FOMO, which entered the psychology literature with the increase in technological developments and social media usage, is a new concept. Studies have reported values ranging from 15.2-75% for the prevalence of FOMO in the community. In the etiology of FOMO, along with demographic and individual factors, thought characteristics and behavioral patterns were found to be effective. It has also been reported that there are factors that can significantly affect the psychological health of the individual in the situations seen with FOMO. In addition, it has been reported that there are factors that can significantly affect the psychological health of the individual in situations seen with FOMO. The part of the study that differs from other studies on the subject is the way the concept of FOMO is handled, the breadth of the subject's scope and its base on current evaluations. This study provides literature information in terms of understanding the etiology of FOMO and examining the triggering and maintaining factors.

Özet

Gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu (Fear of Missing Out, FoMO), başkalarının sosyal yaşantılarında gelişmeler ve yeniliklerden bireyin bunlardan yoksun kalacağı veya kaçıracağı yönündeki yoğun kaygıları ile karakterizedir. Teknolojik gelişmelerin ve sosyal medya kullanımının artışı ile psikoloji literatürüne giren FoMO henüz yeni bir kavramdır. Yapılan çalışmalarda yaygınlık için %15,2-75 aralığında değerler bildirilmiştir. Cinsiyet ve yaş gibi demografik değişkenlerin dışında kaygılı düşünce yapısı, nevrotik kişilik özellikleri, kaygılı bağlanma biçimi ve sosyal medya kullanımı gibi faktörlerin de FoMO etiyolojisinde önemli olduğu bilinmektedir. Sosyallik algısındaki bozulma, kendilik sunumunun değişmesi ve sosyal medya kullanımının artması ise FoMO belirtilerinin devam etmesinde sürdürücü faktörler olarak dikkat çekmektedir. FoMO belirtileri sonucunda davranışsal bağımlılık (internet, oyun oynama, akıllı telefon ve sosyal medya vb.), phubbing davranışı, uyku sorunları, depresyon, anksiyete ve dikkat dağınıklığı gibi önemli sorunlar da görülmektedir. Psikoloji literatürü için yeni bir kavram olarak FoMO, bireyin ruh sağlığı için önemli sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile birlikte FoMO’nun daha iyi anlaşılması için literatür bilgileri gözden geçirilmiş ve sonraki çalışmalarda kavramın farklı yönlerinin incelenmesinde güncel bilgiler derlenmiştir.
