Based on prior research, there is evidence that suggests a relationship between flow, mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, and postformal thought. In Study 1, 46 undergraduates from Towson University, 12 male and 34 female, with an age range from 18 to 32 participated in this study. Materials consisted of a consent form, a demographic questionnaire, a postformal thought survey, the Short DFS, CAMS-R, CFS, and an additional flow questionnaire developed by Langer. Participants completed a consent form, the two demographic questions, and the remaining surveys. The research design was a correlational study testing the hypothesis that there would be positive linear relationships between flow, mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, and postformal thought. There was a significant relationship between flow, mindfulness, and postformal thought. There was also a significant relationship between mindfulness and cognitive flexibility. In Study 2, 51 undergraduates participated and completed all scales. The goal was to replicate the results of the first study using the same materials. Results were that, with the exception of one correlation, all of our scales were significantly positively inter-correlated. So the significant results of Study 1 were replicated and Study 2 found even stronger associations. Strategies for future research include developing a test that allows individuals to actually engage in flow, mindfulness, and cognitive flexibility rather than simply reflect on and report their propensity to do this.

关于流程，正念，认知灵活性和后形式思想的关系：两项研究

根据先前的研究，有证据表明流动，正念，认知灵活性和形式思维之间的关系。在研究1中，来自陶森大学的46名大学生，年龄在18至32岁之间的12名男性和34名女性参加了这项研究。资料包括同意书，人口调查表，形式后思想调查，Short DFS，CAMS-R，CFS以及Langer开发的其他流程调查表。参加者填写同意书，两个人口统计学问题以及其余调查。该研究设计是一项相关研究，检验了以下假设：流动，正念，认知灵活性和后形式思维之间存在正线性关系。流动，正念和后形式思维之间存在显着的关系。正念与认知灵活性之间也存在显着关系。在研究2中，有51名大学生参加并完成了所有量表。目的是使用相同的材​​料复制第一个研究的结果。结果表明，除一种相关性外，我们所有的量表均呈显着正相关。因此，重复了研究1的重要结果，研究2发现了更强的关联。未来研究的策略包括开发一种测试，使个人能够真正地参与流动，正念和认知灵活性，而不是简单地反思和报告自己这样做的倾向。目的是使用相同的材​​料复制第一个研究的结果。结果是，除一种相关性外，我们所有的量表均呈显着正相关。因此，重复了研究1的重要结果，研究2发现了更强的关联。未来研究的策略包括开发一种测试，使个人能够真正地参与流动，正念和认知灵活性，而不是简单地反思和报告自己这样做的倾向。目的是使用相同的材​​料复制第一个研究的结果。结果是，除一种相关性外，我们所有的量表均呈显着正相关。因此，重复了研究1的重要结果，研究2发现了更强的关联。未来研究的策略包括开发一种测试，使个人能够真正地参与流动，正念和认知灵活性，而不是简单地反思和报告自己这样做的倾向。
