proposed at 1975 by Cskiszentmihaly, it was widely applied in all kind of areas which<br />

included music, school education, the network, the job, the sport, the volunteer, the leisure,<br />

the Trans-Culture research, the daily life, the computer network (browsing) <strong>and</strong> so on.<br />

In the measurement of meditation flow experience aspect, Jackson & Marsh(1996) proposed<br />

nine construction surfaces which includes clear goal, immediately pay back, the skill <strong>and</strong><br />

challenge balanced, the sense of self-control, the sense of time change, self-forming<br />

experience, the loss of self-awareness, the unite of the body <strong>and</strong> mind, <strong>and</strong> the total<br />

concentration in the activity. In the networking training environment meditation flow<br />

experience research which proposed by Cation(2000), the surface construction of mediation<br />

can be divided into the immediately payback, the clear goal, the unite of knowledge <strong>and</strong><br />

action, the full concentration, the latent control feeling, temporary lost the determination, the<br />

sense of time change, the long distance live feeling, the spontaneous experience <strong>and</strong> the<br />

positive emotion. This research referred to the meditation flow scale which was applied by<br />

Jackson <strong>and</strong> Marsh (1996) <strong>and</strong> Cation(2000), <strong>and</strong> considered the characteristic of meditation,<br />

<strong>and</strong> used the seven construction surfaces which included “the clear goal”, “immediately the<br />

payback”, “the skill <strong>and</strong> challenge balanced”, “the full concentration in the activity”, “the<br />

sense of self-control”, “the sense of time change” <strong>and</strong> “self-forming experience” to be the<br />

measurement foundation for the meditation flow.<br />

Well-being<br />

Well-being is <strong>healthy</strong> or the joyful feeling which generally may divide into quality of Life, is<br />

called QOL, mental health <strong>and</strong> mental development <strong>and</strong> used the factors above to measure the<br />

well-being. The quality of lives is emphasis on invisible spiritual life level to person's<br />

survival <strong>and</strong> the development meaning, <strong>and</strong> defined the subjective welling being as the<br />

cognation <strong>and</strong> value of the individual to their life satisfaction level. (Diener, Suh, Lucas &<br />

Smith,1999), <strong>and</strong> mainly used the overall life satisfaction feeling <strong>and</strong> the specific satisfaction<br />

feeling to be the measurement foundation. The well being in the metal health aspect thought<br />

that a well being person first need to have a <strong>healthy</strong> mind, <strong>and</strong> this kind of health usually was<br />

show in people emotion aspect. The related research thought that people's subjective well<br />

being situation was decided by certain time inner product extremely emotion <strong>and</strong> the passive<br />

emotion balance. If the people experienced more in happy emotion <strong>and</strong> less in unhappy<br />

emotion, this person could be estimated as a well-being person. The mental development<br />

defined the well being as that the well being was not only about the happiness; moreover also<br />

including reached fully personal potential to achieve the perfection (Ryff,1995). The related<br />

research thought that the subjective well being measurement only limited to people's positive<br />

feeling, but the positive feeling was not equal to positive <strong>healthy</strong> life, <strong>and</strong> then proposed that<br />

the psychological well-being, is called PWB.<br />

Method<br />

In order to analyze the influence relation between flow experience <strong>and</strong> well- being, this<br />

research established linear structure equation pattern which showed as follows: The latent<br />

independent variable for the flow experience (ξ1), latent depends variable for the well being<br />

(η1). The latent independent variable for flow experience (ξ1) included the clear goal (X1),<br />

immediately the payback (X2), the skill <strong>and</strong> challenge balanced (X3), the full concentration in<br />

the activity (X4), the sense of self-control (X5), the sense of time change (X6) <strong>and</strong> selfforming<br />

experience (X7) seven items. Latent depends on the variable well being (η1) the<br />

observation variable included the physiology (Y1), the psychology (Y2), the environment<br />

(Y3), the public relations (Y4), the self-growth (Y5), happy optimistic (Y6) <strong>and</strong> life
