Abstract
The aim of the present study is to conduct a systematic review and analysis of the literature on gifted adults to explore the state of research in this area. A bibliometric science mapping tool, based on co-word analysis and h-index, is applied using the Science Mapping Analysis Software Tool (SciMAT). Initially, 661 articles published between 1948 and 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS). Refined by English language and specific descriptors, 376 results were considered, and 28 themes and 32 clusters were identified as significant in the giftedness literature. Supported by life-span studies and earlier work on ability, data analysis revealed that adult giftedness is an emerging topic of research with a tentative development only a decade ago. The emergence of studies on giftedness in adults appears to be driven not only by cognitive testing (i.e., intelligence studies) or achievement research, but also, and more recently, by life satisfaction studies and the use of qualitative methodologies.
本研究的目的是对天才成人的研究文献进行系统的回顾和分析,以探讨这一领域的研究现状。基于共词分析和h指数的文献计量学科学制图分析软件工具(SciMAT)。最初,从Web of Science (WoS)检索了1948年至2022年间发表的661篇文章。通过英语语言和特定描述符的提炼,我们考虑了376个结果,并确定了28个主题和32个集群在天赋文献中具有重要意义。在生命周期研究和早期能力研究的支持下,数据分析显示,成人天赋是一个新兴的研究主题,十年前才有了初步的发展。关于成人天赋的研究的出现似乎不仅受到认知测试(即智力研究)或成就研究的推动,而且最近还受到生活满意度研究和定性方法的使用的推动。
