Analysis of predictive variables for the fear of missing out on social media users: a systematic review

Year 2023, Issue: 3 - September 2023, 125 - 131, 03.10.2023

Abstract

The development of technology has facilitated our lives, but alongside its positive outcomes, it has also brought negative effects. Due to these negative impacts, the fear of missing out on advancements (FoMO) has emerged in our lives. The purpose of this research is to explain and discuss the predictors of the fear of missing out on advancements. Since the concept of FoMO is relatively new in the Turkish literature, this study will provide guidance and contribute to future research. Nine thesis studies related to the fear of missing out on advancements, published only in the field of psychology after 2020, were included in this research through the National Thesis Center. Due to the limited number of studies and the qualitative research method used, it is not possible to generalize the results. The fear of missing out on advancements has been examined particularly in relation to nomophobia, problematic mobile phone usage, internet addiction, and social media addiction. The majority of existing studies in the literature are correlational. To strengthen the significance levels of these findings, increase causal research, include qualitative studies, employ objective measurement tools, and conduct research with more generalizable results are recommended.
