Abstract

MOURA, Débora Ferreira et al. Fear of missing out (FoMO), social media and anxiety: A systematic review. Psicol. Conoc. Soc. [online]. 2021, vol.11, n.3, pp.99-114.  Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 1688-7026.  https://doi.org/10.26864/pcs.v11.n3.7.

The present work aims to explain FoMO, anxiety and social media, identifying categories and related variables through a systematic review of exploratory literature in the respective databases: Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO and Lilacs, using only empirical articles published in Portuguese and English in the last 10 years. It is concluded, based on the databases used in this research, that the personality is understood as a predictor of the engagement and problematic use of social media, in addition, it is verified that the association with the FoMO is direct, since such traits provoke a need of the individuals to remain online and connected, independently of any cost or consequence, generating anxiety.

Keywords : Fear of missing out; FoMO; social midia; anxiety.
