The Japanese term was first used to describe prolonged social withdrawal in the 1990s. Since then, research across the world have reported similar prolonged social withdrawal in many countries outside Japan. This study systematically analyses the evolution of literature on in the past 20 years to gain a better understanding of the development of the knowledge base on since it garnered attention in Japan. Findings from the scientometric review indicate many perspectives on the etiology of including cultural, attachment, family systems and sociological approaches. However, similarities with modern type depression, a novel psychiatric syndrome, have been proposed and there are signs of a recent paradigm shift of as a society-bound syndrome rather than a cultural-bound syndrome unique to Japan. As research into continues to grow, results from the review also highlight the need for a more universally shared definition of in order to better consolidate cross-cultural research for meaningful and valid cross-cultural comparisons which can help to promote evidence-based therapeutic interventions for .
“蛰居”一词最初于 20 世纪 90 年代被用来描述日本社会中人们长期回避社交的现象。自此之后，世界各地的研究报告显示，在日本以外的许多国家也存在类似的长期回避社交现象。本研究系统地分析了过去 20 年来有关“蛰居”的文献演变，以更好地了解自“蛰居”在日本受到关注以来，其相关知识库的发展情况。该文献计量学综述的研究结果表明，对于“蛰居”的病因有多种观点，包括文化、依恋、家庭系统和社会学方法。然而，也有人提出它与现代抑郁症有相似之处，这是一种新的精神科综合征，并且有迹象表明，“蛰居”正从一种具有社会局限性的综合征向一种不仅仅局限于日本的文化相关综合征转变。随着对“蛰居”的研究不断深入，该综述的研究结果还强调了需要对“蛰居”进行更普遍接受的定义，以便更好地整合跨文化研究，从而进行有意义和有效的跨文化比较，促进针对“蛰居”的循证治疗干预措施。
