Psychometric Evaluation of the Group Flow Inventory

Pels, F., Schulte, L., & Kleinert, J. (2025). The development and psychometric evaluation of the Group Flow Inventory (GFI). Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice. The Group Flow Inventory (GFI) is a validated questionnaire that measures group flow.

• The GFI assesses two higher level factors of group flow—primary fit (i.e., the degree to which all group members fit together in the light of a group task) and secondary fit (i.e., the degree to which the group system as a whole fits the group task).

• Two studies evaluating the GFI have shown that correlations exist between group flow on the one hand, and performance, motivational climate, intrateam communication, and well-being on the other hand.

• The GFI can be used particularly in research, following further investigation, its use in practice is also conceivable.
