Hubungan Fear of Missing Out dengan Digital Burnout pada Remaja Pengguna Media Sosial di SMA Negeri 2 Jember

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology and social media has increased adolescents’ digital engagement, raising the risk of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and digital burnout. However, studies examining the relationship between FoMO and digital burnout among adolescents in Indonesian school settings remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between FoMO and digital burnout among adolescent social media users at SMA Negeri 2 Jember. Method: This study a cross-sectional approach. A total of 265 students from grade X and XI at SMA Negeri 2 Jember were selected using multistage sampling with the first stage being proportionate sampling and the second stage being simple random sampling. The instruments showed good reliability, with cronbach’s alpha values of 0.763 for the FoMO scale consisting of 10 items and 0.918 for the digital burnout scale consisting of 24 items, both assessed using a five-point likert scale. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank correlation test Result: The findings showed that most respondents experienced moderate levels of FoMO and digital burnout, with statistical analysis indicating a significant positive correlation between FoMO and digital burnout (r = 0.327; CI = 95,0%). Analysis: The correlation coefficient demonstrates a positive relationship with weak strength, indicating that higher FoMO levels tend to be associated with higher levels of digital burnout among adolescents. Discussion: These findings support previous research suggesting that FoMO encourages excessive engagement with social media, which may lead to emotional exhaustion and mental fatigue. Therefore, appropriate management of social media use and the development of healthy digital habits are essential to reduce FoMO and prevent digital burnout, thereby supporting adolescents’ mental well-being.
