Expanding Sources of Recognition: Towards an Experience-Driven Framework for Reengaging Hikikomori and Semi-hikikomori.

Hikikomori, also known as young people with prolonged social withdrawal behaviours (YPSW), is a pronounced and growing youth issue. The aims of the present study were to (1) introduce an experience-driven (ED) framework informed by recognition theory and the expanded notion of work model, and (2) ex...

      ab: Hikikomori, also known as young people with prolonged social withdrawal behaviours (YPSW), is a pronounced and growing youth issue. The aims of the present study were to (1) introduce an experience-driven (ED) framework informed by recognition theory and the expanded notion of work model, and (2) examine how the ED framework can add value to interpreting the vulnerabilities of hikikomori/semi-hikikomori, and to strengthening the delivery of reengagement interventions. Six participants were purposively selected based on the stages of their user journey in a Regain Momentum Program, namely early, intermediate, and final stages of user journey. With the use of thematic analysis, the study thoroughly examined six transcripts collected from post-intervention individual interviews. The results showed that hikikomori/semi-hikikomori are deprived of self- and social recognition due to a lack of a socially recognized status and paid work experiences. Applying the ED framework, social workers were capable of facilitating hikikomori/semi-hikikomori to leave their comfort zone, enter a secured comfort zone, rebuild connections, enhance self-efficacy, and care for non-human beings through providing interest- and work-based activities. The study provides empirical evidence to elaborate how the ED framework can inform future practice and research on reengaging hikikomori/semi-hikikomori.
