Anxiety, Coping, and Flow

Empirical studies in interactional perspective


Introduction

Researchers from very different perspectives generally agree that behavior cannot be understood and explained in isolation from the situational conditions under which it is observed. Recent interactionists have stressed the continuous, bidirectional person-situation interaction process in which behavior develops and have advocated that the person and the situation form an indispensable and indivisible unit. Assuming that the individual is the active intentional agent in the interaction process, it has been emphasized that the “person in the situation” is the appropriate object of theory and empirical research. So far in the history of psychology we have devoted most of our time and resources to the study of the person side of the person-situation unit. However, theoretical formulations about the role of situations in human behavior imply a need for systematic knowledge about the situational side of the person-situation interaction process as well. The importance of such knowledge for more effective research on important psychological problems can be illustrated by recent empirical research on anxiety.
