Just want to mention that a new study on flow experienced while online gaming has been recently presented. This time it has been done within the communities of Chinese gamers - in continental (<span style="font-style: italic;">pre-Olympic</span>) China. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Again, flow is the major factor</span>. The paper has been presented at CATAC (<span style="font-weight: bold;">www.catacconference.org/</span>) meeting in Nimes, France in late June, 2008.<br />The survey has been done by my former grad Chinese student Weitse, and the presenter was my PhD student Nastya Avetisova, who is fluent both in English & in French and who participated heavily in this study. I'd like too to go to France to present the paper (I've never been in France), but I was busy at a Moscow <span style="font-style: italic;">Cognitive Science</span> conference (<span style="font-weight: bold;">cogsci2008.ru/eng</span>) where I was in the Board and chaired two sections.<br />The paper is published in a book of Proceedings which is not online.<br /><br />Alexander VoiskounskyAlexander Voiskounsky, Psych Dept, Moscow State Uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13392691411382085637noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651968110350215540.post-19475874640325935022008-08-08T21:54:00.001-07:002008-08-08T22:10:24.059-07:00<span style=";font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;" >I'll be glad to discuss anyone's comments on the chapter entitled</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">FLOW EXPERIENCE IN CYBERSPACE<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">A year and a half have passed since the main content of this chapter was collected and put on paper (sorry, on my monitor & in my computer's .doc file).</span></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Newer studies are worth to be discussed; otherwise, the older ones can be re-discussed; quite likely, I've missed the most pertinent publications...<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wait for your comments...</span></span><br /></div></div></div></div>Alexander Voiskounsky, Psych Dept, Moscow State Uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13392691411382085637noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651968110350215540.post-36579090846419887932008-07-15T08:42:00.001-07:002008-11-29T04:24:31.278-08:00Chapter 4Cyberspace constitutes a specific environment; the investigations in this field are based either on the original cyberspace-dependent methods and theories, or on universal theories and methods worked out in diverse areas of knowledge, not necessarily closely connected with cyberspace. A psychological theoretical construct (with vast practical perspectives) introduced by Csikszentmihalyi, (2000/1975) known as optimal, or flow experience, alongside the methods of its measurement, basically refer to the universal, that is, nonspecific theoretical and methodological background...<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#330099;">To cite this chapter please use:</span><br /><span style="color:#330099;">Voiskounsky, A.
