PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENA AND SURFING: PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS, LIFE SATISFACTION AND FLOW EXPERIENCE IN CZECH AND SLOVAK SURFERS
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 & Urbánek, 2001). The Flow Questionnaire (Han, 1988) 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 nonsurfers and non-surfers described the flow dimensions of unambiguous feedback and a sense of control more often than surfers. The group of surfers had higher rates in all the dimensions of life satisfaction as well as in the overall life satisfaction. However, statistical significance was not reached. The results also suggest that surfers are more emotionally stable, more extraverted, more open to new experiences and more conscientious. This study can serve as a launching pad for further research in inland surfing
