Abstract
ABSTRACT Fear of missing out (FoMO) is a prominent phenomenon in the literature, and can play a significant role in activity participation behaviour of individuals. Although there are a growing number of studies exploring this phenomenon, the number of studies dealing with relationships among FoMO, sensation seeking, social media usage, and leisure activity participation is extremely limited. The basic aim of the study was to reveal the correlation between participation type and frequency in leisure activities with social media use habits, FoMO and sensation-seeking levels. Data were collected through an online survey method through a questionnaire about the type of activity attended in leisure time, frequency of participation, FoMO, senseation seeking and social media use habits. Data obtained from a sample of 1248 were analyzed. As a result of the corresponding analysis, individuals who frequently participate in leisure activities have higher FoMO and excitement seeking. According to the number of active friends on social media, a relationship was found between the frequency of social media usage, the status of that use, and the frequency of involvement in leisure activities. Likewise, it has been revealed that there are significant correlations between characteristics and the types and frequencies of engagement in leisure activities.
