MAPSA 2018 Abstract Submission Guidelines

The theme of Malaysian Psychology Student Association Conference (MAPSA) 2018 is ‘Psychology in the Digital Age’. We welcome submissions for papers and posters on research surrounding the theme, including but not limited to:

  • Application of digital technology (e.g. virtual reality) in the field of psychology

  • Contribution of psychological understanding (e.g. perception) towards the development of digital technology

  • The impact of digital technology towards psychological aspects (e.g. well-being) and social life of individuals

  • The impact of digital technology towards child development

  • Future prospect of digital technology application in psychological research

 

Empirical papers are encouraged for all presentations. However, proposals or non-data-driven/non-research papers are also welcomed.

As abstracts cannot be modified once submitted, we highly recommend that authors who do not have English as their first language have their abstracts proofread by someone who is fluent in English before they are submitted.

All abstracts will be submitted through the Easy Chair page. The link for abstract submission will open on 16th July (Monday) and will close on 26th October (Friday) 2018. Once you reach the submission page, kindly follow the instruction to complete your submission.
