Abstract

Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) is an emotional reaction of being left out on what others are doing or not being updated to what is in the present while sense of belongingness is how connected an individual to a certain group. In gathering the data, the researchers targeted the young adults aged 18-26 years old residing in Quezon City, District 5. In line with the research instruments, the researchers used the Fear of Missing Out Scale by Przybylski (2013) and the Sense of Belonging Instrument by Hagurty and Patusky (1995). The Sense of Belonging Instrument consists of two subtests which are the SOBI-P and SOBI-A. The SOBI-P measures the psychological state of the respondents while the SOBI-A refers to antecedents to sense of belonging that consists of everyday situations.

Keywords: young adults, antecedents, fear of missing out, sense of belongingness, psychological state
