Abstract :This study examines the relationship between fear of missing out (FoMO) in the context of social media and psychological well-being, as well as the mediating role of emotion regulation skills in this relationship. Using a cross-sectional correlational design, the research draws on data collected from 272 adults aged 18 and above through online self-report measures. The findings revealed that FoMO was negatively associated with psychological well-being, with higher FoMO levels linked to lower psychological well-being. Including emotion regulation skills in the model reduced the direct effect of FoMO on psychological well-being, indicating partial mediation. Overall, the results highlight the importance of enhancing emotion regulation skills in understanding and mitigating the adverse effects of FoMO.
