Abstract

Objectives: The proliferation of social media has resulted in negative consequences such as fear of missing out (FoMO), the anxious feelings one has when others are having rewarding experiences. Few studies have assessed FoMO in Latinx emerging adult college students, none utilizing the socioecological framework. This study assessed the relationships between FoMO and psychological and sociocultural risk and protective factors.

Method: Latinx college students (n = 452; M_age = 19.97 years, SD = 1.89; 77.2% female) completed an online survey assessing demographics, FoMO, social media addiction, depression, anxiety, stress, Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, familism, and acculturation. Two multiple linear regressions assessed the associations between FoMO and psychological and sociocultural factors.

Results: Both regressions were statistically significant. First, FoMO was positively associated with social media addiction, depression, and Machiavellianism. Second, FoMO was positively associated with familial honor and negatively associated with familial interconnectedness and ethnic social relations.

Conclusions: Associations between FoMO and psychological factors are consistent with past literature, yet they highlight the need for prospective studies to assess temporality. The fact that FoMO was related uniquely to familistic attitudes suggests the importance of family in FoMO perceptions and the need to assess these associations in a more nuanced manner.

拉美裔新成人大学生害怕错过与心理和社会文化因素之间的关系。

目标社交媒体的普及带来了一些负面影响，如害怕错过（FoMO），即当别人拥有令人满意的经历时，自己却感到焦虑不安。很少有研究对拉丁裔新兴成人大学生的 FoMO 进行评估，也没有研究采用社会生态学框架。本研究评估了 FoMO 与心理和社会文化风险及保护因素之间的关系：拉丁裔大学生（n = 452；年龄 = 19.97 岁，SD = 1.89；77.2% 为女性）完成了一项在线调查，调查内容包括人口统计学、FoMO、社交媒体成瘾、抑郁、焦虑、压力、马基雅维利主义、自恋、心理变态、家庭主义和文化适应。两个多重线性回归评估了 FoMO 与心理和社会文化因素之间的关联：结果：两个回归结果均具有统计学意义。首先，FoMO 与社交媒体成瘾、抑郁和马基雅维利主义呈正相关。其次，FoMO 与家庭荣誉感呈正相关，而与家庭相互联系和种族社会关系呈负相关：FoMO与心理因素之间的关系与过去的文献一致，但它们强调了进行前瞻性研究以评估时间性的必要性。FoMO与家庭主义态度独特相关这一事实表明了家庭在FoMO认知中的重要性，以及以更细致的方式评估这些关联的必要性。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
