“…It is undeniable that social media has provided advantages to individuals; however, the overuse of it has also raised some concerns. Studies have shown that young adults using social media are at risk of suffering from psychological distress [4] [5].…”

The social media platform is extremely popular among undergraduate students. Along with the increase in social media usage, phenomena such as the fear of missing out are also becoming more prevalent among this group. It is hypothesized that excessive usage of social media contributes to the psychological decline of undergraduate students. This study aimed to examine the relationship between social media usage and the fear of missing out among undergraduate students. In addition, this study also examined the level of social media usage and the fear of missing out. The study adopted a quantitative approach, specifically a correlational research design. Data were collected from 306 undergraduates at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia using the social networking time use scale and fear of missing out (FOMO) scale instruments to measure social media usage and fear of missing out, respectively. Descriptive analysis revealed that undergraduates have a moderate level of social media usage and a moderate level of fear of missing out. Meanwhile, the inferential analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between the usage of social media and the level of fear of missing out among undergraduates. In conclusion, the study results indicate that social media usage does influence the fear of missing out among undergraduates, although the coefficient was weak.

Generation Alpha are the first to grow up immersed in digital technology and presumed to be wired differently than previous generations. This systematic review synthesizes the research literature on what has been learned so far and broadly answers the following question: What is happening in the education and training of Generation Alpha? The literature review was conducted based on guidelines outlined by The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Titles of 2,093 studies, abstracts of 603 studies, and 335 full-text studies were evaluated for inclusion criteria. A total of 83 studies were included into the literature review. The studies were sorted into four major categories: (1) the role of teachers, (2) the role of new approaches to education, (3) the role of teaching tools, and (4) the role of blended/online learning. Despite frequent use of the term “Generation Alpha” in the research literature, relatively few studies report generational differences that reveal how children of this generation are characteristically different from previous generations. There is simply a strong assumption that Generation Alpha is different. A major concern is that the use of technology by Generation Alpha has decreased opportunities for social-emotional development and increased mental health problems. There are digital educational tools and online strategies being developed and tested but none have emerged to be dominant.
