摘要
This study examines the conditions necessary to transform online information search into "play," a highly positive experience capable of delivering intrinsic value in the form of escapism and enjoyment. On the basis of the four-channel model of flow, perceived play is investigated as the consequence of flow versus various nonflow states. Moderated by product involvement, play serves as a link between flow theory and the online consumer attitude formation process.
