Abstract:
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.
摘要:
流动是一种令人欣喜的深度参与和吸收状态,个人在面对具有挑战性的活动时报告,他们认为有足够的能力来应对它(EFRN,2014).流动概念由Csikszentmihalyi于1975年提出,对流动研究的兴趣与日俱增。然而,据我们所知,不存在对2000年至2016年之间发表的流量研究进行系统研究的范围界定综述.总的来说,本综述包括252项研究。我们的综述(1)提供了集群流研究的框架,(2)对现有研究及其发现进行了系统概述,(3)概述了对未来研究的影响。所提供的框架包括三个层次的流动研究。在第一个“个人”级别中,是个性的类别,动机,生理学,情感,认知,和行为。第二个“上下文”级别包含上下文和个体间因素的类别,第三个“文化”级别包含与流动相关的文化因素。使用我们的框架,我们系统地介绍了每个类别的研究结果.虽然流动研究在理解流动方面取得了进展,在未来,需要进行更多的实验和纵向研究,以更深入地了解流动的因果结构及其前因和后果。
