Hypothesis stated that there is likely to be relationship among SNS usage (seeking, friends, seeking convenience, seeking social support, seeking information and seeking entertainment), FoMO and psychosocial wellbeing (emotional wellbeing, social wellbeing and psychological wellbeing) among university students; there is likely to be the impact of demographic variables (gender, age, years of education, number of friends, usage of facebook, twitter, whatsapp, linkedin, Instagram, play games, texting, receiving mails, upload profiles, likening and comments) on psychosocial wellbeing (emotional wellbeing, social wellbeing and psychological wellbeing) among university students; SNS usage (seeking, friends, seeking convenience, seeking social support, seeking information and seeking entertainment) and FoMO are likely to be predictors of psychosocial wellbeing (emotional wellbeing, social wellbeing and psychological wellbeing) among university students; and FoMO is likely to be a mediator between SNS usage (seeking, friends, seeking convenience, seeking social support, seeking information and seeking entertainment) and psychosocial wellbeing (emotional wellbeing, social wellbeing and psychological wellbeing) among university students. The sample was consisted of N=200 university students (n= 100 male students and n=100 female students) from four universities (i.e. University of Management and Technology, University of Central Punjab, Forman Christian College and University of Lahore) with the age range of 18-26 years. Non-probability snowball sampling technique was used. Social Networking Sites Usage Scale (Kim, Sohn, & Choi, 2011), Fear of Missing Out Scale (Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan, & Gladwell, 2013) and Mental Health Continuum (emotional wellbeing, social wellbeing and psychological wellbeing) (Keyes, 1998) were used as assessment measures in this study. After calculating the descriptive and reliability xii values of the scales, the results of Pearson product correlation should that SNS usage has positive relation with FoMO and psychosocial wellbeing. While FoMO has negative relation with psychosocial wellbeing. Whereas, education has positive relation with psychological wellbeing, meanwhile number of friends has positive relation with social wellbeing. The results of regression PROCESS macro v3.4, (Hayes, 2019) showed that SNS usage and FoMO are the predictors of psychosocial wellbeing. FoMO is the mediator between the relationship of SNS usage and psychosocial wellbeing. This research implicates that increase in fear of missing out cause the decline in psychosocial wellbeing among university students, which compel them to use the social networking sites more to enhance their psychosocial wellbeing.
