For whom is the Flow Short Scale intended?
This self-report questionnaire is suitable for adults.
What does the FSS measure?
The Flow Short Scale (FSS) has been developed to measure flow in its different components in everyday life. The FSS is a very economical instrument for this purpose, so the activity in question is only marginally interrupted.
What does the FSS questionnaire consist of?
The 13 Items of the FSS are divided among the scales flow and anxiety. The items are answered on 7-point Likert scales.
How does the FSS scoring work?
The psychometric properties of the FSS have been found to be very good. The core of the FSS, the 10 items which measure flow, demonstrated an internal consistency around .90 (Cronbach’s Alpha). The anxiety scale demonstrated a bit lower, but still very good result.
