural” level contains cultural factors that relate to flow. Using our framework, we systematically present the findings for each category. While flow research has made progress in understanding flow, in the future, more experimental and longitudinal studies are needed to gain deeper insights into the causal structure of flow and its antecedents and consequences.

“…The most significant factor positively influencing purchase intent is the pleasure and enjoyment aspect of the book (Ozkara et al, 2017;Shahpasandi et al, 2020;To & Sung, 2015). When people are in a state of flow, they are less inclined to consider the practical ramifications of their activities and more likely to concentrate on their enjoyment of the activity (Urmston & Hewison, 2014). Literature indicates that shoppers experiencing high levels of flow are more likely to participate in hedonic activities (Bridges & Florsheim, 2008;Ozkara et al, 2017;Schmitt, 1999).…”

Leveraging the Power of Gamification in Consumer Decision Making: Hedonism vs. Utilitarianism

Various studies have been conducted on the shopping behavior, which is a widespread phenomenon in consumer culture, in the field of consumer behavior. Researchers have identified that personal, environmental, and cultural variables, along with other factors, influence shopping behavior. Among these factors, there are hedonic and utilitarian shopping behaviors, which are two different forms of consumer behavior motivated by different desires and goals. Understanding these distinctions can assist companies and marketing professionals in adjusting their marketing efforts to align with the demands and preferences of their target customers. Furthermore, gamification is a powerful marketing strategy that can enhance customer engagement, motivate desired actions, and provide valuable consumer data. This study has been prepared to determine what kind of changes occur in consumers' purchasing behaviour when gamification elements are included in the shopping process. Within the scope of the study, three specific aspects of purchasing behaviour are examined: hedonic shopping, utilitarian shopping and gamification. Based on flow theory, this study addresses the differences between the presence and absence of gamification elements in terms of hedonic shopping value and utilitarian shopping value. A longitudinal study was designed to determine the changes in consumer purchasing behavior caused by gamification elements. Data was collected in two different periods. The "hedonic and utilitarian shopping value" scales were used during the data collection process, which was conducted through an online form. Analyses were conducted using the data obtained from a total of 408 participants who participated in both data collection periods. According to the analysis results, consumers who prioritize utilitarian value in their shopping when gamification elements are not present tend to engage in more hedonic shopping when gamification elements are introduced. These results indicate that when gamification elements are included in the shopping process, they lead to changes in consumer behavior, alter consumers' purchasing styles, and influence the consumer decision-making process. The integration of gamification elements into the shopping process will have an impact on consumers' behaviors, purchase decision-making processes, and shopping patterns. Considering that hedonic shopping behavior leads to increased purchases and higher payments by consumers, representatives of the sector operating in e-marketplaces should focus on gamification elements.
