Comparison of Capacity to Be Alone, Attachment Function and Flow in Student-Athletes and General Students

This study compares attachment functioning, capacity to be alone, and flow between student-athletes and general students. The three scales used were the Attachment Function Scale, the Anxiety about Being Alone Scale, and the Flow Experience Checklist. The analysis included an analysis of variance, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Correlation analysis showed a significant association between attachment function and capacity to be alone and flow. If a process model of flow focused on student-athletes could be examined, it would provide more useful clues for athletes.
