Özet:

 In the contemporary technological and communicative milieu, social media platforms facilitate the rapid dissemination of information, rendering it a highly accessible avenue for individuals to remain apprised of developments. The rapidity and ease with which information can be disseminated via social media has resulted in a considerable number of shares and interactions, thereby engendering a sense of apprehension regarding the potential for missing out on pertinent developments. The phenomenon of FoMO Fear of Missing Out, defined as the fear of missing out on social media, has been the subject of extensive research. This study is concerned with the phenomenon of FoMO Fear of Missing Out, which has emerged as a significant concern in the context of social media, particularly in relation to the monitoring of digital agendas. For many young people, social media represents one of the primary avenues through which they engage with developments in the digital realm. The principal objective of this study is to ascertain the relationship between young peoples social media usage patterns and their experience of FoMO. The study employed the Social Media Use Scale and the FoMO Scale, which were utilized to assess the data from 414 university student participants. T-tests, ANOVA, and correlation analysis were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed no significant discrepancy between the demographic characteristics of the participants and FoMO. However, notable differences emerged with regard to FOMO and the time spent on the internet and social media. Correlation analysis indicated a positive relationship between the Social Media Use Scale and FOMO.

 Teknoloji merkezli günümüz iletişim toplumunda her türlü bilginin hızlı şekilde dolaştığı sosyal medya, insanların herhangi bir gelişmeden haberdar olmalarını son derece kolaylaştırmıştır. Sosyal medyanın bilgi paylaşımında sağladığı hız ve kolaylık beraberinde çok fazla sayıda paylaşım ve etkileşim meydana getirerek insanların bir şeyleri kaçırma endişesini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Sosyal medyada gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu kavramı ile tanımlanan FoMO Fear of Missing Out çeşitli araştırmalara konu olmaktadır. Bu çalışma gündem takibinin en önemli mecralarından sosyal medyada gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Sosyal medya, dijital dünyada gelişmelerin takip edilmesinde gençlerin en çok tercih ettiği mecraların başında gelmektedir. Çalışmada temel amaç gençlerin sosyal medya kullanım alışkanlıkları ile FoMO arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Üniversite öğrencileri üzerine odaklanan ve 414 katılımcı formunun verilerinin değerlendirildiği araştırmada Sosyal Medya Kullanım Ölçeği ve FoMO Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesi için t-testi, ANOVA ve korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların demografik özellikleri ile FoMO arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadığı buna karşın internette geçirilen zaman ve sosyal medyada geçirilen zaman açısından FOMOda anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Korelasyon analizi sonucuna göre Sosyal Medya Kullanım Ölçeği ile FOMO arasında pozitif yönde ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir.
