Abstract
This study aims to determine the relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and Self-Control with Problematic Social Media Use (PSMU) among adolescents. This study uses a correlational quantitative approach with sampling using the simple random sampling technique. The research population consists of 236 tenth-grade students from Senior High School 1 Jatinom. The measurement tools used are the PSMU, FoMO, and Self-Control scales, which were developed based on relevant theories. The results of the hypothesis test showed that there is a very significant relationship between FoMO and Self-Control with PSMU (R = 0.355; p < 0.001). There is also a very significant positive relationship between FoMO and PSMU (r = 0.279; p < 0.001) and a very significant negative relationship between Self-Control and PSMU (r = -0.254; p < 0.01). The effective contribution of FoMO is 17.27% and Self-Control is 6.22% to PSMU. These results indicate that FoMO has a greater influence on PSMU compared to Self-Control. These findings indicate the importance of strengthening self-control and managing FoMO to prevent problematic social media use among adolescents.
