This paper analyzes the development of Positive Psychology in Argentina through a bibliometric study of the journal Psicodebate. Psychology, Culture and Society published by the Department of Psychology of the University of Palermo, between the years 2000 and 2007. A bibliometric study of the journal is carried out analyzing three main variables: the subjects of the published articles, author's productivity and the references, in which it is possible to notice the importance of Positive Psychology within the publication analyzed. The paper analyzes the characteristics of the most productive authors along almost 10 years of existence of the journal. Related to bibliographical references, three variables were studied: main indexed authors, reference's language and reference's date. This study can be considered an ex post facto research, according to Montero and Leon's classification (2002, 2005). The first eight issues of the journal are the sample of the study. Data analyses mixed bibliometric quantitative and qualitative approaches.
This paper is based on historical research. First, it analyzes from a critical historiography the emergence of the positive psychology movement at the end of twentieth century in the United States of America.Second, it points out the subject of study of positive psychology, a few possibly unsolved epistemological issues in the works of some distinguished scientists belonging to the movement. It also analyzes a number of debates around the need for positive psychology to find a unified and integrated theory that may guide its research.Finally, it reviews the contributions and possible future of positive psychology taking into account that, as some of its theorists have proposed, its success could be its demise as a movement, which will end up being part of the mainstream psychology.
Los estudios sobre internacionalización en publicaciones han sido frecuentes en los últimos años, aun cuando existen distintas apreciaciones sobre los alcances del concepto. En este trabajo sintetizamos algunas de esas posiciones. Seguidamente, analizamos tres indicadores de internacionalización para las publicaciones relacionadas con formación en psicología: 1) colaboración internacional entre autorías de trabajos publicados; 2) liderazgo en la colaboración internacional entre autorías; 3) el Índice de Diversidad Lingüística. Metodológicamente, realizamos un estudio ex post facto, centrado en análisis de documentos. En primer lugar, revelamos todos los artículos publicados relacionados con formación en psicología. Para ello, si existían keywords, se buscaron palabras claves relacionadas; sino, analizamos el resumen o el trabajo completo. En segundo lugar, analizamos los índices de colaboración internacional y de liderazgo en la misma. Para ello, cargamos en una base de datos la totalidad de autorías de los trabajos relevados con la indicación de institución y país de pertenencia. En tercer lugar, para analizar el Índice de Diversidad Lingüística, trasladamos en una base de datos las referencias de los artículos, clasificándolos según idioma. Posteriormente, analizamos los resultados y se extrajeron los indicen correspondientes. Por último, los resultados cuantitativos fueron analizados de manera cualitativa.
