Abstract: The state of flow is an important psychological characteristic of educational video games design and evaluation. This study analyzed a Mexican adaptation of the Dispositional Flow Scale-2 psychometric properties in the use of video games. Based on the information provided by a sample of 312 students, aged 16 to 34 years (M = 19.90, SD = 2.73), from a university in northeastern Mexico a confirmatory factor analysis that suggested an acceptable fit of the factorial structure, adequate convergent validity but poor discriminant validity was performed. Based on an exploratory factor analysis a re-specified model was identified, grouping 33 of the 36 items of the scale. This factorial structure, which showed an acceptable fit, adequate convergent validity and discriminant validity, suggests that scale dimensions can be grouped into antecedents and consequences of flow.
