“…The correlation coefficient between FoMO and smartphone addiction (r = 0.42) was similar to study samples from other countries (ranging from 0.40 to 0.60) (11,18,(90)(91)(92). This indicates that the impact of FoMO and excessive smartphone use are arguably ubiquitous in the global context (93)(94)(95)(96)(97).…”

Background and Aims: The widespread use of social media on smartphones has lead to the fear of missing out (FoMO) and smartphone addiction among a minority of adolescents and adults. However, few studies have investigated the impact of trait affect on sleep quality via FoMO and smartphone addiction. The present study examined whether FoMO (trait-FoMO and state-FoMO) and smartphone addiction mediated the relationship between positive affect (PA)/negative affect (NA) and sleep quality, and the prevalence of sleep disturbance among Chinese university students.

“…FOMO is a known psychological trait individuals experience, whereby they worry that their friends or family are enjoying rewarding experiences in their absence (Long et al, 2019;Przybylski et al, 2013). FOMO is an individual's feeling of dismay that other people are having a more rewarding and fulfilling experience that they are unavailable for (Przybylski et al, 2013).…”

Individ uals’ psychological behaviors and fear of missing out are affected by the global pandemic. This study investigates how individual “Big Five” personality traits influence fear of missing out leading to social media fatigue, the impact of social media fatigue on social media fatigue behavior during the COVID-19 lockdown. As a result, this study proposes and develops a model using the structural equation modelling for data obtained from young adults in the South-Western region of Nigeria. Results show the impact of openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion emotional instability was positively significant towards fear of missing out over the use of social media during COVID-19, whereas the effect of agreeableness and emotional stability were insignificant towards fear of missing out over the use of social media during COVID-19. In addition, the impact of the fear of missing out on social media fatigue influences social media fatigue behavior. Theoretical and managerial implications for “Big Five” personality traits, fear of missing out, social media fatigue, and social media behaviors are provided.

“…Another study indicated that envy was positively related to PSU, with FoMO mediating this relationship (Wang et al, 2019b). Moreover, another study shows that people who score high in FoMO are more prone to check the notifications on their smartphone, as well as to update their social media profile and status because they want to be part of the online community, which behaviour may result in developing the risk of PSU (Long, Wang, Liu, & Lei, 2019). Consequently, they may develop an addictive PSU behaviour due to an almost compulsive use of such communication tools.…”

Problematic smartphone use (PSU), which involves an excessive and uncontrolled use of smartphones, thereby causing daily-life disturbance, has been associated with a range of negative outcomes including anxiety, depression, and deficits in social relationships. However, the relationship between PSU and maximization, which could be an explanatory factor, has not yet been thoroughly studied. Drawing on the Interaction-Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model, the current study aimed to investigate the association between PSU and maximization with the assumption that fear of missing out (FoMO) and self-esteem could mediate this relationship. Empirical data were gathered from 277 Italian university students who completed an online survey. Correlation analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to investigate the relationships among the variables. The results showed that PSU, maximization, and FoMO were positively correlated; whereas maximization and self-esteem were negatively correlated. Furthermore, FoMO and self-esteem partially mediated that relationship, suggesting that participant maximizers experience more FoMO, especially when the participants have fear of missing out on potentially “better” alternatives to social experiences and exhibit low self-esteem. Thus, higher FoMO and low self-esteem can be a driver of PSU. Finally, this study provides new insights about how maximization may have an impact on the development of addictive behaviour such as PSU.
