Abstract:
This graduation thesis addresses the highly relevant issue of the impact of the digital environment on the mental health of young people, specifically the fear of missing out (FOMO) as a risk factor for the development of anxiety-depressive states. The study presents a theoretical analysis of both domestic and international research dedicated to the FOMO phenomenon, its structure, mechanisms of emergence, and connection with emotional distress, as well as examines individual psychological characteristics that increase vulnerability to this phenomenon. The relationship between FOMO and anxiety and depressive symptomatology among active social media users was identified using the following psychodiagnostic instruments: the Spielberger-Hanin Anxiety Scale (state and trait anxiety), the Beck Depression Scale, and the adapted Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOs). It was established that FOMO positively correlates with trait anxiety, with this relationship becoming significant only when social media use exceeds the threshold of 7 or more hours per day; a direct significant relationship between FOMO and depressive symptomatology was not found across the entire sample. Recommendations have been formulated for the prevention of negative consequences of FOMO for the mental health of active social media users, including the development of digital hygiene, self-regulation skills, and reducing dependence on social comparisons.
