Abstract
In the current technological era, TikTok is one of the dominant social media platforms among teenagers. It serves as a medium to overcome boredom and entertainment saturation. However, the high number of TikTok users has raised concerns about Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), which can be influenced by a lack of self-control and peer conformity. This study aims to examine the effect of self-control on FoMO, the effect of peer conformity on FoMO, and the combined effect of self-control and peer conformity on FoMO among 450 adolescents aged 12–21 years who use TikTok in Jakarta. A quantitative approach was used, employing a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of a self-control scale, a peer conformity scale, and a FoMO scale. The study results highlight that self control has an effect of 20.1% on fear of missing out with a regression coefficient value of -0.643, peer conformity has an effect of 10.1% on fear of missing out with a regression coefficient value of 0.226, Self Control and Peer Conformity in this study have an effect of 30.3% on Fear of Missing Out. This research indicate that when individuals are able to adapt to groups in a healthy way and have the ability to control impulses, the tendency to experience FoMO can be suppressed.
