Abstract
This study attempts to establish a link between the fear of missing out (FoMO) and the level of psychological well-being among undergraduate university students in Indonesia who are actively involved in their thesis work. The study encompassed 423 participating students during their thesis writing process. The Psychological-Wellbeing Scale (PWBS) developed by Putra was employed to assess psychological well-being, while the measurement of fear of missing out relied on The Fear of Missing Out Scale, developed by Przybylski. Both scales underwent professional translation into Indonesian. The analysis of the data was conducted using the Pearson Correlation method. The study reveals a fascinating negative correlation between FOMO and psychological well-being (p = 0.000, r = -0.423). This outcome underscores the connection between high levels of FoMO among undergraduate university students working on their theses and lower levels of psychological well-being, and vice versa.
