Flow in academic domain: the role of perfectionism
Flow is a highly enjoyable, optimal psychological state people feel when they are so focused at task that it amounts to complete absorption in an activity. Previous research found that tendency to experience flow (flow proneness) is related to some personality traits, but no research investigated the role of perfectionism in flow proneness. It is especially interesting to study this relationship since perfectionism is a multidimensional construct composed of both adaptive and maladaptive component. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between flow proneness in academic domain and perfectionism. Based on the theory of flow and the previous research showing that tendency to experience flow is negatively related to neuroticism and anxiety, we hypothesized that adaptive perfectionism is positively related to flow proneness in academic domain (flow A) and mediated by cognitive engagement, while maladaptive perfectionism is negatively related to flow-A and mediated by anxious engagement. Study included 261 University students with different majors (86% female). The following questionnaires were administered: the Swedish Flow Proneness Questionnaire (Ullen et al., 2012), the Almost Perfect Scale-R (Slaney et al., 2001), and the Engagement Scale (Rovan et al., 2014). Data analysis included regression analyses and bootstrap mediation analysis. As predicted, adaptive perfectionism showed both direct effect on flow-A, and indirect effect mediated by cognitive engagement. Maladaptive perfectionism showed also both, direct negative effect on flow-A and indirect negative effect mediated by anxious engagement. The study provides the empirical support for the relationship between flow and perfectionism, suggesting engagement as the possible mechanism for this relationship.
