ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze research trends related to psychological trauma in South Korea to identify upward and downward topics. A topic modeling analysis was conducted for 199 articles published from 1996 to 2016. The number of articles on trauma increased in 2008, 2011, and 2014 and those published between 2014 and 2016 covered 55.78% of the total because of Sewol ferry disaster. Based on the topic modeling analysis, 39 key topics were identified and categorized into 15 mid-range topics and 5 high-range topics. Hot topics were found to be ‘major psychological symptoms following various types of traumatic events’ and ‘psycho-social intervention for trauma’, while cold topics were ‘biopsychosocial mechanism of PTSD’ and ‘trauma narrative’. Implications and limitations of this study were discussed based on the results, along with the directions for future research on trauma.
