“…Supporting this, studies have found that people who experience FoMO to a greater extent report more negative affectivity (Elhai et al, 2018, 2020b). However, evidence for the relationship between FoMO and positive affect has been more limited and inconclusive (Li et al, 2020; Milyavskaya et al, 2018; Riordan et al, 2021).…”

With modern societies becoming ever-increasingly interconnected due to technology and media, we have gained unprecedented access and exposure to other people’s lives. This has resulted in a greater desire to constantly be socially connected with the activities of others, or the fear of missing out (FoMO). While much of the present available research has established the association between FoMO and diminished emotional well-being, little has been done to identify protective factors that can help one cope with the negative psychological consequences of FoMO. Utilizing data from a 7-day diary study of a large sample of young adults ( N = 261), the current study aimed to examine the moderating role of cognitive reappraisal in attenuating diminished emotional well-being associated with FoMO. Multilevel modeling showed that cognitive reappraisal attenuated the day-to-day within-person associations between daily FoMO and indicators of daily emotional well-being such as negative affectivity, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

“…It can be further speculated that for those young individuals with high FoMO, who satisfy their needs of relatedness by messaging, posting, and browsing on social media might increase affective-well-being and reduce loneliness. Preliminary evidence among young adults suggests that FoMO moderated the relationship between social media use and negative affect (Riordan et al, 2021). Moreover, among adolescents (aged 11–19) with high levels of FoMO, general social media use was positively related to subjective well-being (Chai et al, 2019).…”

Employing a mobile experience sampling design, we investigated in the present study how different types of mobile social media use relate to young individuals’ momentary affective well-being and momentary loneliness. We differentiated between three types of social media use: Messaging, posting, and browsing. Moreover, we studied fear of missing out (FoMO) as a moderating variable. We collected data from 79 middle and late adolescents ( M age = 17.55 years, SD = 1.29; 59% girls) yielding 956 momentary assessments. The results showed that messaging and posting were positively related to affective well-being, while browsing was associated with higher levels of loneliness. Furthermore, some of the relations between social media use, affective well-being, and loneliness were also moderated by FoMO. Our results highlight the need to differentiate between different types of social media use, to include individual predispositions, and to apply methods that account for daily fluctuations in psychological well-being when studying the complex relationship between youth’s mobile social media use and well-being.

This study examined the sleep pattern of Hong Kong residents during the anti-extradition bill controversy from June to December of 2019. We used crowdsourced sleep data of 5,442,005 sleep records from 76,600 users (15,693 records from 274 users who were Hong Kong residents at the time of the study, mean age 33.3, SD 9.6). A total of 123 participants (44.9%) provided at least 30 days of data. We compared these sleep parameters in Year 2019 to their expected values. The expected value of these variables was computed using linear regression, controlling for time zone, the month of the record, and the day of the record (S/M/T/W/T/F/S). At the nights of major protest events, habitual sleep duration of the participants was reduced by 8 to 23 min and delayed their sleep onset by at most 34 min. Date-specific analysis (12th June, 21st July, 31st August, 1st October, 12th November, 23rd November, and 24th November) revealed Hong Kong residents changed their sleep pattern according to the timeline of the protests.
