There were 67(46.5%) studies in which male and female participated, female-focused were 64(44.5%), and male-focused were 13(9.0%). Regarding research method, quantitative were 110(76.3%), qualitative were 31(21.5%) and mixed method were 3(2.1%). Research topics were primarily related to ‘Psychological Health’ and ‘Relationship(family),’ while ‘Relationship(others)’ and ‘Meaning in life’ were scarce.
