Since its formation as a formalized stream of inquiry in the Asian continent in the late 1990s, positive psychology has inspired considerable research and theories on human advancement worldwide. Given the scarcity of comprehensive summaries in the existing literature, this systematic review, supported by empirical evidence, aims to present a methodical overview of qualitative and quantitative knowledge on positive psychology literacy. Subsequently, this study presents a systematic review of the prevalence of positive psychology in scientific research around the Asian continent, and this is followed by the application of Bibliometric analysis in identifying the most important articles, authors, journals, themes, and countries, thereby leading to the determination of the widespread impact and contribution of positive psychology across fields of research in paving new directions. This study presents a systematic review of (1) the prevalence of positive psychology in scientific research around the Asian continent, (2) a Bibliometric analysis was used to identify the most important articles, authors, journals, themes, and countries, and (3) the impact of positive psychology on spreading established fields of research in new directions. Thus, the present review aims to map positive psychology research in Asia by examining 657 peer-reviewed publications. Furthermore, this study addresses the pertinent field criticism, validating certain claims and dispelling others. Finally, the present study would assist regulators, academic scholars, and policymakers in understanding the current positive psychology perspective, its trends, and the relevant areas that require further investigation.
