Abstract

A sample survey of 2190 undergraduates from 25 provinces in mainland China shows that 1,272 undergraduates consider themselves "homebodies". Taking 1,272 "homebodies" as analysis objects, this paper studies the status and behavior characteristics of "homebody" of undergraduates. According to the survey data, the "homebody" of undergraduates presents the characteristics of staying at home for a long time without going out of the house; the reason of "homebody" is mainly individual subjective quality. According to the principal component analysis, the behavior of "homebody" of undergraduates is classified into three behaviors, namely, staying indoors, visual hobbies and activities, and negative health, and the characteristics of "homebody" behavior statistically analyzed in the variables. In order to improve the "homebody" behavior of undergraduates more effectively, this paper puts forward some suggestions from the personal level, the family level and the school level.
