Symptoms of FOMO
Fear of missing out is associated with psychological need deficits. Self-determination theory posits that individuals’ psychological satisfaction in terms of competence, autonomy, and relatedness constitutes the three basic psychological needs of humans. Test subjects with lower levels of basic psychological satisfaction reported higher levels of FOMO. FOMO is also associated with negative psychological effects on overall mood and general life satisfaction.
A study conducted on a college campus found that experiencing FOMO on a given day led to higher levels of fatigue that day. Experiencing FOMO consistently throughout the semester also led to higher levels of stress among students. A person who anticipates experiencing fear of missing out also develops lower levels of self-esteem.
A study by JWT Intelligence showed that FOMO can affect the formation of long-term goals and self-perception. In the study, about half of the respondents said that they needed a lot of information to stay up to date and it was impossible not to miss anything.
The process of relative deprivation can produce feelings of FOMO and dissatisfaction, which can reduce psychological well-being. FOMO can lead to negative social and emotional experiences, such as boredom and loneliness.
