Abstract
The purpose of this research is to explore the efficacy of flow experience as a group intervention to reduce depressive symptoms among university students. Sample comprised of 17 university students, aged 18 to 23 years (M= 20; SD= 1.56). Participants were recruited through multi stage sampling and final selection was made on the basis of scores on Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Revised (CESD-R, Van Dam & Earleywine 2011). Participants were given Flow Activity Identification Questionnaire (FAIQ), to identify flow experience activity. FAIQ was developed by authors during first preparatory phase of this research. Participants participated in the identified activity for 90 minutes each week for four weeks. Results showed significant decline in depressive symptoms among participants after participation in flow experience activity. It is concluded that flow experience is an effective group intervention that can be used for students experiencing depressive symptoms.
