Impact of Fear of Missing Out (Fomo) Anxiety and Aggression of Young Adults

Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) has appear as a conventional mental miracle in the digital age, particularly among young adults. This study examines the impact of FoMO on anxiety and aggression, exploring how the constant need for social evidence and connectivity contributes to negative emotional and behavioral outcomes. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from young adults through structured self-report measures assessing FoMO, anxiety, and aggression. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, were operated to determine the relationships between these variables. Findings suggest that higher levels of FoMO are associated with increased anxiety and aggression, signifying the psychological strain caused by social comparison and digital over-engagement. The study highlights the need for interventions that promote digital well-being and persistence against FoMO-related stressors. Future research directions and practical inference for mental health professionals are also discussed

Abstract

Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) has appear as a conventional mental miracle in the digital age, particularly among young adults. This study examines the impact of FoMO on anxiety and aggression, exploring how the constant need for social evidence and connectivity contributes to negative emotional and behavioral outcomes. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from young adults through structured self-report measures assessing FoMO, anxiety, and aggression. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, were operated to determine the relationships between these variables. Findings suggest that higher levels of FoMO are associated with increased anxiety and aggression, signifying the psychological strain caused by social comparison and digital over-engagement. The study highlights the need for interventions that promote digital well-being and persistence against FoMO-related stressors. Future research directions and practical inference for mental health professionals are also discussed
