Abstract: This research examined the nature and dimensions of intrinsic experience and its relationship to place. Intrinsic experience is defined as experience in and of itself, for itself, and for no other purpose but itself. Subjects were 72 adults who qualified for study inclusion by indicating the simultaneous occurrence in a discrete experience of dimensions identified by earlier literature and research. Interviews were conducted in an urban, rural, and wilderness proximal location in a midwestern state.;Findings indicate that intrinsic experience transpires within and is strongly related to overall life-context. Men and women exhibit different patterns when comparing the relationship of intrinsic experience to prescribed role behavior. The qualities of experience which comprise intrinsic experience are supported or impeded by place and location. Locations which restrict a sense of suspension from everyday life may limit the frequency and recurrence of intrinsic experience.
