“…The IAT [ 20 , 21 ] is a 20-item measure that uses a 6-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (“does not apply”) to 5 (“always”), to measure the severity of an individual’s dependency on the online world. The following categories of online dependency were identified by the developer: 0–30 = Normal; 31–49 = Mild; 50–79 = Moderate; 80–100 = Severe [ 8 ].…”

“…Given this context, it is pertinent to pay attention to the role that smartphones will play in university students’ lives and to the potential for resultant problems. Students have higher prevalence rates of internet addiction [ 8 ], and it is likely that online use is particularly encouraged within this population (e.g., by peers socially, by universities/colleges for academic purposes). Students are now reliant on the internet and, by extension, their smartphones as the quickest and most efficient way of accessing information.…”

Smartphones have become the primary devices for accessing the online world. The potential for smartphone use to become problematic has come into increasing focus. Students and young adults have been shown to use their smartphones at high rates and may be at risk for problematic use. There is limited research evaluating interventions for problematic smartphone use. The present research aimed to develop and evaluate a digital intervention for problematic smartphone use in a student population. A mixed-method case series design was used. The participants were 10 students with mild–moderate dependency on the online world (measured via a self-report questionnaire). An intervention comprising goal setting, personalised feedback, mindfulness, and behavioural suggestions was delivered via a smartphone application. Time spent on smartphones was measured objectively through the same application. Changes in problematic technology use, wellbeing, mindfulness, and sleep were also evaluated. The findings indicate that the intervention resulted in a reduction in self-reported problematic smartphone use, but not screen time. The findings also indicate that over the course of participation, there was a positive influence on wellbeing, online dependency, mindfulness, and sleep. However, the mechanisms of change could not be determined. The study provides preliminary evidence that a light-touch, smartphone-delivered package is an acceptable and effective intervention for students wishing to better manage their problematic smartphone use.

“…In the long run, users may become dependent on the Internet for social stimulation, known as Internet addiction, from a pathological point of view. In the context of internet addiction, C. Liu [29] also studied that users can become addicted to Facebook because they use it to satisfy Fear of Missing Out. As mentioned above, internet addiction would also be categorized as problematic social media use in many scholars' studies.…”

Albeit the impact of social media on people's lives, education especially, is enormous, with the concern of whether there are ill effects about this social-media-era phenomenon, more studies in academic circles have begun to address the relationship between people's mental health and social media. With the belief that social media's helpful to the majority, education on the proper use of new media should be carried out in continuous upgrading ways. This study aims to study whether adolescents' Fear of Missing Out due to social media use will eventually lead to social media fatigue through problematic social media use or social comparisons on social media. By using the WENJUANXING platform to create the questionnaire and forwarded it on social media platforms through the snowball sampling method, we expanded the sampling range and collected 212 valid data. The study found a clear and direct correlation between college students' social media fatigue and fear of missing out. This suggests that schools and families should make efforts to address the root causes of the problem and improve the ability of adolescents to cope with stress to avoid situations in which adolescents are stressed out. The limitation of this study is that we mainly focused on college students as our respondents. However, future scholars can look at the impact of social variables like education and career on these relationships to see whether they have an impact on the overall model's conduction effect.

Internet use has become an integral part of our lives, offering a variety of features and services. While it can be beneficial to use the internet in moderation, excessive use of the internet can have negative consequences for our physical and mental health. Terms like internet addiction, internet dependency, and digital overexposure are all different ways of describing the same thing: an excessive and unhealthy use of the internet. This can manifest in a variety of ways, such as spending too much time online without taking a break or finding it difficult to focus on tasks outside of the digital domain. Overuse of the internet can also lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and frustration. It is important to be aware of how much time is being spent online and to take regular breaks in order to stay healthy.
