Metacognitions of Flow Experience: Towards an Understanding of the Self-Regulation of Optimal Experience
Flow has been described as a state of cognitive efficiency and intrinsic enjoyment, whereby a person feels at one with the activity. The existence of an autotelic personality’, an inter-individual difference dimension characterised by the propensity with which a person experiences flow, has been …
