Utilising Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's comprehensive theoretical framework on flow and addressing the shortcomings of prior research, data were obtained from Google Scholar via two distinct strategies concentrating on the keyword clusters "flow experience" and "flow state." The analysis indicated a substantial rise in flow-related papers, particularly since 2014. Research trends on this subject have also broadened to encompass other domains, like education, sports, technology, and mental health, beyond the conventional realm of psychology. The analysis of keywords and their co-occurrence identified significant clusters of research topics: (1) Usertechnology interaction, (2) Education, learning, and personal development, (3) Personal experiences, (4) Flow-based games, (5) Video games, anxiety, and achievement. The study ultimately proposes further research avenues, such as the integration of modern technologies, the construction of a comprehensive flow scale, and investigations within certain demographics, occupational settings, health, and sustainable development. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities is the property of Universiti Putra Malaysia and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
