Self-esteem is a positive state of mind that enables adolescents to see themselves as valuable, successful, and worthy of love. Adolescents with high self-esteem exhibit greater self-confidence, enhanced social adaptability, and higher levels of happiness and success. While numerous studies examine self-esteem among typical adolescents, research on self-esteem in gifted adolescents still needs to be completed. This study aims to systematically analyze studies on self-esteem in gifted adolescents, examining their bibliometric characteristics. Accordingly, a literature search was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases from April 2023 to August 2024 using the keywords “Self-esteem,” “Gifted,” and “Adolescent,” and a sample of 10 studies was selected based on sampling criteria. The review was performed using document analysis and bibliometric mapping techniques. Findings indicate that all selected studies utilized quantitative research methods and identified self-esteem as an important factor influencing the mental health of gifted adolescents. The bibliometric analysis revealed that most studies were conducted in France, with the most frequently cited study being by Foley-Nipcon et al. (2012), published in the journal L’Encéphale. The impact of self-esteem on the mental health of gifted adolescents and the factors influencing self-esteem in this population remain relevant research areas.
