The application of imagery to enhance 'flow state' in dancers
In this thesis, I investigated imagery to enhance flow in dancers. To develop an imagery intervention, two Studies (Study 1 and 2) were conducted examining flow and imagery. Based on the findings from Studies 1 and 2, I developed an imagery intervention and tested its efficacy in terms of flow, …

YOU'RE THERE IN THE TIME SLIP: A HERMENEUTIC EXPLORATION OF AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE IN MUSICKING THROUGH THE LENS OF MIHALYI CSIKZENTMIHALYI'S FLOW STATE THEORY
… how do these align with Csikszentmihalyi's Flow State Theory? Finally, does Csikszentmihalyi's Flow State Theory provide a functional framework for aesthetic experience; how does the employment of this resolve the issues of communication; and does this allow for a clearer understanding of …

Reconceptualizing Flow from a Self-Regulatory Framework
The flow experience refers to a state characterized by complete involvement in a task. According to flow theory, the flow state is preceded by three antecedents, skill-task match, goals, and feedback. These antecedents lead to a flow state, which is exemplified by six components, merging of action …

ECOHYDROLOGICAL MODELING OF BEAVER DAMS
… that modify the water balance and modulate streamflow through different flow states, which might result in drought and flood mitigation. To date, four published hydrological models have been developed to predict these impacts; however, these models were unable to represent dam variability and …

Designing for Deep Engagement
Flow state represents the quality of meaningful experience-- an effortless, depth of attention that is often undermined in our interrupt-driven, modern society. In this thesis, I present four novel interventions to promote states of deep engagement. Evaluating whether one of these interventions has …

A Longitudinal Examination of Flow as a Predictor of Recreational Exercise
<p>Flow state is a valued psychological state of enjoyment and well-being. It is characterized by feelings of intrinsic self-reward and marked by nine dimensions theorized to contribute to flow state. Flow has been studied mostly in elite athletes, whom report highly lucid flow experiences; to a …

Dungeon Flow: Player Experiences of Flow in World of Warcraft
… study sought to explore player experiences of flow in the Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMO) World of Warcraft. Data from personal interviews, conducted after one-hour play sessions, was compared to Csikszentmihalyi's proposed elements of flow to determine in what segments of the game each …

Shared Creativity and Flow in Dance Improvisation Practice
… shared creative processes and the role of flow experience in group dance improvisation. A literature review suggested that dancers associate high-quality performance with 'being in the flow', and that group flow is a peak experience when a group is performing at its highest level. The first …

Decoupling congestion control and bandwidth allocation policy with application to high bandwidth-delay product networks
… new protocol, called XCP, enables very large per-flow throughput (e.g., more than 1 Gb/s), which is unachievable using current congestion control. Additionally, we show via extensive simulations that XCP significantly improves the overall performance, reducing drop rate by three orders of …
