Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) among adolescents gives rise to compulsive social media use. Young people often feel compelled to remain connected to the digital world in order not to fall behind, generating persistent anxiety that may disrupt their mental well-being. The phenomenon of FoMO was observed in Kalang Magetan Village, where it was found that FoMO among rural adolescents is primarily influenced by limited social interaction (life satisfaction). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between life satisfaction, Self-Control, and FoMO. The participants comprised 186 adolescents from Kalang Magetan Village. The research adopted a quantitative, correlational design. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire with five response options, and analysis was conducted through multiple linear regression. The findings revealed a significant negative relationship between both life satisfaction and Self-Control with FoMO tendencies in adolescents. Specifically, there was a significant negative correlation between life satisfaction and FoMO, as well as between Self-Control and FoMO. The practical contribution of life satisfaction to FoMO was 2.5%, while that of Self-Control was 32.1%, resulting in a combined effective contribution of 34.6% from both variables.
