Journal of Sports Sciences, 18(10), 815-823. doi:10.1080/026404100419874. the standard flow instrument's factor structure failing in a sample of over a thousand people. The Flow State Scale was administered to 1,231 aerobic dance exercise participants and three competing measurement models were tested by confirmatory factor analysis. 'The single-factor model showed a poor fit to the data. The nine-factor model and the hierarchical model did not show an adequate fit to the data.' All subscales showed acceptable internal consistency except transformation of time, which is the component Csikszentmihalyi himself downgraded in the body of Flow. New to the vault with this pass.
