Dokuo

A psychological perspective on Hong Kong's “Dokuo”
=== A research on Hong Kong's adolescent suggested that males are more frequently reporting loneliness than females do ,and that social support from peers is nearly 60% more often than supportive adult (e.g. parents). ===

=== As dokuo lack social support, their loneliness is featured by ===
 * 1) Low intimacy disclosure  and fear of intimacy
 * 2) Negative outlook towards the world, and human nature
 * 3) Low interpersonal trust (Rotenberg, 1994) which is the most important and satisfying manifestation within a relationship (Holmes & Rempel, 1989)

=== The heightened loneliness of Hong Kong's dokuo, can be due to ===
 * 1) small social network size
 * 2) few people (friends, family members,etc) satisfying their interpersonal needs
 * 3) fear of disclosing their thoughts to others and criticizing responses
 * 4) insufficient social skills to express their needs with others
