Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and problematic smartphone use (PSU) symptoms are associated with increased depression symptom severity across studies. The current study aimed to examine the fear of missing out (FoMO) as a possible mediator in this relationship. We employed a three-wave longitudinal design among 341 Chinese university students. Results indicated that depression severity was significantly related to increased symptoms of PSU and IGD symptoms. FoMO significantly mediated the linkage between depression and PSU severity. IGD symptoms also partially mediated the relation between FoMO and PSU severity. This longitudinal study demonstrates the key role of FoMO in the linkage between psychopathology symptoms and Internet-related overuse.
网络游戏障碍（IGD）和智能手机使用问题（PSU）症状与多项研究中抑郁症状严重程度的增加有关。本研究旨在检验错失恐惧（FoMO）是否可能是这种关系的中介因素。我们在中国 341 名大学生中采用了三波纵向设计。结果表明，抑郁严重程度与 PSU 症状和 IGD 症状的加重显著相关。FoMO 显著中介了抑郁与 PSU 严重程度之间的联系。IGD 症状也部分中介了 FoMO 与 PSU 严重程度之间的关系。这项纵向研究表明，错失恐惧在精神病理学症状和互联网过度使用之间的联系中起着关键作用。
