Özet

Fear of happiness, a pervasive issue particularly in Western societies, adversely affects individuals' mental health and is closely linked to significant life outcomes. As an emerging research area, the limited number of studies on this phenomenon underscores the need for a comprehensive literature review to enhance understanding of its nature, effects, and mental health implications, while identifying gaps for future research. This study aims to systematically analyze existing literature on fear of happiness. A systematic review was conducted, synthesizing findings from published articles based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, using content analysis and adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. As of October 19, 2024, searches across PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Sage Journals, and TR Index databases identified 224 articles, with 23 meeting the inclusion criteria. These studies were evaluated based on publication year, research location, objectives, sample characteristics, measurement tools, and findings, revealing considerable variability across these parameters.
