Description

We analyzed data from 461 American university students for a web survey conducted in 2024, administering self-report scales assessing FOMO, rumination, negative affect, and depression. Using confirmatory factor analyses, we discovered that FOMO was significantly more related to rumination’s brooding factor than reflection factor. FOMO was equally related to underlying factors of negative affect and depression.
