Abstract

We investigated the influence of various life factors on a college student's experience of the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) through an online questionnaire. We found that social media, GPA, and living in dormitories all significantly influenced FoMO. Such findings can be implemented to benefit student wellbeing and academia.
