Abstract

Optimum deneyim veya ototelik deneyim olarak da bilinen akış deneyimininin kökeni 1960’larda Maslow’un doruk
deneyim çalışmalarına dayanan, 1970’lerde
Csikszentmihalyi
tarafından geliştirilen ve pozitif psikoloji içinde yer alan bir araştırma
alanıdır.

Akış deneyimi, bağımlı ve bağımsız değişken olarak
uygulamalı araştırmalarda çalışılmış olmasına rağmen; net bir tanımının
olmadığı ve Türkçe literatürde tam olarak karşılığını bulamadığı dikkat
çekmektedir. Bu nedenle, bu makalede akış deneyimine ilişkin genel bir
literatür taraması yapılarak; akış deneyiminin teorik alt yapısına, tanımlarına,
araştırma alanlarına, boyutlarına ve modellerine yer verilmiştir.  Elde edilen bulgulara göre; “psikolojik/zihinsel/bilişsel durum, herhangi
bir faaliyette bulunma, yoğunlaşma,
ilgili faaliyetten keyif alma, kendini verme, zorlukla/zorluklarla
mücadele, optimal deneyim, motive olmuş hissetme, hedef, ilgili faaliyet için
beceri sahibi olma ve geri bildirim”in akış deneyimi tanımlarında, boyutlarında
ve modellerinde en sık kullanılan kavraml/ifadeler olduğu görülmektedir.
Araştırma alanlarının ise; spor alanında başladığı oyun, sanat, dans ve müzik,
eğitim ve çalışma gibi insan yaşamının pek çok yerinde yaşanabildiği dikkat
çekmektedir.
