Sun Caiyun
Nanjing Medical University, China
Objective:
To represent the research status of positive
psychology and analyze the hot spots and to provide
references for clinical work and future research in this field.
Methods:
Literatures related to positive psychology were
retrieved in Web of Science Core Collection database
from 2000 to 2019. We make a bibliometric analysis about
the annual publication number, distribution of countries,
funding agencies, journals of publication and research areas.
CiteSpace visualization software and HistCite software were
used to facilitate the analysis of research hot spots and high
cited references respectively.
Results:
A total of 4536 pieces of literature relevant with
positive psychology were collected. The volume of published
documents showed an increasing trend year by year. America
had most articles which number is 1793 while China had 241
articles and ranking 6. The funding agencies and journals of
publicationwere diverse, most of which belonged to America.
The researchareasmainly consistedof Psychology, accounting
for 52.491%, while Nursing ranked 10 accounting for 1.984%.
Top 5 strongest burst keywords were mindfulness, psychosis,
association, predictor and randomized controlled trial. The
highest 10 cited references mainly focused on the research of
relationship between positive psychology and happiness and
positive psychological intervention methods.
Conclusions:
Positive psychology is at the stage of growing
and developing. Core journals have not emerged yet. America
is in the leading position in this field. The quantity of literature
in China is small and still has a larger upside. The research hot
spots include mindfulness intervention, associated therapy,
and design of randomized controlled trial. In future, research
workers could expand and enhance positive psychology
in clinical application and study for further exploration of
effective intervention program.
