According to Vallerand (2003), passion conceptually means high involvement in the context of recreation. Passion can be divided into two types, namely harmonious and obsessive. Previous research has shown that harmonious passion is usually accompanied by positive consequences, while obsessive passion often results in negative ones. Hence, whether this dualist model of passion affects recreation specialization is an issue worth studying, and whether these two types of passion lead to flow experience should also be examined. The purpose of this study was to empirically explore the relationship of passion for activities, recreation specialization, and flow experience among mountain stream anglers. Based on purposive sampling, a questionnaire was administered among anglers in major mountain stream fishing spots and specific stream fishing clubs in Taiwan. 505 valid responses were obtained. The responses were analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM). Results showed that both harmonious passion and obsessive passion had a positive effect on recreation specialization, but only harmonious passion could affect flow experience positively. Obsessive passion was negatively related to flow experience. Based on conclusions, this study proposed managerial implications for the authorities concerned and the leisure industry as well as suggestions for future researchers.
