“…The results of this regression analysis have significant implications for understanding how different variables are interrelated and how they can affect each other. The findings suggest that people who use social media extensively may experience a greater sense of missing out on important information or social experiences, which is consistent with the popular concept of FOMO (Eitan & Gazit, 2023;Li et al, 2022;Opsenica Kostić et al, 2022;Roberts & David, 2020;Tandon et al, 2022). This finding also supports the notion that social media significantly shapes individual intentions and behavior, which aligns with previous research and the theory of planned behavior.…”

“…These issues include, but are not limited to, excessive social comparison and feedback-seeking, high levels of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), and heightened levels of anxiety and depression. These concerns have been documented in various research studies (Eitan & Gazit, 2023;Li et al, 2022;Opsenica Kostić et al, 2022;Roberts & David, 2020;Tandon et al, 2022).

The study explores the relationships between social media intensity, FoMO, visit intention, and potential mediation and moderation effects of perceived distance. 186 Muslim women were involved in the study, and the data were analyzed using moderation-mediation procedures. The results reveal a substantial positive correlation between the intensity of social media use and FoMO, indicating that an increased investment of time in social media corresponds to increased FoMO levels among respondents. Moreover, a robust positive correlation was identified between the intensity of social media use and respondents' intention to visit a place and FoMO's intention to visit. The results of this research study also reveal the mediating role of FoMO and moderating perceived distance on the relationship between social media intensity and visit intention. Public interest statement The study uncovers that FoMO significantly motivates the intention to visit the place. Further scrutiny indicates that social media intensity indirectly influences the intention to visit through FoMO, revealing mediation effects. The research sets the stage for subsequent investigations aimed at a deeper understanding of the roles played by social media and FoMO in shaping tourism intentions

“…Insecure attachment is linked to more frequent use of social media. In contrast, attachment avoidance makes people refrain from social interactions and use of social media unless they are high in attachment anxiety (Kostić et al , 2022). SMEs relieve distress, but their overuse leads to an iterative loop of unpleasant situations: avoidant coping and social isolation, addictive use and depression and anxiety (Hunter and Taylor, 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to understand the association between the fear of missing out (FOMO) and its impact on psychological well-being (PWB). The mediating effect of anxiety and moderating effects of social media engagement (SME) and resilience on the association mentioned above are also examined. Design/methodology/approach The study used a mix of attachment theory and cognitive-motivational-relational theory to understand the hypothesized relationship using a diverse sample of international respondents from South Asia, South East Asia and the Middle East. The data from 612 respondents was collected using SurveyMonkey. The authors have used Hayes’ PROCESS Macro to test the hypothesised relationships. Findings The results revealed that anxiety acts as a mediator between FOMO and PWB, while SME and resilience act as moderators in reducing the impact of FOMO on anxiety and the impact of anxiety on PWB, respectively. Originality/value The work extends the existing theorization and points out the merits of using SME and resilience as moderators and anxiety as a mediator for understanding the association between FOMO and PWB.

“…(16) Likewise, other studies explain that FoMO mediates a person's mental health, particularly in feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression, influencing emotional well-being, sleep quality, and alcohol consumption. (17) FoMO has been correlated with various health problems, such as sleep disorders, (18) depression, (19,20) psychological distress, (21,22) loneliness , (23,24) problematic use of social networks, (25,26,27) problematic use of smartphones, (28,29) self-esteem issues, (30) eating disorders, (31) and drinking issues, (32) among others. The psychometric properties of the FoMO scale have been studied and validated in populations from several countries, such as Turkey, (11,33) African Americans in the U.S.A., (34) China, (35,36) Indonesia, (37,38) Peru, (39) and Italy.…”

Introduction: Social networks can harm university students' mental health; therefore, it is urgent to have valid instruments to measure new phenomena such as FoMO. Objective: This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOs) in a sample of Chilean university students. Methods: Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were carried out and estimated using the Weighted Leasts Square Means and Variance (WLSMV). Results: The FoMOs evaluation had an internal consistency of 0.863 (Cronbach's Alpha). The con-firmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed two factors and good indicators: CFI = 0.991, TLI = 0.987, and an RMSEA of 0.054. Conclusion: The FoMOs is a good instrument for measuring the fear of missing out in the Chilean University population.
