  • 錯失恐懼症(Fear of Missing Out, FOMO)是一種焦慮情感,起因於擔心自身沒有參與到現今正在發生的趣事。FOMO從許久以前就已經存在於人類社會中,因應此危害的措施即為取得相關資訊與知識。
     
    在社群媒體出現以前,FOMO是得以被控制的;然而,近年因社群媒體為人們創造了一個可以藉由一個觸碰即迅速獲取大量且無窮資訊的概念,加上智慧型手機與社群軟體的搭配使用,造就了FOMO狀況的激增。如今,對於年輕人而言,社群媒體已經成為聯繫和互動的主要方法,FOMO的狀況也因此而愈加嚴重,並對現代之生活造成重大影響。
     
    本研究確立了影響FOMO趨勢之相關調節因素,並以此提供一全面性之因果模型。透過此描述性模型,本研究探索了現今存在於智慧型手機上能夠減緩社群軟體上癮症狀之數位工具,期望藉此幫助有此需求之使用者在其線上互動之過程中建立更健全之關係。
     
    本研究發現智慧型手機之使用者在使用社群網站(Social Network Sites, SNS)之方面,同時具有不同程度之FOMO狀況與正負面之體驗。此研究結果表明,限制螢幕使用時間將有助於具高度FOMO症狀與網路使用問題之使用者減緩其FOMO症狀,然而,此非代表其在任何狀況下都將維持此成效,在對於某些使用者來說,其反而加劇FOMO之症狀。

    The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) refers to the anxiety incurred by the thoughts that an exciting or interesting thing may currently be happening and you are not a part of it. FOMO has been with us since the primitive days. To be well adapted with a changing environment to survive and thrive, humans need acquiring information and wisdom to attune to. 

    Not until the advent of social media, FOMO was something under control because accessing an endless source of information shared by someone you know at a fingertip at the time was an inconceivable concept. The combination of social media platforms and smartphones bring out FOMO to its full potential. Nowadays social media has become the main source of connection and interaction especially for young people, FOMO thus intensifies and has significant impact to modern life consequentially. 

    This study identifies the moderators which shape the tendency to FOMO thus providing a comprehensive causal model. Drawing on this descriptive model, this study explores existing digital tools available on smartphones that can help ease social media addiction for smartphone users who want to have a healthier relationship with their online engagement. 

    We discovered that smartphone users have different levels of FOMO and have both positive and negative experiences when using SNS (Social Network Sites). Our findings imply that limiting screen time is useful in reducing FOMO among persons who have strong symptoms of FOMO and problematic internet use, but it is not effective in all cases. And for some, it raises their level of FOMO.
