Exploring Personality, Emotion, and Skills: A Bibliometric Study

Abstract

This study, based on a 53-year dataset (1971-2024) collected from the Scopus database, provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the intellectual structure of research on personality, emotions, and skills. Using bibliographic coupling as a primary method, the analysis screened the titles, abstracts, keywords, frameworks, and headings of 863 articles relevant to the field. The study examines the temporal distribution of research outputs, with a particular focus on trends from the last decade. To visualize the scientific landscape, the study employed VOSviewer for mapping co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and citation networks. The analysis highlights the most prolific journals, influential authors, dominant subject areas, and frequently used keywords. It also identifies the leading countries and educational institutions contributing to this research domain. The findings provide a detailed overview of the field's development and intellectual trends, offering insights and recommendations for future research directions. © 2025 IEEE.
