Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh tingginya penggunaan media sosial di kalangan mahasiswa rantau yang berpotensi memunculkan Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), yaitu perasaan cemas dan takut tertinggal dari pengalaman sosial orang lain. Kondisi tersebut diduga berkaitan dengan tingkat Psychological Well-Being mahasiswa, khususnya dalam proses adaptasi di lingkungan perantauan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara Fear of Missing Out dan Psychological Well-Being pada mahasiswa rantau Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana (UKSW). Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 100 mahasiswa rantau UKSW yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen pengumpulan data berupa Fear of Missing Out Scale yang dikembangkan oleh Przybylski et al. (2013) dan Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale yang telah diadaptasi. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson Product Moment dengan bantuan SPSS versi 25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara Fear of Missing Out dan Psychological Well-Being (r = 0,928; p = 0,000). Artinya, tingkat Fear of Missing Out memiliki keterkaitan yang sangat kuat dengan kondisi Psychological Well-Being mahasiswa rantau. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa Fear of Missing Out merupakan salah satu faktor psikologis yang berhubungan dengan kesejahteraan psikologis mahasiswa rantau. Implikasi penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya pengelolaan penggunaan media sosial secara adaptif guna mendukung kesejahteraan psikologis mahasiswa rantau.

This study is motivated by the high use of social media among migrant students, which has the potential to trigger Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), namely feelings of anxiety and fear of being left behind from others’ social experiences. This condition is suspected to be related to students’ levels of psychological well-being, particularly in the process of adapting to a new environment away from home. This study aims to examine the relationship between fear of missing out and psychological well-being among migrant students at Satya Wacana Christian University (UKSW).The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research subjects consisted of 100 migrant students at UKSW selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using the Fear of Missing Out Scale developed by Przybylski et al. (2013) and the adapted Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test with the assistance of SPSS version 25.The results showed a significant relationship between fear of missing out and psychological well-being (r = 0.928; p = 0.000). This indicates that the level of fear of missing out has a very strong association with the psychological well-being of migrant students. These findings suggest that fear of missing out is one of the psychological factors related to the psychological well-being of migrant students. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of managing social media use adaptively to support the psychological well-being of migrant students.
