This correlational study examines the phenomenon of the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO) in relation to age and gender perspectives. The research aims to understand how individuals experience JOMO, characterized by nding ful llment in disconnecting from social activities and digital distractions. A group of 87 participants, spanning two age groups (15–25 and 35–45) and both genders, completed the JOMO Scale questionnaire. The ndings indicate a signi cant difference in JOMO experience between the age groups, with older individuals (35–45) reporting higher levels of JOMO compared to younger individuals (15–25). However, gender did not
signi cantly in uence JOMO experience, suggesting that both males and females exhibit similar tendencies to embrace JOMO. These results highlight the importance of considering age-related differences in JOMO experience and suggest potential interventions to promote well-being across different demographic groups. Further research is recommended to explore additional factors shaping individuals' experiences of JOMO.
