Psychological Prisoners: FoMO and Cyberloafing in Professional Settings

Abdullah ALDEMİR published this social science dataset in 2026 to examine the non-linear relationships between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), cyberloafing, and social media addiction. The data focuses on identifying behavioral threshold effects and digital dependency tipping points specifically within professional environments.

Use Cases

• Identifying tipping points for social media addiction using behavioral threshold data
• Validating the I-PACE model's application to professional digital dependency

Strengths

• Grounded in the I-PACE model and Compensatory Internet Use Theory
• Focuses on professional environments to identify workplace digital dependency
• Designed to capture non-linear behavioral threshold effects

Limitations

• Specific sample size and demographic details are not provided in the source metadata
• Likely relies on self-reported psychological metrics which can introduce response bias
• Temporal scope is limited to the study period
