This second, thoroughly revised edition provides a review of the current flow research, with a focus on rigorous methodology. Part 1 addresses basic concepts, correlates, conditions and consequences of flow-experience. This includes the developments of the flow model, methods to measure flow, its physiological correlates, personality factors involved in the emergence of flow, social flow, the relationship of flow with performance and wellbeing, but also with possible negative consequences of flow. Part 2 includes new material on flow in diverse contexts of application, such as work, education, sports or human-computer interaction. As such, the book provides a broad overview on the current state of flow research and application. It presents what has been learned since the beginning of flow research, what is still open, and how the mission to understand and foster flow should continue. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and students in flow and motivation, as well as practitioners who seek for sound research on flow in their field of expertise. weiterlesen
