Aim: The aim of this study was to examine emotional literacy studies for children and adolescents in a holistic manner. Methods: Bibliometric analysis method was used in the study. The search results in the Web of Science database were analyzed using the bibliometrix package in R software. Results: The number of studies on emotional literacy for children and adolescents in the Web of Science database was 172. The studies cover the years 1999-2024 and the annual growth rate of the number of studies is 11.44%. The most relevant source for the studies was Educational Psychology in Practice. When the trend topics were analyzed, prevention and prevalence studies were replaced by intervention studies over time. Conclusion: In this bibliometric study, it was determined that emotional literacy studies for children and adolescents show variability according to years and it is considered as a new field of study in the literature.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada çocuk ve ergenlere yönelik duygusal okuryazarlık çalışmalarının bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle bütüncül olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmada bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Web of Science veri tabanında yapılan arama sonuçları R yazılımında bibliometrix paketi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Web of Science veritabanında çocuk ve ergenlere yönelik duygusal okuryazarlık üzerine 172 çalışmanın olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmalar 1999-2024 yıllarını kapsamakta olup çalışma sayılarının yıllık büyüme oranının %11.44 olduğu görülmüştür.
