Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the flow and related affective experience of the theatre audience. It was hypothesized that the flow experience during play would be associated with highly varied, more intense and more positive affective experience on the basis of the relevant literature. Immediately after the play was over, the scales which were specifically designed for this study were administered to 146 voluntary participants who came to watch the play entitled Gideon’s Knot staged in a private theatre in Ankara. The findings indicated that the audience experienced high level of flow during the play and mostly supported the hypotheses of the study. A model which explained the subjective experience of the theatre audience by the concept of flow was also proposed by taking some unexpected findings into account. The results were discussed within the framework of methodological limitations of the study and alternative explanations together with the implications regarding utilization of artistic products in psychotherapy context.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı tiyatro izleyicisinin akış ve ilişkili duygudurum deneyimlerini incelemektir. İlgili alanyazından hareketle oyun sırasındaki akış deneyiminin daha çeşitli, daha yoğun ve daha olumlu duygu deneyimiyle ilişkili olacağı hipotezleri önerilmiştir. Ankara’daki özel bir tiyatroda Gideon’un Düğümü adlı tiyatro oyununu izlemeye gelen 146 gönüllü katılımcıya oyunun hemen bitiminde bu araştırmaya özel tasarlanan ölçekler uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, izleyicilerin tiyatro oyunu sırasında yüksek düzeyde akış deneyimlediğini göstermiş ve araştırmanın hipotezlerini çoğunlukla desteklemiştir. Beklenmedik bazı bulgular da hesaba katılarak tiyatro izleyicisinin öznel deneyimini akış kavramı ile açıklayan bir model önerilmiştir. Sonuçlar, araştırmanın yöntemsel sınırlılıkları ve alternatif açıklamalar çerçevesinde, sanat eserlerinin psikoterapi bağlamında kullanılmasına yönelik doğurguları ile birlikte tartışılmıştır.
