“…Scientific literature has associated the optimal experience with motivation and attention theories, and its emergence has been studied in different areas, such as academic, work, leisure environments, and more extensively in sports conditions (Keller & Landhäußer, 2012;Moneta, 2012;Sinnamon, Moran, & O'Connell, …”

Flow Dimensions on Daily Activities with the Spanish Version of the Flow Scale (DFS)

A sample of 250 students of psychology with an average age of 20.37 years, answered the Flow Q questionnaire indicating their favorite flow activity, and the Spanish version of the Dispositional Flow Scale (DFS). A confirmatory factor analysis assessed the DFS construct validity of the flow model on daily activities. Both a hierarchical model of eight first order factors reflecting a second order global flow factor, and a model with eight formative first order flow dimensions, showed good fit and discriminant power. Most optimal activities were found to be individual and structured, such as studying, reading and certain forms of individual sports. Leisure activities turned out to be more rewarding than studying. Sports displayed more flow, clear goals, merging of action and awareness, and autotelic experience. Reading also showed more flow, balance of challenge and skills, feedback, merging of action and awareness, and loss of self-consciousness. On the other hand, studying displayed less flow, merging of action and awareness, and autotelic experience.

“…Generally, the sample was comparable to other validation studies of FSS (e.g. Engeser & Rheinberg, 2008 and N = 246) and it is generally sufficient for the purpose of the study, taking into account the inherent difficulties of the quantitative state flow measurement (Engeser & Rheinberg, 2008), where the respondent should be involved in a skill-related activity (Keller & Landhäußer, 2012). Moreover, items 11 -13 (about perceived importance) were not included in the analyses because Schiepe-Tiska and Engeser (2017) indicate that FSS scale consists of ten items and the additional items are designed separately to assess perceived demand/skills fit.…”

“…Specifically, participants were asked to choose a quiet, familiar spot where they could be on their own, and to work on a skill-related activity of their choice (c.f. Keller & Landhäußer, 2012); one they typically perform and enjoy, and it is likely to generate a flow state. Ideally, during the activity performed they should have a clear set of rules to follow and be able to get feedback on their progress (Csikszentmihalyi, 2000(Csikszentmihalyi, , 1978Moneta, 2012;Csikszentmihalyi, 2014).…”

The purpose of this research was to examine the psychometric properties of the Flow Short Scale by Rheinberg, Vollmeyer, and Engeser in 160 Greek adults. State flow (as opposed to dispositional flow) was measured while participants were involved in a leisure time activity. First, construct validity was evaluated with factor analysis techniques like ICM-CFA, ESEM, Bifactor CFA and Bifactor ESEM. A total of 15 alternative models were evaluated. Two solutions showed optimal fit. First, it was the two-factor structure replicating the original structure but with different item allocation on each factor, probably due to cultural differences. Second, it was a shorter version of FSS with 6 items in the two original factors instead of 10. A MIMIC model indicated a significant direct effect of age on FSS factors thus, population heterogeneity. A significant direct effect on an indicator was also found, hence measurement noninvariance. Reliability (α and ω) was acceptable, but not AVE. Flow had a significant positive, moderately strong relation with emotionality and life satisfaction. In sum, the suggested factor structures for FSS were found to be reliable and valid to use in Greek cultural context.

“…Both mismatches will hinder a person to enter the flow channel (see Figure 1). Further constituents to achieve a state of flow represent a clear structure/goal of the task at hand (including an immediate feedback; see [42]). Of relevance, another prerequisite to enter the flow channel and "to get into the zone" is a high focus on the task at hand, hence a concentrated mind.…”

Abstract:The present article gives an overview on central challenges humans face at the dawn of complex digital societies and the Internet of Things (IoT), i.e., a world completely connected to the Internet. Among the many challenges to be handled in digital societies is a growing fragmented life style leading to loss of productivity as well as moments for self-reflection. In all this, it is of tremendous importance to understand the impact of digital worlds on our brains and psyches and to reveal possible unintended side-effects of technology use. Does human nature change due to constant interactions with virtual realities? In this context, we also face the challenge to design digital worlds according to our mammalian-emotional heritage deeply anchored in subcortical areas of the human brain. Here, we refer to emotional needs as carved out by Panksepp's Affective Neuroscience Theory and how they can or cannot be fulfilled in digital worlds. Aside from a review of several key studies dealing with the raised challenges, some first solutions to successfully meet the mentioned problems are provided to achieve sustainable and healthy digital worlds, with whom humans can interact carefree on a daily basis.
