Domain-specific

  • Flow State
    • T6: Flow Operationalization vs Experiential Phenomenology.

      This sourceOperationalizes flow by measuring its components via the Flow Short Scale (rather than only the challenge-skill ratio), reviews methodological problems in flow research, and finds the challenge-skill-balance assumption only partly supported; supports the operationalization-versus-phenomenology tension in flow research.

      Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

      The abstract shows flow measured as experienced components rather than the challenge-skill operational definition, backing the operationalization half of the tension only.

      “In three studies, we attempted to avoid these problems by measuring the experience of flow in its components, rather than operationally defining flow in terms of challenge and skill.”

      From the publisher's abstract.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
