This qualitative study describes the lived experience of maladaptive daydreaming (MD), an excessive form of unwanted daydreaming that produces a rewarding experience based on a created fantasy of a parallel reality associated with a profound sense of presence. A total of 21 in-depth interviews with persons who self-identified as struggling with MD were analyzed utilizing a phenomenological approach. Interviewees described how their natural capacity for vivid daydreaming had developed into a time-consuming habit that resulted in serious dysfunction. The phenomenology of MD was typified by complex fantasized mental scenarios that were often laced with emotionally compensatory themes involving competency, social recognition, and support. MD could be activated if several requirements were met. Because social interaction seems to be incompatible with this absorbing mental activity, solitude was necessary. In addition, kinesthetic activity and/or exposure to evocative music also appeared to be essential features. Besides delivering a firsthand description of key characteristics of MD, the study also indicates that MD is associated with dysfunctionality for which participants expressed a substantial need for help.
Li Qi’s investigation of English major students in the North-eastern Normal University revealed that although the participants possessed solid grammatical knowledge, they lacked high level of accuracy and native-like appropriateness of actual use in given contexts (23). Kong Yan’s error analysis of Chinese students’ acquisition of English passive voice showed that for English learners of intermediate and advanced levels, despite lower error rates in passive structure, the error rates in use, especially in discourse, are still high (43).
