Immersion (Psychology)

Immersion in psychology refers to a state where an individual becomes fully engaged and absorbed in an activity, experience, or environment, often losing awareness of external surroundings. This deep involvement enhances focus, learning, or emotional response, as the person’s attention is fully devoted to the present experience. Common examples include being engrossed in a book, video game, or meditation. Immersion can promote skill development, relaxation, and personal insights by fostering intense concentration and connection with the task or environment.
