FoMO - Fear of Missing Out: design definition, theoretical background and literature review

Preface to translation

For those who will later get acquainted with the primary sources in translation, I partially left the original terminology and abbreviations. For the same purposes in the list of references there are different markings of links link | full-text | backup. Where full-text is links to publications distributed freely, backup is copies collected on my Google Drive.





Since there are no Russian analogues for some of the terms, I use their free interpretation and use and original spelling.





Introduction

FoMO - Fear of Missing Out / Syndrome of missed opportunities is one of the new psychological constructions associated with the experience of operating digital services and products.





The focus of the review is to identify and decompose the FoMO design, identify its theoretical flaws, and highlight recent research linking FoMO to social media engagement levels, problematic internet use (PIU), negative affectivity, and socio-demographic characteristics. ...





FoMO is a universal phenomenon that has been researched and supported as a valid psychological construct in many countries: Israel ⁽²²⁾ , Turkey ⁽²⁹⁾ , Belgium ⁽³¹⁾ , Poland ⁽³²⁾ , UK ⁽³³⁾ , New Zealand ⁽³⁴⁾ , Germany ⁽³⁵⁾ , Italy ⁽³⁰⁾ , China ⁽³⁶⁾ , Bosnia ⁽³⁷⁾ , India ⁽³⁸⁾ , Latin America ⁽³⁹⁾ and the USA ⁽²⁷⁾ ⁽⁴⁰⁾ ⁽⁴¹⁾ .
