Personality Disorders: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

This study aims to map the studies on personality disorders using the bibliometric analysis method. It focuses on how the studies on personality disorders have evolved over the years, their distribution across different fields, their relationships with other concepts, the interest of countries, institutions, and researchers in personality disorders, and the visualization of relationships between studies and researchers. For the bibliometric analysis of personality disorders, contents indexed in the Web of Science database were used as criteria. VOSviewer software was used for the bibliometric analysis. The keywords used in the literature search were determined as: personality disorders, personality traits, and personality disorder. A literature search conducted on July 18, 2024, in the Web of Science database without any publication type limitation related to personality disorders reached 77,118 studies published between 1975-2024. Most of the studies were conducted in psychiatry, clinical psychology, and multidisciplinary psychology. The analysis results show that personality disorders have always been a topic of interest to researchers in the international literature, but this interest has increased significantly, especially after 2004. This study will contribute to future research by identifying gaps in the literature and the trends of researchers regarding the concept.

Kişilik Bozuklukları: Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz

Abstract

Bu çalışma, bibliyometrik analiz yöntemini kullanarak kişilik bozuklukları üzerine yapılan çalışmaların bir haritasını çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Kişilik bozuklukları üzerine yapılan çalışmaların yıllar içinde nasıl geliştiği, farklı alanlara dağılımı, diğer kavramlarla ilişkisi, ülkelerin, kurumların ve araştırmacıların kişilik bozukluklarına olan ilgisi, çalışmalar ve araştırmacılar arasındaki ilişkilerin görselleştirilmesi gibi konulara odaklanılmaktadır. Kişilik bozukluklarının bibliyometrik analizi için Web of Science veri tabanında indekslenen içerikler kriter olarak kullanılmıştır. Bibliyometrik analiz için VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Literatür taramasında kullanılan anahtar kelimeler: kişilik bozuklukları, kişilik özellikleri ve kişilik bozukluğu olarak belirlenmiştir. Web of Science veri tabanında 18 Temmuz 2024 tarihinde kişilik bozuklukları ile ilgili herhangi bir yayın türü sınırlaması olmaksızın yapılan literatür taramasında 1975-2024 yılları arasında yayınlanmış 77.118 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmaların çoğu psikiyatri, klinik psikoloji ve multidisipliner psikoloji alanlarında yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, kişilik bozukluklarının uluslararası literatürde her zaman araştırmacıların ilgisini çeken bir konu olduğunu, ancak bu ilginin özellikle 2004 yılından sonra önemli ölçüde arttığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, literatürdeki boşlukları ve araştırmacıların kavrama ilişkin eğilimlerini belirleyerek gelecekteki araştırmalara katkı sağlayacaktır.
