Employing a cross-sectional research design, this study utilized a paper\u2013pencil form to collect data from 315 students (65.4% undergraduate and 66.3% females) between 18 and 32 (Mage = 22.43; SD = 3.81) studying at a state university in T\u00fcrkiye. Data were collected through the convenience sampling method. The study was designed as a survey model. This design was tested via mediation analysis. The participants completed self-report assessments using the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOs), General Procrastination Scale (GPS-9), and Young Internet Addiction Scale (short form). The findings showed that FoMO had a significant positive direct effect on both procrastination (R2 = 0.13) and internet addiction (R2 = 0.33). Procrastination also had a significant positive direct effect on internet addiction (R2 = 0.34). Additionally, procrastination mediated the relationship between the fear of missing out and internet addiction (\u03b2 = 0.156, p &lt; 0.001). These findings not only extend the scope of existing research but also hold practical implications for the development of sustainable interventions. It is believed that the findings will contribute to the consideration of procrastination when preparing psychoeducation or group guidance programs for internet addiction. These interventions can effectively address the process through which fear of missing out leads to internet addiction by considering the significant role of procrastination in students. Findings typically suggest that procrastination behavior is a key factor in explaining the association between FoMO and internet addiction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21010049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,29]],"date-time":"2023-12-29T06:18:13Z","timestamp":1703830693000},"page":"49","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["The Mediating Role of Procrastination in the Relationship between Fear of Missing Out and Internet Addiction in University Students"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Abdullah","family":"Manap","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Batman University, Batman 72000, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6229-6463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amelia","family":"Rizzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Cognitive Sciences, Psychological, Educational, and Cultural Studies, University of Messina, 98100 Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullah","family":"Y\u0131ld\u0131rmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Relations, Batman University, Batman 72000, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6205-1247","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00dcmit","family":"Dilek\u00e7i","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Development, Batman University, Batman 72000, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1089-1380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Murat","family":"Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Science and Letters, Agri Ibrahim Cecen University, A\u011fr\u0131 04100, T\u00fcrkiye"},{"name":"Graduate Studies and Research, Lebanese American University, Beirut 1102 2801, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lopez-Fernandez, O.
