Abstract

Background and Objectives: Flow experience, characterized by deep immersion and complete engagement in a task, is highly recognized for its positive psychological impacts. The present study investigated the relationship between the flow experience with spiritual intelligence and cognitive style with the mediating role of cognitive control and goal orientation. Methods: This research method was descriptive- correlation based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population included Farhangian university of Guilan students in 2022-2023. Some 450 students were selected using the convenience sampling method. The research tools include Jackson and Marshall flow experience questionnaires (1996), Gebriz et al cognitive control questionnaire (2018), Elliott and McGregor's goal orientation (2001), Khodayari Fard et al spiritual intelligence questionnaire (2017), Kolb's cognitive style questionnaire(1985). Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings: The finding showed the optimal fit of the research model. Data analysis showed that spiritual intelligence, cognitive style have a direct effect on the flow experience (P<0.01). Spiritual intelligence and cognitive style have an indirect effect on the flow experience through cognitive control and goal orientation (P<0.01). Conclusion: These results show that cognitive control and goal orientation can explain the flow experience due to the role of spiritual intelligence and cognitive style.
