Flow-Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Optimal Experience) | -flow is a perfect balance of: challenge of activity, skills of participant, merging of actions/awareness |
Flow Component #1 | -the activity is challenging, requires skill -challenge required skills are perfectly balanced -if challenge is too high=anxiety -if challenge is too low=boredom -if challenge and skill are too low=apathy |
Flow Component #2 | -merging of action and awareness -all attention is focused on activity -actions almost automatic -completely absorbed in activity |
Flow Component #3 | -concentration is on activity -one is able to forget or not think about other life events |
Flow Component #4 | -loss of self-consciousness -no room/time for self-scrutiny |
Flow Component #5 | -clear goals and feedback -example: rules of game, project to complete |
Flow Component #6 | -involves a sense of control (individuals feel control when they really don't have control) |
Flow Component #7 | -transformation of time |
Flow Component #8 | -autotelic -completing the activity is a reward within itself -done without the expectation of future reward |

devastation and disaster | -risks overwhelm competence of individual, -to the point of perception of the likelihood of injury or death |
misadventure | -condition which occurs when competence does't match risk |
peak adventure | -occurs when concentrating intensely, -experiencing a sense of euphoria, -results of perfect balance of risk and competence |
