Overview

Descriptive-correlational analysis reveals FOMO and anxiety patterns across age groups, suggesting social media impacts.

Key Points

  • FOMO is highest among participants under 18, decreasing with age, and linked to anxiety levels.
  • A strong positive correlation (r = 0.53, p < .001) was found between FOMO and anxiety across various age groups.
  • Descriptive-correlational research design utilized an online survey and analyzed quantitative data on social media use and mental health.
  • Age-targeted mental health programs may be necessary, particularly for adolescents dealing with high levels of FOMO and anxiety.
