In this study, a bibliometric analysis was made, by reviewing the Peruvian journal of psychology in order to value the reception of Positive Psychology by Peruvian psychologists. We reviewed ten psychological journals edited in Peru, according to our inclusion criteria, and we detected 1,701 works published, of which, 1,138 were signed by Peruvian psychologists. Only 35 works correspond to Positive Psychology, which represent the 3,7 % of the publications made by Peruvian psychologists. From these documents, the 45,2 % were bibliographical works (books reviews, theoretical papers and a comment), while 54,28 % were empirical research, being the correlational method the most used in the papers published, before the comparative, descriptive and predictive.

Keywords : Positive psychology; bibliometry; journals of psychology; peruvian psychology.
