A scale of psychological flow was also applied (prepared and developed by the researcher herself) that consists of the following dimensions: skill and challenge (5 clauses), focus attention (5 clauses), missing time feeling and self-awareness (5 clauses), direct feedback (5 clauses) and self-enjoyment (5 clauses). There are five options to be answered in each clause as follows: (always- often- sometimes- rarely- never). The data was then processed by appropriate statistical means. With regard to the participants in the current research paper, the following results were as follows: there is a statistical relationship between the motivation to academic achievement with all dimensions and the total and the psychological flow except missing the time feeling by the research sample. The results also indicated that there are statistical differences between low and high level of psychological flow. The academic achievement can be predicted by the psychological flow of the research sample i.e. male and female secondary stage students in the state of Kuwait. (Published abstract)
