“…Since they are not afraid of peer rejection, they are more resistant to peer pressure on mobile phone use. In addition, prior research has also found that people with low self-esteem have a high fear of missing, and they are more afraid of missing information on social network sites ( 48 , 49 ), which promotes them to use social network sites very frequently. High self-esteem helps adolescents reduce the fear of missing out ( 48 ).…”

BackgroundSocial media addiction has increasingly been a critical social problem. We explored the association between peer pressure on mobile phone use and adolescent mobile social media addiction and tested whether self-esteem and self-concept clarity could buffer the effect of peer pressure.Methods830 adolescents (Mage = 14.480, SDage = 1.789) participated in our anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire study.ResultsThe results showed that peer pressure significantly predicted adolescent mobile social media addiction. Self-esteem moderated the effect of peer pressure on mobile social media addiction in that peer pressure had a weaker effect for adolescents with higher self-esteem. Self-concept clarity moderated the effect of peer pressure on mobile social media addiction in that peer pressure had a weaker effect for adolescents with higher self-esteem. The two moderators also interact in that the moderation of self-esteem was stronger for adolescents with higher self-concept clarity and the moderation of self-concept clarity for adolescents with higher self-esteem.ConclusionThe results highlight the critical role of self-esteem and self-concept clarity in buffering the impact of peer pressure on mobile social media addiction. The findings promote a better understanding of how to buffer the undesirable effect of peer pressure and reduce the risk of mobile social media addiction among adolescents.

“…The evaluation of demographic variables in consideration was conducted using an independent sample t -test and one-way ANOVA, e.g., [ 47 , 48 ]. One-way ANOVA was employed to assess the dissimilarities between the social identity scale, the school adaptation scale, the core self-evaluation scale, and the MMHI-60 scale among different demographic characteristics (i.e., migration time and grade).…”

(1) Background: The present study investigated the relationships between social identity, core self-evaluation, school adaptation, and mental health problems in migrant children, and the mechanism underlying these relationships; (2) Methods: The participants were migrant middle school students in China. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26. A survey comprising the social identity scale, core self-evaluation scale, school adaptation scale, and mental health scale MMHI-60 was deployed; (3) Results: Findings indicated a significant and negative association between social identity and mental health problems, and such an association was sequentially mediated by core self-evaluation and school adaptation. Furthermore, core self-evaluation and school adaptation played a chain mediation role between social identity and migrant children’s mental health problems; (4) Conclusions: It is crucial to improve social identity, core self-evaluation, and school adaptation to reduce mental health problems among this population. Therefore, the research results provide a new direction for promoting the development of mental health education for migrant workers and their children in China.

“…On the one hand, FOMO has for instance been associated with development of problematic usage of a number of internet applications, including problematic internet usage (Röttinger et al, 2021) and smartphone addiction (Alinejad, Parizad, Yarmohammadi, & Radfar, 2022). However, on the other hand, an increasing number of studies underscore the role of social and self-related cognitions in this association such that the association between FOMO and smartphone addiction is mediated by loneliness (Alinejad et al, 2022) while FOMO mediates the association between parental support, self-construal, self-concept clarity or interpersonal sensitivity with problematic smartphone use (Kim, 2022; Lin et al, 2021; Servidio, Sinatra, Griffiths, & Monacis, 2021).…”

Fear of missing out (FOMO) promotes the desire or urge to stay continuously connected with a social reference group and updated on their activities, which may result in escalating and potentially addictive smartphone and social media use. The present study aimed to determine whether the neurobiological basis of FOMO encompasses core regions of the reward or social brain, and the associations with the level of problematic smartphone or social media use. We capitalized on a dimensional neuroimaging approach to examine cortical thickness and subcortical volume associations in a comparably large sample of healthy young individuals (n = 167). Meta-analytic network and behavioral decoding were employed to further characterize the identified regions. Higher levels of FOMO associated with lower cortical thickness in the precuneus. In contrast, no associations between FOMO and variations in striatal morphology were observed. Meta-analysis decoding revealed that the identified precuneus region exhibited a strong functional interaction with the default mode network (DMN) engaged in social cognitive and self-referential domains. Together the present findings suggest that individual variations in FOMO are associated with the brain structural architecture of the right precuneus, a core hub within a large-scale functional network resembling the DMN involved in social and self-referential processes. FOMO may promote escalating social media and smartphone use via social and self-referential processes rather than reward-related processes per se.
