L. (2024). 'Why isn't flow flowing? Metatheoretical issues in explanations of flow.' Theory & Psychology, 34(2). doi:10.1177/09593543241237492. a position paper, not an empirical study. 'While descriptive accounts of flow have gained prominence in "popular" psychology, scientific research has reached a crisis point due to perceived limitations of current theoretical explanations for the experience.' They relay that Swann and colleagues 'argued that, due to its descriptive nature, Csikszentmihalyi's original work on flow is best characterized as a model rather than a theory'. THE SPECIFIC CHARGE THAT FLOW THEORY IS UNFALSIFIABLE OR TAUTOLOGICAL WAS SEARCHED FOR AND NOT FOUND IN PRINT, and the article says so and declines to make it.
