Finding Flow: The History and Future of a Positive Psychology Concept (original) (raw)

Springer eBooks, 2013

Abstract

This chapter explores Csikszentmihalyi’s flow concept from roots in Maslow’s theory of peak experience to recent work on effortless attention. Variations in numerous populations are described, including cross-cultural/cross-national work. Neurological correlates of this optimal state of consciousness are noted. Assessment methods are detailed, including questionnaires, interviews, laboratory inductions, and the experience sampling method. Implications for optimal development are discussed.
