Scaling The Heights Of Positive Psychology: A Systematic Review Of Measurement Scales, Courtney E. Ackerman, Meg A. Warren, Stewart I. Donaldson
Management
The volume of empirical research on positive psychology topics has grown substantially over the past two decades. This review examines how constructs in positive psychology have been operationalized, measured, validated, cited, and applied to build the science.

Findings reveal a wide range of scales being used to measure a variety of constructs, including scales on both life-enhancing and life-depleting constructs. Key characteristics such as journals, constructs, and scale development and …

Looking For Trouble: Opportunity Identification In The Entrepreneurship Classroom, Arthur L. Sherwood
Management
Opportunity identification is an important skill to develop in our entrepreneurship and innovation students and is often underdeveloped. This exercise begins with a very early stage idea development canvas (dubbed the Big Idea Canvas) and moves to a use of popular press magazines where students identify customers, their pains/gains, dissatisfaction with current solutions and an offering to address the opportunity. Additionally, we add in the chance for students to practice sharing their own skill sets to support upcoming venture team formation. The exercise could work well with any of the popular ‘canvases’ currently in the field including ones we use …

Professional Psychology Associations In The Gcc: Positive Institutions Whose Time Has Come, Susannah-Joy Schuilenberg, Meg Warren, Annie Crookes, Scott I. Donaldson, Dawn Mcbride
Management
Professional associations have a mandate to protect and regulate those members deemed qualified to provide mental health services to the public. This is accomplished through supervision and policing of practitioners’ conduct, informed by an understanding of the application of ethics. Yet, in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, many hurdles preclude the development and maintenance of professional organizations, such as a lack of understanding of the range of services available within psychology, little professional oversight and no legal mandate for it, as well as a disinterest in professionalizing the field. Yet, by adopting a positive psychology framework, the current view …

Positive Psychology Research In The Middle East And North Africa, Meg A. Warren, Stewart I. Donaldson, Kathryn M. Doiron
Management
Since the original call by Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi (2000) for a new science of happiness, excellence, and optimal human functioning, there has been considerable momentum in the research in positive psychology (see Donaldson, Dollwet, & Rao, 2014). A systematic review of the literature explicitly linked to the positive psychology movement assessed the extent of authorship, empirical and theoretical publications, and engagement of local samples in the indigenous research emerging from the Middle Eastern and North African regions. An in-depth review of these articles (n = 53) was conducted to examine the trends in publication, author locations, sample locations, key …
