Psychological flow refers to a positive experiential state, based on enjoyment, concentration, and low self-awareness, which occurs during active task performance, when the performer is totally connected to the performance, in a situation where personal skills equal required challenges (Csikszentmihalyi 1990; Jackson and Marsh 1996; Ullén et al. 2012). In this research, we explore the relationships between sociodemographic variables and psychological flow in the context of outdoor adventure tourism. Furthermore, we explore the consequences of experiencing such a psychological state for that form of tourism, in terms of word of mouth (WOM) and in terms of tourists’ life satisfaction.

Abstract
Psychological flow refers to a positive experiential state, based on enjoyment, concentration, and low self-awareness, which occurs during active task performance, when the performer is totally connected to the performance, in a situation where personal skills equal required challenges (Csikszentmihalyi 1990; Jackson and Marsh 1996; Ullén et al. 2012). In this research, we explore the relationships between sociodemographic variables and psychological flow in the context of outdoor adventure tourism. Furthermore, we explore the consequences of experiencing such a psychological state for that form of tourism, in terms of word of mouth (WOM) and in terms of tourists’ life satisfaction.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
