In  yogic  traditions such as  Raja Yoga

in the practice of  Samyama  , a psychological
absorption in the object of meditation.  [75]
I’ve been studying the book with a group, and last week we looked at what’s
probably its best known verse, Job 19:25. That’s the spot where Job, in the
middle of striving with his friends who just keep insisting he must have
brought his sufferings on himself, seems to change the subject and suddenly
declares “I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at
last.” (  NLT

History") ]

 Mihaly Csikszentmihályi  and others began researching flow after Csikszentmihályi
became fascinated by artists who would essentially get lost in their work.
[8]  Artists, especially painters, got so immersed in their work that they
would disregard their need for food, water and even sleep. The theory of flow
came about when Csikszentmihályi tried to understand the phenomenon
experienced by these artists. Flow research became prevalent in the 1980s and
1990s, with Csikszentmihályi and his colleagues in Italy still at the
forefront. Researchers grew interested in optimal experiences and emphasizing
positive experiences, especially in places such as schools and the business
world.  [9]  They also began studying the theory of flow at this time.  [10]

The cognitive science of flow has been studied under the rubric of effortless
attention.  [11]

Condemning those who are ill certainly doesn't help ease the suffering. It
compounds it and makes people afraid to express their needs.  Job 42

tells us that God was angry with Job's friends and called their words and
attitudes "folly." Let's try not to imitate them.

History  &action=edit&section=18 "Edit section:
History") ]

In  education  , the concept of  overlearning
 plays a role in a student's ability to
achieve flow. Csíkszentmihályi  [3]  states that overlearning enables the mind
to concentrate on visualizing the desired performance as a singular,
integrated action instead of a set of actions. Challenging assignments that
(slightly) stretch one's skills lead to flow.  [54]

In the 1950s British cybernetician Gordon Pask designed an adaptive teaching
machine called SAKI, an early example of "e-learning". The machine is
discussed in some detail in Stafford Beer's book "Cybernetics and Management".
[55]  In the patent application for SAKI (1956),  [56]  Pask's comments (some
of which are included below) indicate an awareness of the pedagogical
importance of balancing student competence with didactic challenge, which is
quite consistent with flow theory:

> If the operator is receiving data at too slow a rate, he is likely to become
> bored and attend to other irrelevant data.
>
> If the data given indicates too precisely what responses the operator is
> required to make, the skill becomes too easy to perform and the operator
> again tends to become bored.
>
> If the data given is too complicated or is given at too great a rate, the
> operator is unable to deal with it. He is then liable to become discouraged
> and lose interest in performing or learning the skill.
>
> Ideally, for an operator to perform a skill efficiently, the data presented
> to him should always be of sufficient complexity to maintain his interest
> and maintain a competitive situation, but not so complex as to discourage
> the operator. Similarly these conditions should obtain at each stage of a
> learning process if it is to be efficient. A tutor teaching one pupil seeks
> to maintain just these conditions.

Around 2000, it came to the attention of Csíkszentmihályi that the principles
and practices of the  Montessori Method  of education, seemed to purposefully set up continuous flow
opportunities and experiences for students. Csíkszentmihályi and psychologist
Kevin Rathunde embarked on a multi-year study of student experiences in
Montessori settings and traditional educational settings. The research
supported observations that students achieved flow experiences more frequently
in Montessori settings.  [57]  [58]  [59]
Modern_era "Self-reflection")  self-consciousness 
4. A sense of personal control or agency over the situation or activity
5. A distortion of temporal experience, as one's  subjective experience of time  is altered
6. Experience of the activity as intrinsically  rewarding  , also referred to as  autotelic  experience

Those aspects can appear independently of each other, but only in combination
do they constitute a so-called _flow experience_ . Additionally, psychology
writer Kendra Cherry has mentioned three other components that
Csíkszentmihályi lists as being a part of the flow experience:  [12]

1. Immediate feedback
2. Feeling the potential to succeed
3. Feeling so engrossed in the experience that other needs become negligible

Just as with the conditions listed above, these conditions can be independent
of one another.

The concept of flow has been applied to various educational settings and
practices, offering valuable insights for teaching and learning. Here are a
few notable applications:

1. Skill development: Flow state theory can inform the design of  curricula  and learning activities that promote the development of specific skills.  [50]  By structuring tasks to align with students' skill levels and providing immediate feedback, educators can facilitate skill acquisition and mastery.
2. Optimal  learning environments  : Flow state research suggests that the design of learning environments can significantly impact student engagement and learning outcomes.  [51]  Creating environments that are challenging, supportive, and tailored to students' interests can facilitate flow experiences and foster deep learning.  [ _ citation needed   _ ]
3.  Motivation  and  well-being  : Flow state theory emphasizes the role of intrinsic motivation in optimal performance and well-being. Educators can encourage students' intrinsic motivation by promoting  autonomy  , competence, and relatedness in the learning process, thus facilitating flow experiences.  [52]
4.  Classroom management  : Understanding flow state dynamics can help educators manage classroom activities more effectively.  [53]  By providing clear instructions, structuring tasks, and offering appropriate challenges, educators can create conditions conducive to flow, leading to improved classroom experiences.  [ _ citation needed   _ ]

These applications demonstrate the potential benefits of integrating flow
state theory into educational practices. However, further research is needed
to explore the specific strategies and  interventions

effectively foster flow in educational settings.

Additional research into how flow impacts ethical decision-making across

ethical judgments, suggesting the necessity more extensive research in this

Implications  &action=edit&section=25 "Edit section:
Implications") ]

In the study "Predicting flow at work: Investigating the activities and job
characteristics that predict flow states at work", Karina Nielsen and Bryan
Cleal used a 9-item flow scale to examine predictors of flow at two levels:
activity level (such as brainstorming, problem solving, and evaluation) and at
a more stable level (such as role clarity, influence, and cognitive demands).
They found that activities such as planning, problem solving, and evaluation
predicted transient flow states, but that more stable job characteristics were
not found to predict flow at work. This study can help us identify which task
at work can be cultivated and emphasized in order to help employees experience
flow on the job.  [87]  In her article in _Positive Psychology News Daily_ ,
Kathryn Britton examines the importance of experiencing flow in the workplace
beyond the individual benefits it creates. She writes, "Flow isn't just
valuable to individuals; it also contributes to organizational goals. For
example, frequent experiences of flow at work lead to higher productivity,
innovation, and employee development (Csikszentmihályi, 1991, 2004). So
finding ways to increase the frequency of flow experiences can be one way for
people to work together to increase the effectiveness of their workplaces."

The autotelic personality  &action=edit&section=11 "Edit section:
The autotelic personality") ]

Csíkszentmihályi hypothesized that people with certain personality traits may
be better able to achieve flow than the average person. These traits include
curiosity, persistence, low egotism, and a high propensity to perform
activities for intrinsic reasons. People with most of these personality traits
are said to have an _ autotelic  personality _
.  [22]  The term "autotelic" derives from two Greek words, _auto_ , meaning
self, and _telos_ meaning goal. Being autotelic means having a self-contained
activity, without the expectation of future benefit, but simply to be
experienced.  [35]  [ _ unreliable source?
 _ ]

There is scant research on the _ autotelic 
personality _ , but results of the few studies that have been conducted
suggest that indeed some people are more likely to experience flow than
others. One researcher (Abuhamdeh, 2000) found that people with an autotelic
personality have a greater preference for "high-action-opportunity, high-
skills situations that stimulate them and encourage growth" compared to those
without an autotelic personality.  [22]  It is in such high-challenge, high-
skills situations that people are most likely to experience flow.

Experimental evidence shows that a balance between individual skills and
demands of the task (compared to boredom and overload) only elicits the flow
experience in individuals having an internal  locus of control
 [36]  or a habitual action
orientation.  [37]  Several correlational studies found  need for achievement
 to be a personal
characteristic that fosters flow experiences.  [38]  [39]  [40]

Autotelic Personality also has been shown in studies to correlate and show
overlapping of flow in personal life and the  Big Five Personality Traits
 of
Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to
Experience. More particularly the traits of agreeableness and extraversion.
Study of Autotelic Personality is difficult as most studies are performed
through self-evaluation, as an Autotelic Personality is difficult to observe.
