Descriptions[edit]
Fear of missing out (FoMO) refers to the apprehension that one is not in-the-know or one is out of touch with some social events, experiences, and interactions.[2] People who grapple with FoMO might not know exactly what he or she is missing, but can still hold a fear that others are having a much better time or having a much more rewarding experience on the spur of the moment.[3] FoMO could result from a variety of social activities in which one is absent, such as a conversation, a TV show, a wedding, a party, or a delicious restaurant in town.
FoMO could simply exist as a pervasive mental state, but it can also lead to different physical reactions (i.e., sweating) and real-world behaviors.[3] According to a survey conducted in the U.S. and U.K., the majority of adult Millennials (age between 18 and 34) expressed that they want to say yes to everything due to the fear of missing out; over a half of the respondents said that they barely invest sufficient energy or time in delving into topics or new interests.[3] Moreover, FoMO serves as a motive for an escalating usage of social media,[9] which could distract people from learning in the classroom[2] and operating motor vehicles.[2][10] Furthermore, unhealthy digital habits, such as constantly checking on emails and social media updates, could be developed and thus lead to insufficient engagement in the present social interactions.[3]
Besides its impact on real-world social activities, FoMO could also influence the formation of long-term goals and people's self-perceptions.[3] Around half of the respondents stated that they are overwhelmed by the amount of information which allows them to stay up to date and it is almost impossible to not miss out on something.[3] Through the process of relative deprivation, FoMO is also found conducive to people's dissatisfaction of their experiences and a feeling of having less.[3] Moreover, FoMO also plays a negative role in people's overall psychological well-being.[2][4][11] FoMO is believed to trigger negative social and emotional experiences, such as boredom and loneliness, through social media usage.[12] Consistent with earlier research, an empirical research on FoMO in 2013 found that FoMO has a negative effect on people's overall mood and life satisfaction.[2]
In terms of the cognitive effects, FoMO could further instill a belief that an interruption is no longer an interruption but a connection.[13] People are constantly looking for something more interesting or a better connection with others without realizing that it does not always better, but just different.[13] Moreover, the importance attributed to a potential possibility of social interaction or the continuous stay in-the-know is so intense that safety risks could even be ignored.[13] For instance, it is normal to find people texting while driving.[13] |
