Social meda

Social media sites play an essential role in the fear of missing out. While

it is possible that FOMO has existed for as

long as communication channels have existed, there is no doubt that social medias presence in our lives has

amplified the need and desire (and opportunity) to know what other people are doing and saying at all t

imes.

Because information is more readily available than ever before (now people dont even need to be at their computers

to access this data, as many people access social media on mobile devices), it is suggested that people have become

more addicted to c

onsuming information through social media. Social media gives people opportunities to easily

share information with others and provides them the constant opportunity to check what other people are doing and

saying. This raises a few questions. Does incre

ased checking of social media result because one has FOMO, or

does increased checking of social media cause FOMO...or some combination thereof? Do higher levels of FOMO

result in a decrease in checking social media because the individual is afraid of missin

g out and wants to avoid

additional pain to the psyche Testing these questions is predicated on the ability to measure FOMO

Social comparison

Changes in social dimensions Fear of missing out also negatively affects adolescents' self-characteristics. At this point, adolescents make social comparisons to evaluate their own situation. Comparisons, which were previously generally made with individuals in the immediate environment, have been moved to environmental environments with the widespread use of digital technologies.

Loneliness

Instances of anxiety, depression, and loneliness are attaining epidemic-levels among college-age students. Self-determination theory suggests that such feelings are attributable to antagonistic situations hindering the satisfaction of an individual's basic needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is a phenomenon that arose in the context of social media use and refers to the need to stay continually connected. Studies have shown that problematic social media and mobile technology use are related to feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness, and FOMO. Few studies have examined the relationships between these factors and academic performance. This study examines how Loneliness, FOMO, and the basic needs Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness, are related to Academic Performance. We find a positive influence of FOMO and a negative influence of Autonomy on Academic Performance. We discuss these and other findings.

Social self-efficacy

Social self-efficacy is defined as an individuals confidence in the ability to participate in social interactive tasks necessary to initiate and maintain interpersonal relationships in his/her social life (Anderson & Betz, 2001). Social self-efficacy is considered as a necessary skill not only for establishing successful social relationships but also for maintaining mental health (Lin & Betz, 2009). Social self-efficacy was also associated with personality traits. In the research conducted by Mak and Tran (2001), significant positive relationships were found between social self-efficacy and extraversion, openness and conscientiousness. Therefore, the social self-efficacy of individuals who are open to new experiences and extrovert also increases.

In the literature, there are no research findings that directly address the relationship between social self-efficacy, and FoMO. However, it can be stated that as individuals social self-efficacy increases, they establish and maintain more satisfying relationships and their FoMO level will decrease.
