Este síndrome está siendo más estudiado desde la psicología; sin embargo las investigaciones incluyen los efectos que sobre este sector de la población tienen los cambios sociales que permean la sociedad japonesa de hoy. Elementos culturales, como la pertenencia al grupo, el honor y el éxito, contribuyen a crear un ambiente más complejo para la realización de los jóvenes, generando un sentimiento de frustración. En aras de no ser criticado o cuestionado sobre su desempeño, se aíslan. Es relevante hacer aquí una revisión de los estudios más conocidos sobre el tema, así como los factores culturales de Japón y las acciones emprendidas por el gobierno; considerando que este fenómeno no es exclusivo de la sociedad japonesa y que dadas las presiones sociales y la falta de oportunidades en la sociedad global actual, representa hoy un riesgo para la juventud en general.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Hikikomori identifies both a phenomenon and a person who tends to socially isolate. It primarily affects adolescents or young people who lock themselves in their rooms for six or more months. This syndrome is being studied more from the psychology approach; nevertheless research includes the impact that social changes have had on Japanese youth today. Cultural elements, such as belonging to the group, honor, and success, contribute to create a more complex environment for the realization of young people, causing a feeling of frustration. Young people, in order not to be criticized or questioned about their performance, they rather isolate. It is important to review the most well-known studies on the subject, as well as the cultural factors of Japan and the actions undertaken by the Government; considering that this phenomenon is not exclusive to Japanese society and that given the social pressures and lack of opportunities in today&#8217;s global society, it represents a risk for youth in general.]]></p></abstract>
