The concept of Flow was first explained by Csikszentmihalyi (1975),
described as an "optimal experience," he noted that artists were
entirely caught up in their projects, working feverishly to finish
them and then lose all interest in their work after completion. The
incentive lies in the act of creativity itself. The person feels
optimally challenged while totally immersed in the activity. At the
heart of flow research is the motivational aspect of this
experience. Flow motivates people to carry out certain activities
repeatedly, seeking a challenge in the act and looking to improve
their skills and abilities. In this book, this motivational aspect
will be imbedded in and related to other theories of (intrinsic)
motivation and empirical work on flow and performance. The book
provides a review of the current flow research, with a focus on
rigorous analysis on methodology. The author takes the time to
present methodological aspects in flow research to qualify
empirical work. In addition, this volume presents
neuropsychological considerations and empirical correlates of flow
experiences. The work also describes various theoretical
integrations of the different paths being taken within the field of
flow research. 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 experience research should continue.
