Abstract

In the digital era, adolescents are increasingly exposed to social media and online interactions, which increases the risk of experiencing Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), namely the anxiety that they are missing out on the social experiences of others. This study aims to determine the relationship between peer relationship quality and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) anxiety in adolescents. Using a quantitative cross-sectional method, involving 93 students selected by random sampling. Data were collected using the FQS and FoMOS questionnaires, and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents (73.1%) had a low quality of peer relationships. The level of FoMO was categorized as low (41.9%), moderate (37.6%), and high (20.4%). There is a significant relationship between the two variables (p=0.025). High-quality friendships are proven to be able to reduce FoMO levels and act as a psychological protector.
