Youth social withdrawal behavior (hikikomori): A systematic review of qualitative and quantitative studies by Tim MH Li and Paul WC Wong
Abstract
Objective: Acute
and/or severe social withdrawal behavior among youth was seen as a
culture-bound psychiatric syndrome in Japan, but
more youth social withdrawal cases in different
countries have been discovered recently. However, due to the lack of a
formal
definition and diagnostic tool for youth social
withdrawal, cross-cultural observational and intervention studies are
limited.
We aimed to consolidate existing knowledge in
order to understand youth social withdrawal from diverse perspectives
and suggest
different interventions for different
trajectories of youth social withdrawal.
Method: This review
examined the current available scientific information on youth social
withdrawal in the academic databases: ProQuest,
ScienceDirect, Web of Science and PubMed. We
included quantitative and qualitative studies of socially withdrawn
youths published
in English and academic peer-reviewed journals.
Results: We
synthesized the information into the following categories: (1)
definitions of youth social withdrawal, (2) developmental
theories, (3) factors associated with youth
social withdrawal and (4) interventions for socially withdrawn youths.
Accordingly,
there are diverse and controversial definitions
for youth social withdrawal. Studies of youth social withdrawal are
based
on models that lead to quite different
conclusions. Researchers with an attachment perspective view youth
social withdrawal
as a negative phenomenon, whereas those who
adopt Erikson’s developmental theory view it more positively as a
process of seeking
self-knowledge. Different interventions for
socially withdrawn youths have been developed, mainly in Japan, but
evidence-based
practice is almost non-existent.
Conclusion: We propose
a theoretical framework that views youth social withdrawal as resulting
from the interplay between psychological,
social and behavioral factors. Future validation
of the framework will help drive forward advances in theory and
interventions
for youth social withdrawal as an emerging issue
in developed countries.
