Hikikomori among young adults: examining the protective function of psychological resilience
The findings suggest that psychological resilience functions as a protective mechanism against social withdrawal among young adults. Strengthening resilience may therefore serve as an important target for preventive and therapeutic interventions. These results highlight the value of resilience-focused approaches within youth mental health policies and clinical practice.
