Although Instagram is widely used among young people, it has only recently caught researchers' attention. Following the perspective of the I-PACE model, the present study examined the relationship between neuroticism and problematic Instagram use (PIU) in Italian university students who had an Instagram account. We assumed that the relationship between neuroticism and PIU could be explained by direct and indirect paths, passing through Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and motives for Instagram use. 362 Instagram users (72.1% female; M
age = 25.35, SD = 4.25) filled out a questionnaire assessing demographics, Instagram use features, Neuroticism, Problematic Instagram use, FoMO, and Motivations for Using Instagram. Results showed that neuroticism affected PIU only indirectly through FoMO, escapism and self-expression motives. Additionally, FoMO promoted higher levels of escapism and self-expression motives, increasing participants' risk of PIU. This is the first study testing the mediating role of motives for using Instagram between personality predisposing factors and PIU. The findings provide new insights into the relationship between the factors that may promote PIU and have important clinical implications. These include the possibility for practitioners to prevent PIU more easily by acting on users' motivations and cognitions, such as escapism, self-expession and FoMO, rather than working on predisposing personality factors, that are usually more stable over time.

Cyber-slacking interrupts classroom teaching and learning activities and is associated with poor academic performance. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study aimed to investigate whether both cognitive (i.e., attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control) and affective (i.e., fear of missing out [FoMO]) factors contribute to classroom cyber-slacking intention and behavior among Chinese university students. We recruited a convenience sample of 431 undergraduate students (M = 19.34, SD = 1.08; 66.4% female; 33.6% male) from mainland China who completed an online survey (i.e., items measured cognitive factors of cyber-slacking, cyber-slacking behavior, FoMO, and demographic information). The findings of correlational, hierarchical multiple regression, and path analysis with bootstrapping approach showed that both cognitive and affective factors were positive correlates of cyber-slacking intention and behavior and explained the variance in cyber-slacking intention. Moreover, attitudes, perceived norms, perceived behavioral control, and FoMO had statistically significant indirect effects (via intention) on cyber-slacking behaviors, whereas perceived behavioral control alone has a direct impact on cyber-slacking behaviors. The findings not only lend more credence to TPB, suggesting that cognitive factors are reliable correlates of both classroom cyber-slacking intention and behavior, but also showed affective factors, such as FoMO, can be used to reduce students' cyber-slacking intention and, subsequently, their behavior. Based on these findings, interventions for reducing classroom cyber-slacking are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While people enjoy the convenience that smartphone bring (eg, accessing information and socializing), it also leads to problematic smartphone use (eg, phubbing). Previous research has shown that boredom proneness can trigger phubbing. However, the underlying psychological mechanisms are not yet clear.Methods: To address this research gap, we surveyed 556 Chinese college students (Mage = 18.89 years, SD = 1.18) during the COVID-19 pandemic and all participants completed a self-report questionnaire. Drawing the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution model (I-PACE) for addictive behaviors, this study developed and examined a multiple mediation model incorporating boredom proneness, loneliness, fear of missing out (FoMO), and phubbing.Results: (1) Boredom proneness could positively predict phubbing; (2) loneliness and FoMO mediated the relationship between boredom proneness and phubbing, respectively; and (3) loneliness and FoMO sequentially mediated the relationship between boredom proneness and phubbing.Conclusion: These findings are not only valuable for understanding the underlying mechanisms linking boredom proneness and phubbing, but also suggest that three types of interventions could be effectively used to decrease the risk of phubbing among college students, namely, reducing boredom proneness, relieving loneliness, and decreasing FoMO.Keywords: boredom proneness, loneliness, FoMO, phubbing, multiple mediation model, college students

Online vulnerability is defined as the potential exposure to experiences that harm one’s psychological and physical well-being because of participation in online activities. Such experience can cause a decrease in selfworth and lead to the appearance of emotional issues. The purpose of this study was to propose an explanatory model for online vulnerability among Peruvian university students. This study follows an explanatory design with observable variables. The participants 219 intentionally chosen Peruvian university students, most of them women (62.6%), whose ages ranged between 17 and 28 years old, all of whom are studying at a private university in Metropolitan Lima. It was identified that FoMO, Facebook addiction and loneliness have direct effects on online vulnerability, while age has indirect effects on this variable (R2 = .486 Δβ = 0.01). These findings corroborate the theoretical assumptions that hold that inappropriate behaviors linked to technology respond to inadequate satisfaction of the basic psychological needs of competence, autonomy and belonging.

With the development of technology, there are situations such as the desire to follow the events in virtual environments and the fear of missing out. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between university students' social media addiction levels and FOMO. This descriptive-specific study was conducted with the participation of 400 students studying at a state university between March-July 2022. The descriptive features question form, social media addiction scale and fear of missing developments in social environments were used. 76.8% of the university students participating in the study are between the ages of 18-21, 63.8% are women, 39% are studying in the health-related department, and 58.7% are living with their families. 23 %of the students stated that they were connected to the internet for more than 10 hours and that 34.3 %thought they were social media addicts. It has been determined that there is a positive and moderate relationship between the total scores obtained from the scales of social media addiction and social media addiction and the score of all sub -dimensions. The time spent on the Internet, the duration of use and the devices used affect social media addiction and the level of FOMO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the increase in smartphone use, smartphone addiction has gained immense popularity and there has been a lot of research into smartphone addiction. Nonetheless, research examining the complex relationships between cyberloafing and smartphone addiction is still insufficient. Thus, the present study aims to establish the mediating role of fear of missing out, which is a cognitive and emotional process, in the effect of university students' level of cyberloafing upon their smartphone addiction level. The study group of the research is represented by 338 students receiving formation training in the faculty of education, at a state university. For the purpose of data collection, the Smartphone Addiction Scale - Short version, the Cyberloafing Scale, and the Fear of Missing Out Scale were used. The model was tested using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping. Structural equation modeling results provide evidence of indirect effects of cyberloafing on smartphone addiction partial mediated by fear of missing out. According to the Bootstrapping method, fear of missing out has an indirectly significant role in the relationship between cyberloafing and smartphone addiction. The findings emphasized the role of fear of missing out in explaining the relationship between cyberloafing and smartphone addiction. The study concludes by discussing relevant conclusions in the literature, and putting forth several recommendations based on these conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study gives voice to non‐drinkers and moderate drinkers who go against the drinking norm on college campuses. It aims for greater insights so that colleges and universities can change the prevailing drinking culture and empower non‐drinkers. Qualitative interviews with 34 US college students explored their experiences as non‐drinkers to answer research questions that centered upon the decision to be a non‐drinker, the emotional toll of being an outlier, the impact on relationships, and strategies for navigating the drinking culture. Universities have made good faith efforts to reduce the incidence of drinking on campus through social marketing campaigns. However, most were aimed at drinkers—not non‐drinkers—and achieved limited results. Given the pressure on non‐drinkers, public policy questions arise concerning ways to provide stronger support for students, who manage to stay sober against the odds. This study argues for new approaches to help non‐drinkers navigate the drinking culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the level of fear of missing out (FoMO) for university students. There are many studies aiming to determine the FoMO levels of adolescents, youth and university students. However, a new scale was needed since the scales used in these studies were the adapted versions, and involved cultural differences that may lead to prejudice. 21-item pool was generated for the draft scale and applied to 343 university students. The exploratory factor analysis and parallel analysis carried out on the data, and a two-dimensional structure was formed (KMO= 0.89, Bartlett sphericity test= 0.00< 0.05). The variance explained by two factors together is 50.86%. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on a new data composed of 283 university students. The results showed that FoMO Scale is valid and reliable at a good level ( x²/ df = 2.12, CFI= 0.95, RMSEA= 0.06, Cronbach‘s alpha= 0.88). There was a moderate correlation between the factors (r= 0.48). The FoMO Scale; consists of 17 items in total, of which private factor has 9 items and the social factor has 8 items. The scale is basically worthwhile and unique in that it is theoretically inclusive and includes different concepts (regret of decision making etc.) and emotions (feel lost, feel deeply lonely, feel an inner guilt, eat one's heart out, and feel embarrassed) that define FoMO. The scale could be used by researchers as an efficient instrument to measure the FoMO levels of youth, as well as enabling the individuals to recognize the FoMO and go into action. Additionally, validity and reliability studies could be carried out by applying the scale at different education levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Fear of missing out (FoMO) can increase loneliness and smartphone addiction and decrease academic performance in university students. Most studies investigated the relationship between FoMO and smartphone addiction in developed countries, and no studies were found to examine this association in Iran. The mediating role of loneliness and academic performance in the relationship between FoMO and smartphone addiction is unclear. This study investigated the relationship between FoMO and smartphone addiction and the mediating role of loneliness and academic performance in this relationship in Iranian university students. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 447 students from Urmia University of Medical Sciences were investigated. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, Przybylski's FoMO scale, Pham and Taylor's academic performance questionnaire, Russell's loneliness scale, and Kwon's smartphone addiction scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS ver. 23 and SmartPLS ver. 2. Results: FoMO had a positive and direct association with smartphone addiction (β = 0.315, t-value = 5.152, p < 0.01). FoMO also had a positive and direct association with students' loneliness (β = 0.432, t-value = 9.059, p < 0.01) and a negative and direct association with students' academic performance (β = -0.2602, t-value = 4.201, p < 0.01). FoMO indirectly associated with smartphone addiction through students' loneliness (β = 0.311, t-value = 5.075, p < 0.01), but academic performance was not mediator of smartphone addiction (β = 0.110, t-value = 1.807, p > 0.05). FoMO also indirectly correlated with academic performance through students' loneliness (β =—0.368, t-value = 6.377, p < 0.01). Conclusions: FoMO can be positively associated with students' smartphone addiction, and loneliness is an important mediator of this association. Since smartphone addiction could harm students' academic performance, thus, healthcare administrators should reduce students' loneliness and improve their academic performance by adopting practical strategies to help students to manage their time and control their smartphone use. Holding self-management skills classes, keeping students on schedule, turning off smartphone notifications, encouraging students to engage in sports, and participating in group and family activities will help manage FoMO and loneliness.

Previous research shows that perceived stress and social media use motivations (entertainment and escapism), are related to problematic smartphone use. However, little is known regarding the mediating factors underlying this relationship. The purpose of this study is to analyze the fear of missing out (FoMO) as a possible mediator between entertainment motivation, stress, and problematic smartphone use. We collected data with a survey of 370 students from a university in Turkey and tested the relationships. The results show that perceived stress and entertainment motivation (but not escapism motivation) are significantly related to FoMO and problematic smartphone use among Turkish university students. We also found that FoMO mediates the relationship of perceived stress and entertainment motivation with problematic smartphone use. Our study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the importance of FoMO and problematic smartphone use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FoMO, the fear of missing out, is a salient and significant experience with personal and relational consequences. This study qualitatively analyzed 35 interviews with iGen emerging adult college students about their experiences with FoMO. Framed by relational dialectics theory 2.0 (Baxter, L. A. (2011). Voicing relationships: A dialogic perspective. Sage), we found two relational-level contradictions, connection and disconnection and inclusion and exclusion, which are illuminated by the cultural-level interplay of the discourses of 'carpe diem' and 'investment in the future.' Findings indicate that through the discourse of carpe diem, participants attempt to increase the power awarded to relational and personal resources and expand what it means to invest in the future. Implications of these findings related to well-being and academic success are discussed and practical applications for institutions of higher education such as team-based learning and more holistic professional development programs are presented.

The role of fear of missing out (FoMO) in addictive behaviors has recently attracted growing attention. In view of negative effects of gaming disorder (GD) among adolescents and emerging adults, research examining the relationship between FoMO and GD is needed, alongside the roles of impulsivity and gender in the relationship between FoMO and GD. This study examined whether impulsivity as a mediator and gender as a moderator impacted on the relationship between FoMO and GD among a sample of Chinese university students. A sample of 1,288 Chinese university students from three universities completed an online survey through the Wenjuanxing platform. The Chinese Trait-State Fear of Missing Out Scale, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-Brief, and the Chinese Gaming Disorder Scale were used in this study. The model results indicated that impulsivity partially mediated the relationship between FoMO and GD, and that there was a larger effect size between impulsivity and GD among males. High levels of FoMO among individuals may impact on executive functions leading to more impulsivity, and are associated with GD. Gender may moderate the relationship between impulsivity and GD. This study deepens the understanding of the relationship between FoMO and GD, and provides new perspectives for practitioners to incorporate into health prevention programs to help regulate emotion, control impulsivity, and decrease GD.

Impulsive buying behavior is defined as sudden shopping without a plan or intention. FoMO is an apprehension when a person feels the deprivation of others' rewarding experience which is absent. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether variables on the research model affect students' impulsive buying and Fear of Missing Out. As a method of data collection, the face to face survey method was selected and applied to university students at Erzurum. For data analyzing the IBM SPSS packet program was used and multiple regression analyses were applied. With conducted analysis, family and friends' effect, credit card usage, promotions, and FoMO affect university students' impulsive buying behavior. For the FoMo the reached conclusion is that emotional situation, perceived scarcity, and promotions have an impact on FoMO for university students'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although prior research has found that receipt of social support through social networking sites is a significant predictor of Facebook addiction, the mechanism underlying this association remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the mediating roles of fear of missing out and problematic smartphone use in the relationship between these two variables in a Chinese context. Four hundred and sixty-five undergraduates participated in this study by completing measures of support received through online social networking sites, fear of missing out, problematic smartphone use, and addiction to Chinese social media. The results showed that fear of missing out and problematic smartphone use mediated the relationship between support through online social networking sites and addiction to such sites, both in series and in parallel. This might be among the first studies to elucidate the mechanism underlying the development of social media addiction from the perspective of online support. Although the cross-sectional design employed has several limitations, these findings offer a potential avenue of research in the development of strategies for the prevention of addiction to social networking sites and interventions for treating this affliction.

• Analysed the complex relationship between Facebook usage intensity, fear of missing out (FOMO), and depression. • Examined the moderated mediating effect. • Facebook usage behaviour among Korean university students. This study analysed the complex relationship between Facebook usage intensity, fear of missing out (FOMO), and depression. It examined the moderated mediating effect (conditional indirect effect) of Facebook usage intensity on FOMO-driven depression associated with Facebook usage behaviour among Korean university students. The study conducted an online questionnaire survey of 480 university students in Korea from 15 October to 5 November 2021. The results showed that 1) Facebook usage intensity has a statistically significant and positive impact on depression; 2) there was a partial mediating role of FOMO in the Facebook usage intensity and depression relationship along with the internal influence mechanism of Facebook usage intensity on depression; 3) the effect of Facebook usage behaviour positively moderated the relationship between Facebook usage intensity and FOMO; and 4) Facebook usage behaviour had a FOMO-based positive moderate mediating effect on the relationship between Facebook usage intensity and depression. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Facebook usage intensity, FOMO, depression, and Facebook usage behaviour among Korean university.

Emergent research suggests that "fear of missing out" (FoMO)-driven nocturnal use of social media may result in sleep disturbances and adversely influence quality of sleep. Previous research in this area primarily focused on adolescents. Therefore, knowledge of these occurrences in young adults is limited. This study addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the associations of FoMO, psychological well-being (anxiety, depression), compulsive social media use (CSMU), and sleep hygiene (habits that promote/inhibit sleep) with problematic sleep adults in both academic and employment settings. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted to collect data from two cohorts including (i) full-time students (N = 1398), and (ii) full-time working professionals (N = 472). Data were analyzed with structural equation modeling. The results indicated that psychological well-being influences CSMU, which in concurrence with sleep habits, influences the association between FoMO and problematic sleep. Significant differences existed in the strength of the association between CSMU and FoMO between the two cohorts. Interestingly, FoMO is more strongly associated with CSMU among working professionals. This study provides novel insights into the differential effects of CSMU and FoMO on sleep behaviors in young adult students versus working professionals. • This study examined the emergent issue of problematic sleep due to social media use. • tudied associations among "fear of missing out" (FoMO), psychological well-being, compulsive use, and sleep issues. • FoMO was an indirect predictor of problematic sleep in two cohorts of young adults. • Compulsive social media use and sleep hygiene exert differential mediational influences on problematic sleep. • Findings imply the need to create interventions to reduce deleterious impact of social media on sleep.

Introduction: The college years are characterized by psychosocial and biological phenomena that may impact mental health, such as heightened sensitivity to social stressors and compromises in sleep quantity and quality. The current study uses a biopsychosocial approach to examine the associations among interpersonal stress, Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), insomnia, and mental health. Methods: Survey data were collected from 283 undergraduate students (90% female) with a mean age of 21.4 years. A path analysis was utilized to test a mediational model linking interpersonal stress and FoMO with mental health through a mediator of insomnia. We hypothesized that higher levels of interpersonal stress and FoMO would be associated with higher levels of insomnia symptoms, which would in turn be associated with poorer mental health. Results: As predicted, insomnia partially mediated significant associations of interpersonal stress and FoMO with mental health. The association of interpersonal stress with insomnia and mental health was more robust than the association of FoMO with these variables. Conclusions: The pathway from interpersonal stress and/or FoMO, through insomnia, to compromises in mental health may be modifiable through behavioral interventions focusing on coping skills, sleep hygiene, and even technology-related habit changes. Recommendations to help disrupt this pathway, particularly among college students, are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital technologies, such as smartphones and tablets, can be useful in academic settings by allowing browsing for additional information, organizing the study process online, and facilitating communication between peers and instructors. On the other hand, several recent studies have shown that digital technology use can, in some circumstances, be negatively related to academic outcomes for some individuals. Fear of missing out (FOMO) could be one of these factors causing individual differences in how frequently people receive and react to interruptive notifications (INs). The aim of this study was to investigate how FOMO, the frequency of receiving INs, and stopping current activities due to INs, is associated with a surface approach to learning. Three hundred and sixteen U.S. university students responded to a web survey that included items regarding experiencing FOMO, the frequency of receiving INs and daily activity disruptions due to INs, and surface learning. Results showed that FOMO was associated with daily disrupted activities due to INs and surface learning, but not the frequency of receiving INs. Mediation analysis showed that the association between FOMO and surface learning was mediated by the frequency of daily disrupted activities due to INs. However, the nature of the sample somewhat restricts the generalizability of these results. The findings, their implications, and future directions are discussed. • FOMO relates to disrupted activities from receiving interruptive notifications (INs). • These constructs are also positively associated with surface approach to learning. • INs may be pivotal in the relation between FOMO and surface approach to learning.
