Pearson correlation matrix among study variables (N = 306)

Variable123
1. Cyberloafing0.286**0.487**
2. FoMO0.286**0.334**
3. Smartphone addiction0.487**0.334**

Note(s): p < 0.01 (2-tailed)

The results of the correlation indicate that cyberloafing has a positive and significant relationship with both FoMO (r = 0.286, p < 0.01) and smartphone addiction (r = 0.487, p < 0.01). This indicates that students who experience greater FoMO and tend to be more addicted to their smartphones are more likely to be involved in cyberloafing. Additionally, FoMO and smartphone addiction are moving averagely correlated (r = 0.334, p < 0.01), which indicates that students who have higher fear of missing out experience this. Those who miss out are more likely to have greater smartphone addiction
