本研究以認真休閒與心流體驗之理論為基礎，透過深度訪談的方式，訪談7名30歲以上且本身有一份非音樂性正職工作之獨立樂團參與者，探討其投入音樂創作與樂團活動之認真休閒特質與心流體驗。
研究結果顯示：
（一）獨立樂團參與者投入樂團活動的動機從外在的因素逐漸轉變為內在動機影響，而音樂創作為7名獨立樂團參與者持續投入樂團活動共同的動機因素。
（二）本研究的7名獨立樂團參與者，均表現出認真休閒中「堅持不懈」及「持續的效益」之特質。樂團活動參與者在克服了時間不足等各種困難與挫折，持續投入樂團活動的同時，也從中獲得了自我實現、表現自我、提升自我能力及形象的成就感，讓參與者產生持續投入音樂和樂團活動的動機。
（三）「失去時間感的變化」為本研究7名獨立樂團參與者皆呈現的心流體驗特徵；而「明確的目標」及「挑戰與技能的平衡」兩項為最難以達到心流體驗感受之特徵。
