“…Prior work has not tested FOMO in relation to health anxiety, though a plethora of research supports the association of FOMO with other forms of anxiety (Elhai et al, in press). Our finding fits with the notion that anxiety, and especially health anxiety, experienced within COVID‐19 social distancing (Gonçalves et al, 2020; Oosterhoff et al, 2020) would drive FOMO because of unmet social needs (Casale & Flett, 2020). Results also fit with the I‐PACE conceptualization that background variables (e.g., anxiety) influence affective/coping responses such as Internet‐related cognitive bias (e.g., FOMO) (Brand et al, 2016; Brand et al, 2019).…”

“…Greater levels of anxiety, specifically health anxiety, should increase social distancing and staying home to avoid contracting COVID‐19 (Gonçalves et al, 2020; Oosterhoff et al, 2020). Within the context of unmet social relatedness needs from social distancing, FOMO should consequently increase (Casale & Flett, 2020; Przybylski et al, 2013).…”

“…While containment measures aim at “flattening the curve” of contamination ( Wilder-Smith et al, 2020 ), they have been investigated in psychological and psychiatric science for its potential impact in mental health, such as anxiety, depression, phobias, psychological stress, and even suicide ( Cao et al, 2020 ; Gonçalves et al, 2020 ; Qiu et al, 2020 ; Thakur and Jain, 2020 ). Additionally, psychological features and mental health have been studied regarding their expected influence on the success or failure of containment measures ( Anderson et al, 2020 ; Carvalho et al, 2020 ; Li et al, 2020 ; Lunn et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Dabei ist weniger die Intensität entscheidend, sondern die Dauer der sozialen Isolation und der empfundenen Einsamkeit, wie in einem Überblicksartikel zu Kindern, Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen festgestellt wurde [ 14 ]. Um den möglichen negativen Konsequenzen der sozialen Isolation präventiv zu begegnen, ist es wichtig, auch in Zeiten der Coronapandemie qualitativ wertvolle und zufriedenstellende Beziehungen aufrechtzuerhalten und adäquate Bewältigungsstrategien auszuüben [ 9 ]. Soziale Isolation hängt jedoch nicht nur mit Einschränkungen der psychischen Gesundheit zusammen, sondern auch mit einer Zunahme von finanziellen Sorgen sowie damit, dass sich Personen weniger gesundheitsförderlich verhalten [ 3 , 9 , 10 ].…”
