“…The concept of fomo is prevalent among Millennials because they exchange far more social information through social media utilities than the previous generation (Przybylski et al, 2013). These consumers make decision according to their peer opinions such as looking good (Barker, 2012;Taken Smith, 2012). For instance, millennial fans are more likely go to games when their peer believe that "being cool" is the main value to make a difference.…”

A new mode of social media-based phenomenon regarding relationship between fomo and consumption, namely fomsumerism, points out a new paradigm or point of view in terms of marketing. This article is a pioneering theoretical work as an approach from the perspective of combination of fomo and consumption. The aim of this article was to conceptualize the fomsumerism in terms of consumer behavior and to discuss this phenomenon, concept or theory. This study provides needed clarity for scholars approaching this topic. Consumption regarding fomo, fomsumerism, is depend on a sense of social media sharing and it is important to individual and social identity through shared product, service and experiences. In conclusion, this theoretical framework suggests it may be important to reveal the notion that fomsumerism in general represents the hidden patterns of consumption behavior of social media in today's world. This paper contributes to marketing theory by developing a conceptual approach that explains and offers implications pertaining to the relationship between fomo and consumption in the age of social media.

“…Scholars have proposed that individuals are prone to seek out information and experiences that affirm their pre-existing social identities -a phenomenon known as social identity gratification (Barker, 2012;Harwood, 1999). For youth, there are opportunities and costs associated with the use of social media for this purpose, particularly in terms of their ability to establish and maintain positive self-images, and to express their sexuality.…”

“…These studies draw from diverse samples and use diverse methodologies; however, together they serve as an initial window into how social media offers: (1) opportunities for self-branding (Gajaria, Yeung, Goodale, & Charach, 2011) and maintaining current or desired conceptualisations of the self (Barker, 2012); (2) challenges for personal expression and sexual identities (Manago, Graham, Greenfield, & Salimkhan, 2008;Tortajada, Araüna, & Martínez, 2013); and (3) mixed findings regarding adolescents' ability to establish a more stable sense of self (Davis, 2013).…”

As social media use is rising among adolescents, the issue of whether this use leads to positive or negative outcomes warrants greater understanding. This article critically reviews the literature related to this important topic. Specifically, we examine how social media use affects social connectedness in terms of three elements of adolescent development: sense of belonging, psychosocial wellbeing, and identity development and processes. Mixed findings are reported regarding the role that social media plays in fostering social connectedness, which suggests that young people may experience both positive and negative psychological outcomes. As a result, this article argues that online tools create a paradox for social connectedness. On one hand, they elevate the ease in which individuals may form and create online groups and communities, but on the other, they can create a source of alienation and ostracism. This article contributes to ongoing discourse in the area of educational and developmental psychology, and has implications for researchers and practitioners working with adolescents.

ResumenLos avances que están produciéndose en el ámbito académico con el surgimiento de herramientas de la Web 2.0 y el empleo masivo por parte de los estudiantes de las redes sociales para comunicarse entre ellos, está haciendo que el panorama educativo se encuentre ante unos desafíos a los que tiene que dar respuesta. La investigación que aquí se presenta tuvo como objetivo principal analizar el estado del empleo de la redes sociales por parte alumnado universitario, así como los posibles malos hábitos y usos problemáticos de las mismas. Se utilizó como instrumento de recogida de información un cuestionario "ad hoc" con un total de 23 ítems. Podemos concluir que el alumnado en general no posee malos hábitos en el empleo de las redes sociales, igualmente los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto que su utilización no está plenamente integrada en las instituciones universitarias de educación superior, así como que los estudiantes no las utilizan como herramienta fundamental para las resolución de cuestiones académicas. Palabas clave: redes sociales (en línea), educación superior, internet, hábitos, web 2.0. AbstractThe developments taking place in the academic field with the emergence of Web 2.0 tools and the massive use by students of social networks to communicate with each other is making the educational landscape face some challenges which must be answered. The research presented was mainly intended to analyze the status of the use of social media by college students as well as possible bad habits and problematic uses therefore. An "ad hoc" questionnaire with a total of 23 items was used as a gathering information tool. We conclude that students generally do not have bad habits in the use of social networks, also the results show that their use is not fully integrated into the institutions and students do not use them as a fundamental tool for academic resolution issues.
