Abstrakt: This study explored the flow experiences of male NCAA Division I athletes (n = 80) and intramural athletes (n = 100). Participants completed the Flow State Scale-2 (FSS-2) (Jackson, 2001) as well as several items pertaining to perceived ability. The intramural athletes reported experiencing the merging of action and awareness (p < .05), autotelic experience (p < .05), transformation of time (p < .05), and having clear goals (p < .05) more frequently than the NCAA Division I athletes. No group differences were found for perceived ability. Perceived ability was associated with merging of action and awareness (p < .001) and perceived control (p < .001). Together, the findings suggest different flow characteristics occur in NCAA Division I athletes as opposed to intramural athletes. Further understanding into the experience of flow and the influence of sport context are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
