Abstract
The current study set out to investigate the effect of flow experienced during artistic activities on performance. Furthermore, the study looked into how the relationship between flow and performance was affected by a moderating variable, namely the perceived feedback given by art teachers. Based on a non-experimental cross-sectional model, the research included a sample of 108 students of various art degrees. The results suggested that flow predicts performance in art (ΔR2 = .10, p < .001), while perceived feedback acts as a moderator on the link between flow and performance (F(3, 104) = 11.17, p < .001), having a buffering effect and not an enhancing effect as this study initially proposed (ΔR2 = .057, β = -.24, p < .01). Moreover, a separate moderation analysis was performed for each subscale of the perceived feedback measuring instrument. Some possible explanations of the buffering effect are presented based on the scientific literature.
