“…According to self-determination theory (SDT), human beings have three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence and relatedness (Ryan & Deci, 2000). A lack of these basic psychological needs may lead to FoMO (Chai et al, 2018). Empirical studies have documented that having one's basic psychological needs satisfied is a significant negative predictor of FoMO (Przybylski et al, 2013;Xie et al, 2018) while a deficiency in specific psychological needs is positively correlated with FoMO (Beyens, Frison, & Eggermont, 2016;Oberst, Wegmann, Stodt, Brand, & Chamarro, 2017).…”

“…Individuals with high levels of perceived social support can use protective resources to meet their psychological needs and satisfaction of basic psychological needs appears to serve as protective factors itself against harmful effects. Conversely, when such needs cannot be satisfied, the desire to fulfil these needs might hinder self-regulatory mechanisms, which may result in FoMO (Chai et al, 2018). Therefore, individuals with high levels of perceived social support are more likely to satisfy their basic psychological needs, which could help boost wellbeing and reduce their FoMO.…”

“…Fear of missing out (FoMO), also referred to as anxiety of missing out in some studies, involves a fear of missing out on someone's novel experiences (Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan, & Gladwell, 2013) and can be regarded as a subcategory of anxiety (Chai et al, 2018). The exponential growth of the Internet in recent years and the pervasive use of social media have resulted in the increasing prominence of FoMO (Milyavskaya, Saffran, Hope, & Koestner, 2018) and, equally, its impact on people's physical and mental health has started to gain attention.…”

Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) is a pervasive phenomenon among college students that may negatively affect the physical and mental health of individuals. Perceived social support, as one of the effective protective factors, can mitigate the harmful effects of FoMO, but few studies to date have examined the potential mechanisms underlying this relationship. The present study conducted an investigation involving 806 college students in China and used scales measuring perceived social support, basic psychological needs, perceived stress and FoMO to explore the relationship between perceived social support and FoMO. Findings indicated that 1) perceived social support was negatively associated with college students’ FoMO; 2) basic psychological needs partially mediated the relationship between perceived social support and FoMO; 3) the mediating role of basic psychological needs is moderated by perceived stress. Further, the study provides some theoretical and practical implications for the prevention of FoMO.

“…Fear of missing out (FOMO) was a diffuse anxiety that individuals experienced due to the fear of missing out on meaningful, positive events that others were experiencing and showed a tendency to want to know what others were doing on an ongoing basis (Przybylski et al, 2013;Chai et al, 2018). According to the social selectivity hypothesis theory, most of an individual's emotional problems and maladaptive behaviors stemmed from cognitive biases (Hurst, 2016).…”

This study aimed to examine the direct relationship between perceived stress and online flaming, as well as the mediating roles of fear of missing out and ego depletion. A sample of Chinese junior and senior high school students (N = 556) was included. Students completed the Perceived Stress Scale, Fear of Missing out Scale, Ego Depletion Scale, and the Online Flaming Scale. The results indicated that tension (perceived stress sub-dimension) had a direct effect on online flaming, and perceived stress and loss of control (perceived stress sub-dimension) did not have a direct effect on online flaming. Moreover, perceived stress and tension (perceived stress sub-dimension) had an indirect effect on online flaming through the mediating roles of fear of missing out and ego depletion, and loss of control (perceived stress sub-dimension) did not have an indirect effect on online flaming through the mediating roles of fear of missing out and ego depletion. These findings enhanced the understanding of the mechanism of online flaming and provided new perspectives for the prevention of online flaming among adolescents.

“… 3 , 12 For instance, the research conducted by Elhai et al 3 found that problematic phone use was positively predicted by FoMO. Individuals with FoMO constantly care about knowing what others are doing, and the fear to miss out on information about others’ experiences, 13 whereas mobile phones offer individuals a platform to communicate with friends in real time and pay attention to anything experienced by others, which leads individuals with FoMO to problematic mobile phone use. Furthermore, some research findings support this idea.…”

Introduction:Mobile phones bring much convenience to college students' lives, but they also cause problems. Few studies have explored the effect of the fear of missing out (FoMO) on problematic mobile phone use among college students. This study tested the mediating effect of self-control in the relationship between FoMO and problematic mobile phone use. It also explored the moderating roles of perceived social support and future orientation in the relationship between these variables. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used in this study. Materials include the Fear of Missing Out Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Self-control Scale (Chinese version), Mobile Phone Addiction Index, and Consideration of Future Consequences Scale. Of 3606 participants, 3189 completed the questionnaire. SPSS 21 was used to analyze the mediation and moderation effects. Results:The results showed that problematic mobile phone use was positively predicted by FoMO. The relationship between FoMO and problematic mobile phone use was partially mediated by self-control. When the scores of perceived social support and future orientation were high, the negative effect of FoMO on problematic mobile phone use was reduced. Conclusion:The negative effect of FoMO on problematic mobile phone use through selfcontrol was moderated by perceived social support and future orientation.
