Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a selective counseling program in reducing the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and its impact on decreasing social anxiety (SA) and Internet gaming disorder (IGD) among adolescent girls in Bisha Governorate. The research sample consisted of 22 students from the second grade of high school in Bisha Governorate schools. They were divided into two groups: 11 students representing the control group and 11 students representing the experimental group, who scored highest on the FoMO scale (developed by the researchers) and SA scale (Abdel-Rahman, & Abdel-Maqsoud, 1998), and IGD scale (developed by the researchers). The verbal intelligence test for secondary and university stage (Gaber, & Omar, 2007) was also administered. The selective counseling program (developed by the researchers) was implemented, and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used for data analysis. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the selective program in reducing the FoMO, social anxiety, and IGD among the experimental research sample. Additionally, the results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the pre- and post-test for FoMO scale, SA scale, and IGD scale.
