The study also explores associations with fear of missing out (FOMO), political interest, and openness to experience. Findings indicate that the need for relatedness and FOMO are key predictors of older adults' information use, emphasizing the social motivations behind their social media engagement. Notably, Facebook is more frequently used than Instagram across all types of information use.

Using data from the Midlife in the United States study, findings from the path analyses revealed that while the total effect of county-level poverty rate did not differ by gender, indirect effects via mediators-especially stress eating-were significant for women only.
