Abstract

Indonesian late adolescents are actively involved in social media, experiencing both positive
and negative effects. On the positive side, they gain knowledge, access useful information,
find inspiration, and engage in meaningful interactions. Conversely, they also face negatives
such as heightened anxiety, social comparison, exposure to misinformation, and mental
health challenges. This study explores how social media engagement and peer group
Keywords: Social Media Use, Peer Group Communication, Fear of Missing Out, Late
communication contribute to Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in late adolescents.
FOMO has emerged as a significant concern with the rise of social media and digital
technology, intensifying the fear of being excluded from social experiences and trends. The
research focuses on the influence and correlation between social media use intensity and
peer group communication regarding FOMO in late adolescents aged 18-21. Employing a
quantitative approach with 100 respondents and a simple linear regression test, the findings
consistently indicate that as social media usage increases, weaken the likelihood of
experiencing FOMO. Notably, heightened communication among peers corresponds with a
decreased likelihood of FOMO.
To enhance future research, it is recommended to incorporate additional variables such as
comparison tendencies, self-esteem levels, personality traits, and peer pressure, contributing
further to the understanding of FOMO. Qualitative research methods, like interviews or
focus groups, could offer deeper insights into individuals' subjective experiences related to
FOMO, complementing quantitative findings with context. Additionally, broadening the age
range and demographic characteristics of participants would provide a more comprehensive
understanding of how FOMO manifests across diverse life stages within the context of social
media usage.
