ABSTRACT This study examines the casual leisure activities of older adults and their potential to create flow experiences. Using a qualitative approach, the study found that participants often choose leisure activities based on the perceived enjoyment and potential benefits; maintaining physical and mental health, altruism, or maintaining relationships with friends and family. Analysis revealed that flow-like experiences were facilitated by participants’ purposeful choices and focusing their attention on the immediate task. If participants do not achieve flow, their leisure activities were chosen to contribute positively to their well-being and quality of life.

退休与心流：老年人退休后的休闲休闲能否创造心流体验？

摘要 本研究考察了老年人的休闲休闲活动及其创造心流体验的潜力。使用定性方法，研究发现参与者经常根据感知的享受和潜在的好处来选择休闲活动；保持身心健康、利他主义或与朋友和家人保持关系。分析表明，参与者有目的的选择和将注意力集中在眼前的任务上促进了类似心流的体验。如果参与者没有达到心流，他们的休闲活动被选择为对他们的幸福和生活质量做出积极贡献。
