Abstract
The MSc Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) at Buckinghamshire New University is a part-time two-year programme, and is now in its fourth year. This Proceedings represents the contributions to our 2nd Applied Positive Psychology Symposium held on Saturday 21st May 2016. The symposium was first held in May 2015 as an opportunity for our first cohort of MAPP graduates to present their completed dissertation work to a wider audience, and prepare papers for the symposium’s Proceedings that were based on their dissertation projects. The intention is that, for some, this may be an important first step in looking to publish work in an academic journal or in other ways as appropriate. We are delighted to be able to return with a second symposium which, again, provides this opportunity for our students. We are further encouraged that this year, alongside students presenting dissertation work, we also have contributions from current MAPP students who are presenting work based on, or inspired by, work they have undertaken as part of their assignment work on the course. We hope this may set the precedent that future students will also want to engage with the symposium this way, and develop their ideas further as part of the process. We are also very happy to welcome a contribution from a researcher who is not involved with the MAPP at Bucks New University (Cal Cooper, p. 98). It is our intention that we may further build upon this as part of future symposia by inviting contributions from other researchers and students on other MAPP or related programmes. We trust you will find the papers in the Proceedings to be an engaging and uplifting insight into some of the latest work being conducted by the next generation of positive psychology researchers and practitioners.
