Well-being, Flow Experience and Personal Characteristics of Individuals who do Surfing as Serious Leisure: A Pioneer Study on Inland Surfing

Original language description

The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between surfing and flow experience, life satisfaction and personality characteristics of Czech and Slovak surfers. We worked with two samples: Surf group (N=69; F: 34, M: 35; age: 20 - 47) and Non-surf group (N=70; F: 39, M: 31; age: 18 – 50). The data was collected online by the Flow State Scale-2 (Řezáč, 2007), the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (Fahrenberg et al., 2001) and the NEO 5-factor Personality Inventory (Hřebíčková &amp; Urbánek, 2001). The Flow Questionnaire (Csikszentmihalyi &amp; Csikszentmihalyi, 1982) was administrated for the Non-surf group to identify a flow activity. In relation to the flow experience, surfers described dimensions of an autotelic experience and experienced a time transformation more often than non-surfers and non-surfers described the flow dimensions of unambiguous feedback and a sense of control more often than surfers.
