“…Bedtime procrastination refers to the situation where individuals deliberately delay going to bed or refuse to do so without external interference [52]. Previous research has reported that bedtime procrastination played a mediating effect in the positive correlation between PMPU and sleep quality in Chinese college students [53]. In addition, studies have also found that trait procrastination and general procrastination may lead to PMPU [54,55].…”

Background Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have found that problematic mobile phone use, bedtime procrastination, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms are strongly associated. However, studies are inconsistent regarding whether problematic mobile phone use predicts depressive symptoms or vice versa, and sleep factors have been infrequently focused on in this regard. In addition, few studies have examined the longitudinal associations and directions of effects between these factors. Therefore, this study aims to explore the longitudinal relationship among problematic mobile phone use, bedtime procrastination, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms in college students. Methods Overall, 1181 college students completed questionnaires on problematic mobile phone use, bedtime procrastination, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms at two time points 12 months apart. A cross-lagged model was used to examine the longitudinal relationship between these factors. Results Cross-lagged analyses showed significant bidirectional relationships of problematic mobile phone use with bedtime procrastination and depressive symptoms. Additionally, there were also significant bidirectional relationships of sleep quality with bedtime procrastination and depressive symptoms. Problematic mobile phone use predicted subsequent sleep quality one-way, and bedtime procrastination predicted subsequent depressive symptoms one-way. Conclusions This study further expands our understanding of the longitudinal and bidirectional relationships among problematic mobile phone use, bedtime procrastination, sleep quality and depressive symptoms and helps school mental health educators design targeted interventions to reduce problematic mobile phone use, sleep problems, and depressive symptoms among college students.

“…Indeed, PSU can involve deficits in social relationships, work and/or school performance, and can even lead to family disputes caused by excessive smartphone use because of too many hours spent on social media interaction (Billieux, Maurage, Lopez-Fernandez, Kuss, & Griffiths, 2015). Additionally, results from several previous studies found an association between PSU and poor mental health condition including depression and anxiety (Coyne, Stockdale, & Summers, 2019;Kara, Baytemir, & Inceman-Kara, 2019), sleep deficits (Zhang & Wu, 2020), low self-esteem (Lannoy et al, 2020), low selfcontrol (Servidio, 2019), and lower motivation in doing physical activities (Pereira, Bevilacqua, Coimbra, & Andrade, 2020). We should underline, however, that PSU is not actually included in the official diagnosis of the International Classification of Diseases or the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and does not seem to pose the same risks that drug and alcohol use disorders do.…”

Fear of missing out and self-esteem as mediators of the relationship between maximization and problematic smartphone use

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.

“…Empirical studies have indicated that PSU can lead to severe psychological impairments for a minority of individuals, including anxiety (see [4], for a review, low self-esteem [5], and low self-control [6,7]. Additionally, PSU has been associated with poor sleep quality [8] and poor academic outcomes [9]. However, smartphone use per se does not have necessarily negative effects on everyday life because individuals might become addicted to specific online channels and applications (e.g., social media) rather than the internet or smartphone itself [10].…”

The present study examined whether the relationship between the Dark Triad (DT) of personality and problematic smartphone use (PSU) can be explained by the mediating role of fear of missing out (FoMO). The role of FoMO in this relationship has yet to be examined. A total of 457 participants completed an online survey. Results indicated that males scored high on measures assessing DT of personality, while females scored high on PSU. Structural equation modelling showed that narcissism was directly associated with PSU. FoMO partially mediated the association between narcissism and PSU. Machiavellianism and narcissism were directly associated with FoMO. In the fully mediated model, narcissism (but not Machiavellianism) was still associated with FoMO, and in turn, FoMO was related to PSU. Although preliminary, the results of the present study indicated that Machiavellianism and narcissism might represent antecedents of FoMO, in addition to the Big Five personality traits, and both could be involved in the development of PSU.
