| Summary / Zusammenfassung | Previous research has shown that incongruence between the implicit and explicit achievement motive impairs flow experience. We hypothesize that achievement motive incongruence only unfolds its negative effects on flow experience when individuals act in situations in which achievement incentives arouse the motive conflict between both motives. In contrast, in non-achievement situations the motive conflict is not aroused and motive incongruence does not affect flow. In two experiments we manipulated achievement and non-achievement situations and measured participants’ flow experience. In accordance with the results of two additional correlative studies achievement motive incongruence impaired the experience of flow only in achievement, but not in non-achievement situations. | ||
