Abstract: Abstract This study aimed to analyze 814 adolescent life satisfaction studies using bibliometric methods and to reveal the knowledge base, trends, and thematic areas in this research area. Our findings revealed that adolescent life satisfaction research has a history of approximately 45 years, with a notable increase in publications after 2010. Our analysis shows that the United States and China are the most prolific countries in the number of publications and that almost half of the studies in the adolescent life satisfaction literature are funded, with the highest funding rates in countries such as the UK, China, and Sweden. Thematic analysis shows that Psychosocial well-being and support systems, Healthy life behaviors, and Psychological health are the main focus areas. Recent trends emphasize “COVID- 19” and “meaning in life”. Our study emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of life satisfaction research in adolescents and underlines the focus on protective factors for life satisfaction.
