Research psychologist, AndrewPrzy-
bylski of the University of Essex, and
colleagues 3 at University of California-Los Angeles and University of Rochester
have recently published the first empirically based investigation of FOMO.
Their findings:
FOMO is a driving force behind social
media use.
FOMO levels are highest in young
people and young men in particular.
Low levels of need satisfaction and life
satisfaction are linked to high FOMO.
