Latent Profile

Background and aims: Fear of missing out (FoMO) is described as a pervasive unpleasant sensation that others might be having rewarding experiences of which one is not part, as well as the desire to stay continually connected with what others are doing. It has shown to play an important mediating role in predicting negative outcomes of heavy use of these networks. The aim of the present study was to analyze the different profiles found among users. Methods: 5,280 Spanish speaking social media users from Latin America replied in an online survey to the Spanish version of the FoMO scale, to a short set of questionnaires on online social network use (frequency, intensity and type of access) and indicators of mobile phone addiction. Results: FoMO correlated with the number of different networks used and with all indicators of social network use and mobile phone addiction. Using a Latent Profile Analysis, four classes of users were identified: low-engagement light users, high-engagement heavy users, high-engagement low-risk users, and high-engagement high-risk users; individuals from the fourth class can be considered at risk for developing addiction to online social networks (7.6 % of the sample). Discussion: Accessing the social networks via the mobile phone and presenting addictive behavior seem to be important correlates of FoMO.

Shed Light

Smartphones are ubiquitous and frequently used in copresent interactions. This behavior is often seen as inappropriate and thus has been termed phubbing, compromising the words “phone” and “snubbing.” Although being a worldwide phenomenon, little is known about what predicts phubbing behavior in the first place. Drawing on injunctive norms (i.e., what ought to be done), the study’s aim was to shed light on the relationship between mobile phone norms (MPN) and phubbing behavior. Furthermore, the role of being permanently online and permanently connected (POPC) and fear of missing out (FOMO), reflecting approach and avoidance orientations, respectively, as additional predictors and moderators was investigated. As expected, the findings of an online survey ( N = 278) supported the assumption that MPN were negatively related to phubbing behavior. Moreover, results showed that both FOMO and POPC were significantly positively connected to phubbing behavior but did not play significant moderating roles concerning the norm–phubbing relationship.

The Relationship

The main objective of the study is to investigate the impact of No-Mobile-Phobia (Nomophobia) on retail investors‟ investment decisions. The relationship was further analysed by incorporating the role of Investor related Fear-of-Missing-Out (I-FoMO) which is different from traditional FOMO in Indian Financial Markets. The information asymmetry is generated by the absence of a mobile phone coupled with the fear of missing important information in financial markets used for extensive investment decisions was determined by conducting a survey method. A total of 265 retail investors were used for analysing the data and to explore this new phenomenon by Partial Least Square Structural Equational Modelling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS version 3.3.2. Further, Importance Performance Map Analysis (IMPA) was applied to investigate the critical factors for determining investor behaviour. The results revealed that there is a tendency to exhibit overtrading by retail investors in the state of fear of no investment information and lack of convenience due to news in smartphones. The similar phenomenon was experienced where Nomophobia leads extensively to I-FoMO which mediates the relationship of No-mobiles and investor behaviour. The study provides a new dimension to the theoretical frameworks in behavioural finance where media studies and information dissemination through smartphones to understand investor behaviour. The study not only validates NMP Questionnaire in media studies but also investigates the new scale of I-FoMOin behavioural finance to understand the aspects of fear and anxiety among human behaviour in Information Systems (IS) Research.

The Relationship

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between no mobile phobia (nomophobia) which is defined as a modern fear of being unable to communicate through the mobile phone, and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) which is known to be related with the problematic relationship with Social Networking Sites (SNSs), and play a critical role in the increased use of Social Networking Sites (SNS). The data were collected from a convenient sample of 538 university students via Nomophobia (NMP-Q) and FOMO Scales, The results show that a positive moderate level of relationship was found between Nomophobia and FOMO levels. The findings showed that FOMO level of university students predicts 41% of the total variance at the Nomophobia level. That is, when FOMO level increases, students’ nomophobia level can be predicted from data depicting the increase.
