FOMO or fear of missing out potentially pleasing experiences has gained relevance for its close relationship with social networks. Therefore, this study aims to approach the FOMO as a mediator variable that relates Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Subjective Wellbeing (antecedent variables) with Social Media Engagement (output variable). This model is based on the propose of Przybylski et al., (2013). The research sample was 406 Peruvian university students. The instruments used for the measurement had optimal psychometric characteristics: Fear of missing out Scale (FOMO) (Przybylski et al., 2013), Social Media Engagement Questionnaire (SMEQ) (Przybylski et al., 2013), Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) (Chen et al., 2015), Satisfaction with Life Scale (ESV) (Diener et al., 1985) and Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANA) (Watson et al., 1988). The model used the analysis strategy proposed by Preacher and Hayes (2008) through hierarchical regressions that controlled for the variables of age and sex. General analysis reported that the indirect effect of the antecedent variables mediated by the FOMO represents 14.7% of the Social Media Engagement in the sample. Additionally, differences in FOMO levels were found between students of Letters and Sciences degrees, the former being the ones who experienced it the most. This research has made FOMO visible in Peruvian university students and has provided a new approach to understand how people relate to virtual platforms.
