Theories of dual Processing: A sociobibliometric analysis (2003-2022)
Abstract
The dual processing theory posits that human reasoning is the result of the interaction between two distinct types of processing: one rapid and intuitive, and the other slower and more reflective. This study employs a bibliometric approach to analyze the evolution of this theory between 2003 and 2022. The methodology employed in this study is as follows: A bibliometric study was conducted using the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The data set comprises publications related to dual processing theory, spanning the period from 2003 to 2022. The results of the study are presented below. The analysis revealed a notable increase in the number of publications on dual theory. The most influential authors and major institutions were identified, with a particular focus on developments from countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and France. The predominant areas of research were on the scope of the theory in the explanation of reasoning in various dimensions, as well as its intersection with emotional, cognitive, and psychopathological phenomena. The results suggest that dual processing theory has gained popularity and has been consolidated in the scientific literature.
