• Students’ Wellbeing, Fear of Missing out, and Social Media Engagement for Leisure in Higher Education Learning Environments (2016, background): “These likely impact the manner in which students deal with problems and perceive their new environment and the novel situations they may encounter, thus have been widely proposed as influences on adjustment to college (Petersen et al. 2009).”
