INTRODUZZJONI:
Recently studies examined mediating psychological constructs accounting for relations between both depression and anxiety with problematic smartphone use (PSU) severity. The aim of the current study was to analyze the fear of missing out (FOMO) as a possible mediator in these relationships.
METODU:
Aħna rreklutajna studenti li għadhom ma ggradwawx lil 1034 Ċiniżi permezz ta 'stħarriġ ibbażat fuq il-web li mkejjel il-frekwenza tal-użu tal-ismartphone, PSU, depressjoni, ansjetà u FOMO.
RIŻULTATI:
L-immudellar ta ’l-ekwazzjoni strutturali wera li FOMO kien relatat b’mod sinifikanti mal-frekwenza ta’ lużu tal-smartphone u s-severità tal-PSU. Relazzjonijiet medjati b'mod sinifikanti mill-FOMO bejn l-ansjetà u kemm il-frekwenza tal-użu tal-smartphone u s-severità tal-PSU. FOMO ma kkunsidratx relazzjonijiet bejn id-depressjoni u l-użu tal-ismartphone / PSU.
KONKLUżJONI:
This is one of the first studies testing FOMO in relation to PSU severity among Asian participants. FOMO may be an important variable accounting for why some types of psychopathology (e.g., anxiety) are associated with PSU.
