Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationships between frequency of flow experience in studies and the cognitive motivational factors of Need for Cognition (NFC), Curiosity and Academic Motivation (AM). Furthermore, it aimed to analyse the relation between these motivational factors themselves. The final sample analysed consisted of 370 first-year students of the Psychology Bachelor in the University of Groningen. Statistical analyses included standard multiple regression analysis, factorial ANOVA as well as correlational analyses. Results suggested a complex relation between these motivational factors and flow, with NFC and some dimensions of Curiosity and AM being positively correlated with flow, while other dimensions of these predictors showing no significant correlation with flow. Furthermore, analysis of correlations between motivational predictors themselves also produced mixed results, wish some negative correlations contradicting our initial results.
