Q

what factors did Csikszentmihalyi propose about flow state?

A
  • has to be moderate level of challenge
  • activity stands out from daily life ones
  • good match between challenge and skill level (zone of proximal development)
  • task is freely chosen
  • task is totally absorbing (promote altered perception of passage of time)
  • clear goals
  • means/methods for reaching goals are clear
  • immediate feedback provided by experience (tracks how close to goal)

Q

what is the zone of proximal development and who created the concept?

A
  • Vygotsky
  • if trying to help someone get as good as possible at something then the task must be challenging and outside of comfort level

Q

how is Yerkes-Dodson curve related to flow?

A

arousal levels vs performance quality (YD)
arousal level (challenge) vs efficacy (skill) (flow)
- more challenging tasks are associated with lower arousal to achieve optimal level of performance

Q

what were the results from the O’Neill study that tried to objectively measure flow?

A
  • high achievers from specialist and young musicians from non-specialist have more flow in musical activities
  • moderate achievers from specialist and young musicians from non-specialist have more flow during games/hobbies

Q

what was interpreted about the moderate achievers?

A

being a moderate achiever at specialist school may impair ability to experience flow which may not be conducive to musical development

Q

what did Gloor, Oster and Fischbach use during a performance to test flow and what did it measure?

A

- movement using accelerometer
- pitch of sounds being produced
- relative position of members within group

Q

what were the results of the Gloor experiment that studied about the state of flow and group dynamics?

A
  • the more in flow the jazz band are by measuring oscillations or changes in body movement energy levels - the more the audience likes their music

Q

what are the advantages and disadvantages of the Gloor approach?

A

advantage: more reliable form of measurement of movement and energy

disadvantage: may actually not be measuring - exploratory study that we are expecting to see some relationships that deviate away from the basic equation
