Elkington, Samuel D. "To take the flow of leisure seriously : a theoretical extension of Csikszentmihalyi's flow." Thesis, University of Bedfordshire, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10547/325527.
Full textAbstract:
Csikszentmihalyi's (1975b) 'flow' theory has been extensively developed and utilised, providing the leading explanation for positive subjective experiences in the study of leisure. The prescriptive tenets along with the archetypal descriptive characteristics of the flow state have been well documented. What is less explicit, however, is what occurs within experience in the instances immediately prior to the onset of flow and those immediately following: in what the author has come to term as pre-flow and post-flow experience (Elkington, 2006 and 2007). This research approaches the dearth of knowledge concerning pre- and post-flow experience from the perspective of existential-phenomenological psychology with the aim of bringing clarity to the experiential, conceptual, and theoretical uncertainty surrounding what goes before and after a state of flow and with it a more complete and holistic understanding of flow experience. The research explores the intricacies of flow experiences of participants from one activity characteristic of each of Stebbins' (2007a) amateur, hobbyist, and career volunteer serious leisure categories, namely: amateur actors, hobbyist table tennis players, and volunteer sports coaches. Using narrative meaning as an interpretative tool to generate descriptions of the specific experiential situations and action sequences that comprise pre- and post-flow produced a single representative narrative of pre- and post-flow experience, and the first empirical insights into the phenomenology of such phases of experience. Examining flow in the context of serious leisure has revealed there to be significantly more to the act of experiencing flow than depicted in Csikszentmihalyi's (1975b) original framework, re-conceptualising flow as a focal state of mind in a broader experience-process model comprising distinct, intricate, and highly-personalised phases of pre-flow, flow-in-action, and post-flow experience. Combining flow and serious leisure has evoked the affinity of serious leisure activity for flow experience and the discovery that serious leisure and flow are not two disparate frameworks, but are structurally and experientially 'mutually reinforcing' of one another, revealing an explanatory framework of optimal leisure experience. The newly-emerged process view of flow was used to provide insights into the phenomenology of flow in serious leisure, adding to the explanatory capacity of Stebbins' serious leisure theoretical framework. Conflating flow and serious leisure in this way provides for significant and exciting opportunities for knowledge transfer between these two established leisure-related frameworks and signifies new vistas for future research in both fields.

Bei N = 101 Arbeitnehmern verschiedener Berufe wurden mit der Experience Sampling Method (ESM) eine Woche lang Daten zum Flow-Erleben, zu Glück/Zufriedenheit und zur Zielausrichtung laufender Aktivitäten erhoben (N = 4603 Messungen). Die Daten wurden mit GLMM-Analysen ausgewertet. Auch bei der jetzt vollständigen Erfassung aller Flow-Komponenten mit der FKS bestätigte sich das „Paradoxon der Arbeit“, wonach während der Arbeit höhere Flow-Werte, aber niedrigere Werte für Glück/Zufriedenheit auftreten als jeweils in der Freizeit. Während der Arbeit waren Aktivitäten häufiger auf die Erreichung von Zielen ausgerichtet als während der Freizeit. Die Zielausrichtung wirkte auf Flow vs. Glück/Zufriedenheit signifikant verschieden. Während der Arbeit hat die Zielausrichtung auf Flow einen stark positiven Effekt, auf Glück/Zufriedenheit jedoch nicht. Im Freizeitbereich war der Effekt von Zielausrichtung auf Glück/Zufriedenheit sogar negativ. Das „Paradoxon der Arbeit“ lässt sich partiell als Effekt der Zielausrichtung verstehen.<br>For a week, data of N =101 employees with different professions was collected with the Experience Sampling Method (N = 4603 measurements). These data included flow-experience, happiness/satisfaction and goal adjustment of current activities. The data were analysed with GLMM. Flow-experience was measured with all components (FKS) and they confirmed the "paradox of work" (i.e., flow-scores are higher during work but scores for happiness/satisfaction are higher during spare time). During work, participants activities were more often directed towards reaching a goal. The effects of goal adjustment on flow vs. happiness/satisfaction differed significantly. During work goal adjustment had a strong positive effect on flow, but not on happiness/satisfaction. During leisure time goal adjustment had even a negative effect on happiness/satisfaction but a positive on flow. The "paradox of work" could be partially attributed to the stronger goal adjustment during work.

Was bringt intensive Computernutzer dazu, ihre Freizeit am Rechner zu verbringen, und gibt es hierbei Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen Nutzertypen? N = 271 Personen nahmen an einer online Befragung zu Anreizen freizeitlicher Computernutzung teil. Durch ausgewählte Internetverteiler waren gezielt besonders engagierte Computernutzer angesprochen worden (M = 3,9 Freizeitstunden am Rechner pro Tag). Für diese Nutzer fanden sich (in der Reihenfolge ihres Gewichtes) folgende Anreizfaktoren: Zugehörigkeit/Gemeinschaft; Kompetenzerleben; Vielseitigkeit/Nutzen; Langeweilevermeidung; rebellische Illegalitätstendenz. Gruppiert nach ihren bevorzugten Nutzungsweisen fanden sich drei Nutzertypen: Zweckorientierte Nutzer (58%), Hacker (= Eindringen in fremde Systeme ohne Schädigungsabsicht, 22%) und Cracker (Eindringen mit Schädigungsabsicht, 20%). Diese Nutzertypen unterschieden sich deutlich in ihrem Anreizprofil. Hacking und Cracking, nicht aber zweckorientierte Nutzungsweisen waren korreliert mit Flow-Erleben und positiver Aktivierung am Rechner. Die Ergebnisse sind nicht repräsentativ für alle Freizeitnutzer. Sie beziehen sich auf eine gezielt rekrutierte Stichprobe besonders engagierter Computernutzer, die über spezifische Netzwerke (z. B. relevante Fachschaften, Chaos Computer Club) erreichbar sind.

Previous issue date: 2003-05-30<br>In the passage of life, the labyrinth of songs and corners are propitious ways for
a better comprehension, perception and incorporation of learnings that emerge
from our subjectiveness in a magic caught by senses. Eyesight, taste, hearing,
touch and smell in communication with the world, put us in front of cultural
diversities. The ludicity accumulated by experiences promote the flow of
hilarious and concrete discoveries that express themselves in work and leisure
demonstrations. Such reflections emerge indicators to the problematic
construction centralized in the incorporation of cultural experience knowledge to
the formation process and professional interventions in this rule and area. From
this significant problematic, aiming to deepen studies, we favored leisure as
field of investigative production in full expansion. This, for sure, was an exercise
of qualification that guided us through meander of education and made us dip
into studies about the corporeity. A research in which the scenery was painted
and constructed with the complicity of the culture lived with shine, colors,
rhythm and drummings of one of the most present cultural cycles: carnival.
Recognized as a stimulant for beauty, participation, socialization, and helped us
to enter in the essence of gestures and expressions of corporeity, to think,
elaborate and socialize a critic-scientific knowledge which, appropriating from
the rhythm of colors, of sounds, of tonalities, of senses and of meanings
impregnated in the web of life. All these things seduced the researcher, making
imagination flow amid ludic-creative dialogues with the imaginary of
researchers creation and production in the rule and area of leisure, education
and corporeity. Option that made us outline as objective to investigate and
interpret how leisure teachers-researchers, from their studies, researches and
interventions, locate and incorporate the knowledge from cultural experience to
the formation process and intervention of professionals in this rule and in this
area, emphasizing the contributions from this knowledge to fence and qualify
this praxis. So, as living each cultural scenery, each epistemological
contribution was feeding the production with images of the different versions of
the Brazilian breedings, creating and raising expectations and new discoveries
and newcomers. With the seriousness of a scientific study, we lived an
xxiii
academic experience with complex intensity, rigor and coherence, eliminating,
step by step, the risks and limitations always present in a work of this
magnitude. However, we weren t, even for one moment, alone. Our epistemic
regard always maintained mediated by the principles of a methodological
approach - the Etnomethodology, that while central guide provided us clues to
unveil the lived world by our people-playful , in a universe of 15 members, that
allowed themselves to comprehend, comment, analyze. This way, grasping the
object in interactions arised and provoked by narrative interview, it was
systematically dialected by (re) interpretation of images and formulations of
people-playful, enriched by their beliefs, myths, conceptions and rituals inherent
to knowledge from cultural experience, which each one attuned with Brazilian
and international history, in a mixture of senses echoed from songs and tales.
Inspired in drummings and percussions, clothing and choreographies of
gestures and expressions, in mixtures produced in unit interactions in the
multiplicity shown as necessary requests to the totality of life, with ludicity the
rescue of the past, the conquest of present and the construction of future was
the axle guide. This rich process of scientific creation made us realize that is
possible qualify and empower the praxis in the rule and area of leisure
incorporating the knowledge from cultural experience. What also becomes
possible is the recuperation of objective revolutionaries and changing conditions
of praxis itself with the view of strengthening and triggerment of vital elements
in the rule and area of leisure. We also reaffirm that from this praxis emerge
elements necessary to human formation in plenitude, by the appropriation of
knowledge that guide the facing of challenges of a complex and plural world
that valorize education, corporeity and leisure<br>Na travessia da vida, os labirintos dos cantos e recantos s?o vias prop?cias para

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the leisure participation of the surfing participants who surfed at these three spots in the north coast of Taiwan: Honeymoon Bay in Dasi Town, Wai-ao and Wushih Harbor in Toucheng Township. Questionnaires were designed to understand the characteristics of the surfing participants and their flow experience and leisure conflict when surfing. There were 420 effective questionnaires collected by adopting the purposes sampling. All the collected materials were analyzed by descriptive statistics analysis, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, and canonical correlation analysis.
The findings of the study were suggested as the followings:
1. The current conditions of the surfing participants were followed: (1)Gender: the majority were “male”. (2)Age: the range was between 21 and 30 years old. (3)Occupation: the majority were “students”. (4)Education degree: the majority were “college degree”. (5)Habitation: the majority were in “Taipei County” and “Taipei City” were reaching 80% . (6)Years of practice: the majority were 0 and 3 years. (7)Frequency of surfing in a week: the majority were “less than 1 time in a week”. (8)The most popular area of surfing: the majority were Wushih Harbor were reaching 42%. (9)The highest using rate of surfboard: the majority were long board.
2. Concerning flow experience, there were significant differences among surfing participants of different age, years of practice, frequency of Surfing in a week and the highest using rate of surfboard which meant the varied flow experience of the surfing participants because of their own traits.
3. There were also significant differences in leisure conflict between surfing participants of different frequency of surfing in a week and the highest using rate of surfboard which meant the varied leisure conflict of the surfing participants because of their own traits.
4. There were two canonical correlation factors reaching significant level between flow experience and leisure conflict of surfing participants which revealed that canonical correlation did exist in the between .
Keywords: surfing participants, flow experience, leisure conflict.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>森林環境暨資源學研究所<br>103<br>Recently, with people living in difficult economic situations, the fuel cost increasing, and people''s concern about environmental protection and health care growing higher, plus with the government''s promotion and the maturing of the bicycle lane network, bicycling has become an important leisure activity for many people in the country.
This paper aims at discussing at what kind of degree the bicycle cyclists achieve their Serious Leisure, Flow Experience, and Leisure Satisfaction, and also the factors and the mutual relationships of the above three items. With that in mind, the purpose of this paper is to prove that the Serious Leisure features that the cyclists have will greatly affect their achievements in Flow Experience and Leisure Satisfaction; and their Flow Experience achievements will also affect their Leisure Satisfaction achievements.
This paper targets the cyclists who participate in online bicycle clubs, and this paper is done with purposeful sampling by giving out questionnaires. 428 questionnaires are returned, with 414 of them achieve effectiveness. The rate of the usable questionnaires recycled is about 97%. All data, after being kept a record and put in order, are done with Descriptive Statistics, T-TEST and Anova, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and Regression analysis.
The results of the paper indicate that there is an obvious positive correlation between Serious Leisure and Flow Experience. In addition, according to the results of Regression analysis, Serious Leisure has a positive effect on Flow Experience, with the dimension of “The unique ethos” affecting it the most, and the dimension of “Have careers in their endeavors”the second most. Also, there is an obvious positive correlation between Serious Leisure and Leisure Satisfaction. Serious Leisure has a positive effect on Leisure Satisfaction, with the dimension of “The unique ethos”affecting it the most, and the dimension of “Significant personal effort” the second most. At last, there is an obvious positive correlation between Flow Experience and Leisure Satisfaction. Flow Experience has a positive effect on Leisure Satisfaction, with the dimension of “Autotelic experience” affecting it the most, and the dimension of “Clear goals and feedback” the second most. In conclusion, all of the results of the paper are consistent with its hypothesis. The results of the paper can be applied as advice and reference to the promotion strategy of bicycling leisure activities.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立澎湖科技大學<br>觀光休閒事業管理研究所<br>98<br>The purpose of this study was to construct a causal model in an effort to explore the relationship between serious leisure and leisure benefits by considering the role of leisure attitude and flow experience of cyclists. Data were collected from members of bike associations and participants in Taiwan, aged above 18-year-old, via the on-site survey by purposive sampling technique, and got 487 effective samples of this survey.
The data were analyzed using structure equation modeling (SEM), and the results reveal that serious leisure affects leisure benefits and flow experience through a mediating variable, leisure attitude. Accordingly, it was inferred that the greater the serious leisure is, the greater the expression of leisure attitude and flow experience is, and results in creating more leisure benefits. One of the practical implications was that the government and the societies should be justified in making more efforts to promote leisure activities. Finally, a leisure behavior model of cyclists was constructed and suggestions were made for future studies.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>中國文化大學<br>觀光事業學系<br>99<br>This study aims to examine the relationship between leisure motivation, leisure involvement and flow experience. The mountain bikers were chosen as the research population. The quantitative approach was employed. A structured questionnaire was designed based on relevant theories. The sampling locations were selected under two considerations: more slope changes of the riding routes, and more bicycle clubs and riders in the regions. Therefore, three climbing routes near suburban Taipei were chosen: Mu-zha Mao-kong path, Xin-dian Tong-hou forest road, and Ping-lin bicycle trail. Purposive sampling was used. The valid sample size was 403. Descriptive statistics, correlations and regressions were used for analysis.
The results showed that three research hypotheses were all supported. 1. Mountain bikers’ leisure involvement was influenced by their leisure motivation. Person challenge and stature factors had stronger positive effect. However, social interaction had negative effect on leisure involvement. 2. Mountain bikers’ flow experiences were positively influenced by their leisure involvement. Attraction, centrality, social bonding, and identify expression factors had stronger positive effect. 3. Mountain bikers’ flow experiences were influenced by their leisure motivation. Personal challenge and stature were crucial motivation for the mountain bikers.

碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>休閒運動研究所<br>105<br>After the implementation of weekends off, people paid more and more attention to the leisure sport. Since exercise habit had to be developed from a young age, it was crucial to cultivate this habit as a student. The objects of this study were junior high students who participated leisure sports. The participation motivation, flow experience and leisure benefit in the middle school students in Chiayi County were discussed, and the differences of the participants with different background variables were analyzed. Convenience Sampling was used in this research. Questionnaires were 400 in total, and 383 of them were valid. The effective response rate was 95%. The collected data were analyzed and verified by SPSS 18 for Windows software, and analyzed by descriptive analysis, independent sample t test, correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe’s method and stepwise regression analysis. The results of the study found: (1) The background of the participants in the variable distribution was that men, the first graders, who exercise 4 to 5 days a week, 5 hours a week or less, have participated in sports teams or sports associations more. (2) Background variables were significantly different in the participation motivation, flow experience and leisure benefits. (3) There was a significant positive correlation between participation motivation and leisure benefit. Besides, there was also a significant positive correlation between flow experience and leisure benefit. (4) Both participation motivation and flow experience had a positive impact on leisure benefits.
The conclusions were as following: The main reasons for students who participated in the leisure sports in the participation motivation were for the "health needs"; in the flow experience were for the ‘’autotelic experience’’; and in the leisure benefits were for the ‘’physical and mental benefits’’. Finally, this study presents practical and future research recommendations for reference.

碩士<br>臺北巿立體育學院<br>休閒與運動管理碩士班<br>97<br>It has been almost seven years since Taiwan, R.O.C. allowed the import of the heavy-duty motorcycles on January 1, 2002. Both decreasing the license tax of motorcycles in 2005 and 2007 and releasing the right of way(getting on the most through ways) help riding motorcycles become a leisure activity. However, bad impressions such as luxury, danger have been constantly mentioned and will certainly influence the advanced development of this activity. Besides, we know less about the people who engaged in this activity. Therefore, I try to figure out the current situation and the activity-participating experience of the motorcyclists,the serious leisure characteristics and the differences on the constructs of serious leisure. This is the reason why I do this research, which is based on the serious leisure theory proposed by Stebbins(1982). In this research, 506 motorcyclists were selected as study subjects to help finish the questionnaire. By collecting and analyzing the data (descriptive analysis, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Scheffe’s method, Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient), seven results are obtained as followings:
1. The current conditions of the heavy duty motorcyclists are followed, (1)Gender: 94.5% are ”male”. (2)Age: 47.4% are “thirties”. (3)Education: 56.5% are “college degree”. (4)Monthly avenue: 20.6% are between “30,001~39,999”.
2. Activities-participating experience：(1)motorcycle type: 39.6% are riding “naked”. (2)Organization/ Group: 69.2% are “members”. (3)the average monthly expense: 62.1% are “under 10,000”. (4)the first brand choice: 19.4% choose “Honda”. (5)the first type choice: 24.9% choose “naked”. (6)challenge level: 68.0% are “medium”.(7)skill level: 70.4% are “medium”.
3. The average value of the whole serious leisure scale reaches 3.97, which shows that riding heavy-duty motorcycles is serious leisure.
4. The average value of the whole flow experience scale reaches 4.48, which shows that riding heavy-duty motorcycles can easily have flow experience.
5. Concerning serious leisure, there are significant differences (p<.05) existing in “if join in the organization/ group or not , “challenge level ”, “skill level”. “partners numbers within a riding”, and “see riding motorcycles as a permanent leisure activity ”.
6. Concerning flow experience, there are significant differences (p<.05) existing in “monthly expense on a motorcycle , “challenge level ”, “skill level”, and“see riding motorcycles as a permanent leisure activity ”.
7. Significant correlation exists between “serious leisure” and “flow experience.”

In this study, we select 9 teen members and use in-depth interviews based on "Serious Leisure" and " Flow Experience" theory for data collection.
The result of the research shows:
(i) Durable benefits, significant personal efforts, unique ethos and identities are presented in characteristics of serious leisure for most of the members. Due to the high pressure from the school, only half of the members show the perseverance. In addition, as the members are teenagers, only few of them show the career.
(ii) The teen members have clear goals in their flow characteristics. The majority of them can get instant feedback from the activities of the orchestra. They are highly self-confident and very optimistic to find a way to break through when they face a challenge. Though sometimes they are distracted, most of them concentrate on the task, have the merging of action and awareness, pay full attention in activities. Therefore, they always feel time flies when they attend the activities of the orchestra. Most of members feel the pleasure from the activities and have strong motivation to continue participation.
(iii) The teen members present only five states of flow, including boredom, relaxation, arousal, control and flow. Arousal, control and flow are presented in the members with different skill levels. The level of challenge and skill is totally determined by the individual's self-awareness. Just like some of them prefer to practice songs with middle level of difficulty while others want to take challenges. Nevertheless, both groups of members will always try to find a balance between skills and challenges. Therefore, the flow experience comes.

In the leisure and recreation fields, there were many literatures showed that recreation participant could enhance people well-being. In order to explore the factors influencing individual psychological well-being, there are three predictor variables in this study including: values, serious-leisure and flow experience. The purpose of this study was to combine the aforementioned variables to understand the psychological characteristics of participants. The study subjects were campers, and research sites was the campground of Xitou Nature Education Area. The surveyed period was from June to October in 2013. A total of eight surveys, 233 valid questionnaires, were collected.
The reliability analysis showed the scales had acceptable internal consistency. The study used exploratory factor analysis to reduce the data and find interpretable factors for further analysis, and used independent-samples t-test and one-way ANOVA to analyze the differences among concepts for the social-demographic variables. Multiple regressions and hierarchical multiple regressions were then used to find the predictive power of values, serious leisure and flow experience factors on psychological well-being. The results from the data analysis were showed as below:
1. There were significant differences of serious leisure, flow experience and psychological well-being among campers, but values were not.. Marital status was significantly different among aforementioned concepts, but gender was not.
2. Values had significant and positive effects on each conceptss; specifically, “internal values” influenced serious-leisure, flow experience and psychological well-being more than “external values” did.
3. Serious leisure has significant and positive effects on psychological well-being, but the effects were not found in hierarchy III multiple regression model. That is, when flow experience entered the model, the effects of serious leisure on psychological well-being disappeared.
4. Flow experience played an significant role in mediating both values and serious leisure on psychological well-being.
5. Based on the adjust △R2 in the hierarchical models, the results showed that values had most effects on psychological well-being, in particular, on the“positive relations with others”psychological well-being factor.
The findings have implications for management. Managers may tailor their services to meet the diverse backgrounds of their campers. Accordingly, we suggest that managers should provide a setting with a welcome, kind, warm, friendly, respected, sincere, decent, helpful and prompt service atmosphere so as to enhance the psychological well-being of their clienteles.

碩士<br>大葉大學<br>休閒事業管理學系碩士在職專班<br>95<br>This research was aimed at exploring relationships among cyclists’ leisure motiva-tion, enduring involvement, and flow experience.
Using a convenience sampling method, twenty-two cycling clubs were first se-lected from a list of mid-Taiwan bikes’ clubs. Then, members of these clubs were solic-ited to respond to a 4-page questionnaire. Six hundreds of questionnaires were distrib-uted. A total of 463 completed questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 77.2%. Initial descriptive statistics were run in order to examine the demographic and participation patterns of the sample. Reliability analysis was conducted to test all the scales. In addition, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation and content analysis were performed for data analysis.
A majority of the sample were male. Most of the respondents were over the age of 40, and reported monthly incomes of NT$20,001~60,000. They were primarily married, and had graduated from senior high schools. Respondents had been cycling for an av-erage of 4.76 years.
The results of bivariate analyses indicated that:
1. there were significant differences in leisure motivation among cyclists with varied demographic background. (i. e., gender, residence, age, marital status, education and monthly income);
2. there were significant differences in enduring involvement among cyclists with varied demographic background. (i.e., gender and monthly income);
3. there were significant differences in flow experience among cyclists with varied demographic background. (i.e., gender, age, marital status and monthly income);
4. there was a significant positive, linear relationship between cyclists’ cycling behavior and enduring involvement;
5. there was a significant positive, linear relationship between cyclists’ cycling behavior and enduring involvement;

碩士<br>大葉大學<br>休閒事業管理學系碩士在職專班<br>107<br>Travel and photography are inextricably linked with each other. Travelers always attempt to record every detail of their journey, about which the travelers may reminisce in the future. This study aims to explore and discuss: how travel photographers’ personality traits, leisure involvement, and experience of “flow” in their work affects their sense of subjective wellbeing; the effect of travel photographers’ personality traits on their sense of subjective wellbeing; the effect of travel photographers’ experience of “flow” in their work on their sense of subjective wellbeing; the effect of travel photographers’ leisure involvement on their sense of subjective wellbeing, and the effect of travel photographers’ personality traits, experience of “flow” in their work, and leisure involvement on their sense of wellbeing.
Measurement instruments included the following five components: the Scale for Personality Traits, the Scale for Leisure Involvement, the Scale for “Flow” Experience, the Scale for Subjective Wellbeing, and individual demographic variables. This study employed purposive sampling, and distributed questionnaires on-line. Questionnaires were distributed in March and April, 2019. Statistical methods included descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis.
This study found that significant difference in subjective wellbeing can be observed in terms of “age”, “marital status”, “occupation”, and “monthly expenses on photography soft-ware and components for cameras”. In terms of personality traits, predictors for travel photographers’ subjective wellbeing included neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Extraversion and neuroticism had strongest effects. In terms of travel photographers’ leisure involvement, “self-expression” predicted travel photographers’ subjective wellbeing. In terms of travel photographers’ experience of “flow” in their work, “concentration and feedback”, and “loss of self-consciousness” predicted travel photographers’ subjective wellbeing. Travel photographers’ personality traits, which include neuroticism and extraversion; leisure involvement, which includes attraction and self-expression; and experience of “flow” in their work, which includes concentration and feedback, predicted their subjective wellbeing.
Based on the final research results, the study provides constructive recommendations and serves as a reference for the tourism sector and people who work in the travel industry.
