“…In addition, negative feelings and distress also make individuals vulnerable to experiencing fear of missing out. This ICoPsy is in line with research conducted by [24] which explains that individuals with high fear of missing out scores feel their weak social support so that their basic psychological needs cannot be met, thus making them divert their feelings of isolation by pursuing information or moments. on social media.…”

Final year students often face difficulties such as working on repeated thesis revisions, getting relevant literature, length of feedback from supervisors, and limited research time. Those who use social media tend to experience Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mindfulness and FoMO in final year undergraduate students. This study used a correlational quantitative approach. Research participants consisted of 126 final year undergraduate students using purposive sampling. For data collection, two instruments were used: Mindfulness Scale (.847) and Fear of Missing Out Scale (.829). The data were analyzed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between mindfulness and FoMO in final year students (Sig. .000 < .05). In addition, the direction of the relationship between the variables was negative (-.308), meaning that the relationship between the two variables was in negative correlation. This means that if the individual had a high state of mindfulness, the tendency to experience FoMO was low. In contrast, if the individual had a low state of mindfulness, then his/her tendency to experience FoMO was high.

“…This causes more intensive usage of social networking sites (Gezgin et al, 2018). People with high levels of FoMO may pay more attention to the moods of other people that they have positive social interactions with (Dou et al, 2021) and may show a higher need for approval. This leads to more use of social media among these people (Alt & Boniel-Nissim, 2018).…”

This study examines the mediating role of social media usage habits in the relationship between FoMO and nomophobia. 457 people were recruited to participate in the study. While 177 of them were male, the remaining 280 participants were female, and the participants' age ranged between 18 and 70. The average age of the participants was calculated as 30.81. The research hypotheses were tested by hierarchical regression analysis. In addition, the significance of the mediator variable was examined via Bootstrapping analysis. First, Pearson productmoment correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between variables, and it was found that there was a positive significant relationship between variables. The subsequent hierarchical regression analysis determined that social media usage habits played a partial mediating role in the relationship between FoMO and nomophobia. All findings were discussed in the light of similar research studies in the existing literature, and several suggestions were provided in the end.

“…For example, Wang et al [ 7 ] used it to test the relation between the need to belong and authentic self-presentation on SNSs, and indicated that FoMO mediated the association between the need to belong and adolescent authentic self-presentation on SNSs. Dou et al [ 8 ] employed the FoMO moderated mediation model to explore the relationship between perceived social support and FoMO. They concluded that perceived social support was negatively associated with FoMO, and psychological needs partially mediated the relationship between perceived social support and FoMO.…”

We could view the phenomenon of fear of missing out (FoMO) as a dilemma of too many choices about social media. Although there are already various studies on FoMO, there is still a lack of studies on what personality traits concerning media use decisions will contribute to FoMO or how FoMO mediates these personality traits and people’s social media use behavior, and, thus, corresponding negative emotions. This study explored the causes of FoMO in a FoMO moderated mediation model using maximizing tendency before the choice was made, social comparison orientation when making choices, and regrets tendency after the choice was made. The results showed that (1) there is a non-significant influence between maximizing tendency and FoMO, (2) regret tendency is a positive influence on FoMO, (3) social comparison orientation is a positive influence on FoMO, (4) FoMO is a positive influence on the compulsive use of social media and surveillance use of social media, (5) FoMO exhibited a full mediating effect on the relationship between regret tendency and social media surveillance use, (6) FoMO exhibited a full mediating effect on the relationship between social comparison orientation and social media compulsive use.
