The Social Media Party: Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), Social Media Intensity, Connection, and Well-Being (2020, background): “It is likely that the causal flow between the two variables may be bi-directional (Buglass et al., 2017). FoMO is likely an innate drive to be in relationship with others that positively impacts one’s social media use. The greater the FoMO, the more one turns to social media to regain a sense of bel”
Fear of missing out (FoMO): A generational phenomenon or an individual difference? (2020, background): “For example, FoMO was negatively correlated with self-esteem across a sample ranging from 13 to 77 years of age (Buglass et al., 2017) and with life satisfaction in adults ages 22–65 (Przybylski et al., 2013).”
Social Networking Sites and Addiction: Ten Lessons Learned (2017, neutral): “Recent research [74,75] has suggested that high engagement in social networking is partially due to what has been named the ‘fear of missing out’ (FOMO).”
Excessive internet use by young Europeans: psychological vulnerability and digital literacy? (2020, neutral): “…assumptions reflected in Figure 1 and on the longitudinal research which shows that psychological characteristics come before Internet use (e.g., Buglass et al., 2017; Ko et al., 2009) and, similarly, from research that shows that skills and literacy are stronger predictions of engagement than…”
Fear of missing out (FOMO): overview, theoretical underpinnings, and literature review on relations with severity of negative affectivity and problematic technology use (2020, background): “Por exemplo, a síndrome de FOMO foi estudada em amostras de Israel [22], Turquia [29], Bélgica [31], Polônia [32], Reino Unido [33], Nova Zelândia [34], Alemanha [35], Itália [30], China [36], Bósnia [37], Índia [38], América Latina [39] e várias regiões dentro dos Estados Unidos [27, 40, 41].”
Psychological and behavioral outcomes of social media-induced fear of missing out at the workplace (2021, neutral): “…with narcissism and exhibitionism, such as self-disclosure (Guo et al., 2018; M ¨ antym ¨ aki & Islam, 2016) and self-promotion (Islam et al., 2019), can increase individuals ’ vulnerability towards adverse consequences like addictive use (Andreassen et al., 2017) and FoMO (Buglass et al., 2017).”
Passive social networking site use and well-being: The mediating roles of social comparison and the fear of missing out (2019, background): “Our primary hypothesis revolves around the notion that SNSs may fuel feelings of FoMO, as passively browsing the positive content that others post online may then trigger the fear that others are having more rewarding experiences than the self (Buglass et al., 2017).”
