摘要
网络信息的纷繁复杂,让人们担忧因错失信息而导致自身的利益受损,本研究探讨这种现象的加剧对个体的亲社会行为的影响。本研究分别使用问卷法(研究1)和实验法(研究2),探究错失恐惧对亲社会行为的影响以及在其过程中人际安全感的中介作用和基本心理需要满足的调节作用。结果发现:(1)个体的错失恐惧程度负向预测了其亲社会行为;(2)人际安全感在错失恐惧对亲社会行为的影响中起中介作用,高的错失恐惧水平会降低个体的人际安全感,从而减少个体的亲社会行为;(3)基本心理需要满足在错失恐惧对亲社会行为的负向预测作用中起调节作用,当个体的基本心理需要满足程度低的时候,错失恐惧对亲社会行为的消极影响显著增强。
Fear of Missing Out(FOMO)refers to the pervasive apprehension due to worries that others might be experiencing fantastic stories or positive events from which one is absent.Prosocial behavior not only benefits the recipient,but also promotes the harmonious relationship between the helper and recipient or society.The fear of missing out has been improved compared to the past in the process of the rapid development of internet social media.Therefore,in the context of the increasingly rich social media information,the present study explored the impact of the fear of missing out on prosocial behavior,and pays attention to the mechanism of interpersonal security and basic psychological need satisfaction.The present study supplied the experimental method of the fear of missing out and expanded the scope of research on prosocial behavior.In this context,the present study combined a questionnaire survey(study 1)and an experimental design(study 2)to investigate the effect of the FOMO on prosocial behavior,and also examined the mediation role of interpersonal security and the moderation role of basic psychological need satisfaction.A sample of 182(male=88,48.4%)Chinese college students participated in study1,they were asked to complete a questionnaire measuring the FOMO,prosocial behavior,interpersonal security and basic psychological need satisfaction.Using an experimental,study 2 manipulated the FOMO with hypothetical scenarios.A total of 80 Chinese college students(male=40,50%)were randomly divided into two groups(FOMO vs.control)to read the scenarios about the fear of missing out or control condition,and to completed questionnaire about interpersonal security and basic psychological need satisfaction,then they finished two items to evaluate their prosocial behavior.Date were collected andanalyzed with SPSS 20.0,and bootstrap method was used to examine the mediating roles of interpersonal security and the moderating roles of basic psychological need satisfaction between the fear of missing out and prosocial behavior.The results of study 1 and study 2 indicated that the fear of missing out significantly and negatively predicted prosocial behavior.Moreover,the interpersonal security significantly mediated the negative relationship between prosocial behavior and the fear of missing out.In addition,the basic psychological need satisfaction significantly moderated the negative relationship between prosocial behavior and the fear of missing out.Specifically,compared with those in high-basic psychological need satisfaction,the fear of missing out would more strongly predict prosocial behavior in the low-basic psychological need satisfaction.In sum,these findings highlight the mechanism underlying the relationship between the fear of missing out and prosocial behavior.The fear of missing out negatively predicts prosocial behavior through mediating roles of interpersonal security and the basic psychological need satisfaction moderate such relationship.The present study gives some suggestions on dealing with the fear of missing out and improving prosocial behavior in the real world.Individuals and society should seek or provide measures to increase the individual’s basic psychological need satisfaction to prevent the negative effects of the fear of missing out on prosocial behavior from being exacerbated.
