Abstract :This study examined the studies conducted between 2010-2022 related to secondary school dyslexic students in Türkiye and discussed them in terms of content. In the current study, studies involving dyslexic students, their parents and teachers, and examining psychological processes of the participants, such as perception, attitude, quality of life, anxiety, depression, and coping skills, were included. The systematic review method was used in the study. A database search was carried out using the electronic database of Ondokuz Mayis University including ERIC, EBSCO, YOK Thesis Center, and Google Scholar. A total of 11 theses and 10 articles met the inclusion criteria. These studies were discussed under three categories based on the participant groups. Results of this study showed that there are limited studies on the psychological and social effects of dyslexia. We also found that research on dyslexia is mainly done with students in primary school and focuses more on academic skills. Our findings shows that further research planned from an interdisciplinary perspective is needed to better understand the psychosocial effects of dyslexia on students, parents, and school community.
