Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper ""I Don't Want to Miss a Thing": adolescents' fear of missing out and its relationship to adolescents' social needs, facebook use, and facebook related stress" ?

This survey study among adolescents ( N 1⁄4 402 ) investigates an integrative model that examines ( 1 ) the mediating role of adolescents ’ fear of missing out ( FoMO ) in the relationships of adolescents ’ need to belong and need for popularity with adolescents ’ 

The authors therefore recommend that future research examine these relationships in a nationally representative sample to complement the data provided by the present study. The authors therefore recommend that future studies examine the association between adolescents ’ For instance, adolescents ’ need to belong, which reflects the need to develop and maintain significant and stable interpersonal relationships ( Baumeister & Leary, 1995 ), may be particularly associated with sending private messages through the private Facebook chat environment. Adolescents ’ need for popularity, which reflects the need to increase one ’ s popularity, may be particularly associated with posting status updates, pictures, and videos in the public Facebook environment, because adolescents may receive likes for these public messages, which likely increases their popularity. 

A recent American report revealed that Facebook is the most popular and widely used online social network among adolescents; more than 71% of 13- to 17-year-olds uses Facebook (Lenhart, 2015). 

That is, not receiving any comments or likes from peers on messages, pictures, or videos that adolescents post on Facebook increases feelings of stress among adolescents. 

On average, 33.7% of the adolescents (fully) agreed with the items concerning the need to belong and 4.7% of the adolescents (fully) agreed with the items concerning the need for popularity. 

Adolescents’ fear to miss out on events, in turn, likely drives their Facebook use, as Facebook enables adolescents to stay continually connected with their peers (Shapiro &Margolin, 2013). 

After school principals had granted permission to participate in the study, a trained research assistant visited the school and distributed paper surveys. 

For instance, adolescents’ need to belong, which reflects the need to develop and maintain significant and stable interpersonal relationships (Baumeister& Leary, 1995), may be particularly associated with sending private messages through the private Facebook chat environment.
