本研究致力于心流理论，根据该理论，参与活动的技能和任务要求的兼容性会产生心流体验，从而使活动具有内在的回报。从相关性研究出发，我们采用实验范式，旨在测试的影响，技能需求的兼容性出现的流在计算机化的任务。一方面，来自自我报告的结果支持平衡假设，并表明技能需求兼容性导致愉快的心流体验。另一方面，结果还表明，技能需求的兼容性导致（a）降低心率变异性，表明增加的心理工作量，和（B）的压力，表明相对较高水平的唾液皮质醇。这些结果表明，心流体验是联合收割机主观积极因素与反映紧张紧张和心理负荷的生理因素的结合。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
This research addresses flow theory according to which the compatibility of skills and task demands involved in an activity elicits flow experiences that render the activity intrinsically rewarding. Departing from correlational research, we applied experimental paradigms designed to test the impact of a skills-demands-compatibility on the emergence of flow in computerized tasks. On the one hand, the results from self-reports support the balance hypothesis and indicate that skills-demands-compatibility results in a pleasurable flow experience. On the other hand, the results also indicate that skills-demands-compatibility resulted in (a) reduced heart rate variability indicating enhanced mental workload, and (b) stress as indicated by relatively high levels of salivary cortisol. These results indicate that flow experiences combine subjectively positive elements with physiological elements reflecting strainful tension and mental load. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.
