Abstract

Instagram shows a high number of users at the age of emerging adulthood. The Covid-19 pandemic obligates people to stay at home, making individuals to be attached with social media. The high intensity of Instagram usage drives individuals to keep being exposed with various information related to others. This condition may cause a concern that other people have an activity, experience, and conversation that is more pleasuring than self, which is known as the fear of missing out (FOMO) phenomenon. This study was quantitative research with a correlational method. Purposive sampling was used as the sample collection technique. Subjects in the study were amounted to 382 emerging adulthood aged 18 to 25 years old and actively using Instagram. Correlation tests were used as the data analysis technique. Research results indicate that Instagram usage intensity correlated positively and significantly with fear of missing out (FOMO) in emerging adulthood with a correlation coefficient value of 0.409 and p value < 0.001. It is expected that this study should be a consideration for Instagram users to avoid negative social comparisons in social media to be prevented from FOMO.
