Hikikomori is a Japanese term for social withdrawal, ranging from complete inability to venture outdoors to preferring to stay inside. The prevalence of hikikomori is high, up to 1.2% of the Japanese population, but only few studies have examined its emergence in adolescents. Therefore, we sought to identify environmental and psycho-behavioral characteristics related to hikikomori during adolescence. Parents of middle school students who underwent psychiatric outpatient treatment for hikikomori (n = 20) and control group parents (n = 88) completed the Child Behavior Checklist to evaluate their child's psycho-behavioral characteristics and novel scales to evaluate environmental characteristics and hikikomori severity. Scores for all eight Child Behavior Checklist subscales were significantly higher in the experimental group. Multiple regression analysis revealed that "anxious/depressed," "somatic complaints," "lack of communication between parents" and "overuse of the Internet" were significant predictors of hikikomori severity. These findings can help identify individuals who are at risk of developing hikikomori.
蛰居族是一个日语术语，指的是社交退缩，范围从完全无法冒险外出到喜欢待在室内。蛰居族的患病率很高，高达日本人口的 1.2%，但只有少数研究检查了其在青少年中的出现。因此，我们试图确定与青少年时期蛰居有关的环境和心理行为特征。接受过蛰居症精神科门诊治疗的中学生的父母（n=20）和对照组父母（n=88）完成了儿童行为检查表，以评估他们孩子的心理行为特征和新的量表，以评估环境特征和蛰居症严重程度。实验组所有八项儿童行为检查表子量表的得分都明显较高。多元回归分析显示，“焦虑/抑郁”、“躯体抱怨”、“父母之间缺乏沟通”和“过度使用互联网”是蛰居症严重程度的显著预测因子。这些发现可以帮助识别有发展为蛰居症风险的个体。
