چکیده
Positive Psychology has been growing slowly in Latin America, Spain and Portugal for the last decade.
As a way to map the activity on the field a comparative analysis was performed on the articles published in journals indexed in SCOPUS using the phrase “Positive Psychology” in their title, abstract or
key words from 1960 to September 2013.
The search threw only 861 entries dating back from 1994. The concept of Positive Psychology as
a technical term was mentioned as early as 1950 (Froh, 2004) but formally it was disseminated in the
late nineties (Seligman, 1999), for this reason as a technical term it is considered as a new concept in
Psychology.
Out of that universe of 861 articles, 67 of those entries, that is, less than 8% of the total were produced by authors from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. Figure 1 shows the ten leading countries
from the selected region arranged by the number of articles fulfilling these criteria. The distribution of
articles leaned strongly towards Spain, which a ratio of 2.5 to 1 in relation to its closest follower Brazil.
Given that authors often collaborate with their peers from other countries, it is important to mention that this sample of regional research on Positive Psychology was produced in co-authorship with
specialist from the US, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and France.
Based on the distribution in time of those articles depicted in Figure 2, it is evident that more activity on the subject was recorded within the last six years. This trend coincides with the first World
Congress on Positive Psychology held in 2009 in Philadelphia, in the US.
