摘要

The primary purpose of this study is to test the Flow Theory which indicates that flow experience in leisure involvement is positively related to life satisfaction of elder adults in residential homes. Seventy-four men and 56 women (78 years of age on average) volunteered for the study. They were interviewed daily with the modified Experience Sampling Method during a week period. Data were gathered through four self-report instruments, including Flow Questionnaire, Life Satisfaction Index A, Health Status Scale, and Marital Status Questionnaire, and they were analyzed using multiple regression. As predicted, the findings based upon the analysis supported the Flow Theory. Namely, flow experience significantly contributed to elder adults' life satisfaction (β(subscript flow)=0.43; F(subscript (3,126))=73.10; p＜0.01). Implications of the findings are discussed in the study.
