5. Discussions
Positioned at the intersection of digital behavior and the psychology of communication, this research analyzed how impulsivity, urgency, and reactivity to notifications are intricately linked with FOMO in shaping online shopping tendencies among young adults. The mixed-methods framework employed allowed the identification of statistical associations and the uncovering of deeper patterns underlying these behaviors.
The quantitative component confirmed all six hypotheses for the sample group. FOMO showed robust positive correlations with impulsivity (H1), urgency perception (H2), and sensitivity to push notifications (H3), reinforcing the view that this construct acts as a core emotional amplifier in digital environments. In turn, impulsivity (H4), urgency (H5), and notification influence (H6) were significantly associated with self-reported online shopping frequency, which supports prior studies indicating that attentional reactivity and time-based pressure facilitate impulsive purchasing behaviors (
Przybylski et al., 2013;
Wohllebe et al., 2021;
Dholakia, 2000;
Bidargaddi et al., 2018).
Statistical findings indicate strong positive correlations between FOMO and both urgency perception (r = 0.86) and notification sensitivity (r = 0.87), alongside a moderate association with impulsivity (r = 0.38). These results align with previous research that frames FOMO as an emotional driver that intensifies reactivity to digital cues (
Djafarova & Bowes, 2021;
Özdemir et al., 2025;
Hodkinson, 2019). The data also confirm that all four psychological variables positively correlate with self-reported online shopping frequency, reinforcing the idea that attentional and emotional mechanisms are central to digital purchasing behavior (
Wohllebe et al., 2021;
Dholakia, 2000).
The significant correlation coefficients between FOMO and urgency (r = 0.86), and between FOMO and notification sensitivity (r = 0.87), reflect the extent to which emotionally vulnerable individuals may respond to time-limited offers and platform-generated alerts as pressing triggers. These findings corroborate the existing literature on the role of digital urgency cues in enhancing consumer responsiveness while undermining rational processing (
Barton et al., 2022;
Zhang et al., 2018;
Hamilton et al., 2018).
The qualitative data complement the statistical findings by revealing how participants cognitively processed their purchasing decisions.
Responses reflected cognitive distortions such as emotional reasoning, minimization, or dichotomous thinking (
Beck, 1976;
Burns, 1980;
Covin et al., 2011). For instance, individuals who claimed not to be influenced by digital stimuli described behaviors suggesting otherwise—such as reacting to discounts or checking daily app alerts. This supports the view that emotional and behavioral awareness is often misaligned, particularly in high-FOMO individuals (
Alt, 2015;
Elhai et al., 2016;
Przybylski et al., 2013;
Zhang et al., 2018;
Hamilton et al., 2018).
These cognitive tendencies indicate that consumer behavior is shaped not only by external digital stimuli but also by internal, emotionally charged reasoning patterns. This is in line with the previous literature identifying cognitive–affective dissonance as a key mechanism in digital overconsumption (
Alt, 2015;
Good & Hyman, 2020;
Elhai et al., 2020).
The findings also underscore how emotional factors—such as excitement, or urgency—can increase consumers’ susceptibility to digital marketing tactics. While rational justifications were frequently invoked by participants, the emotional valence of notifications, scarcity, and discounts emerged as strong behavioral motivators in their answers—often more powerful than conscious intent. This reinforces previous conclusions that consumer decisions are shaped by affective dynamics masked as rational choices (
Verplanken & Herabadi, 2001;
Hamilton et al., 2018). Such findings support the broader view that digital consumption cannot be understood without accounting for underlying emotional and motivational mechanisms (
Milyavskaya et al., 2018;
Arnett, 2004;
Arnett et al., 2014). For example, thematic coding in Question 3 indicates a notable divergence between perceived autonomy and actual responsiveness to digital stimuli. One third of respondents (33.3%) exhibited defensive neutrality, rejecting influence while describing reactive behaviors; 28.9% denied any influence, while 23.2% acknowledged being affected, either behaviorally or reflectively. These findings reflect a dissonant cognitive dynamic in the target group that may hinder conscious self-regulation (
Elhai et al., 2020;
Alt, 2015;
Arnett et al., 2014). The prevalence of implicit susceptibility despite declarative disengagement supports the idea that autonomy narratives obscure the influence of subtle digital cues (
Milyavskaya et al., 2018;
Barton et al., 2022).
The qualitative findings indicate that online shopping among young adults is primarily driven by functional motives such as convenience (21.32%) and time efficiency (20.93%), while emotional or trend-based factors play a lesser role. Despite dismissing the impact of notifications, participants often displayed behaviors indicating subtle influence. Responses to time-limited discounts revealed an emotional bifurcation—initial excitement followed by regret, highlighting FOMO’s destabilizing role. Most participants lacked conscious coping strategies, relying instead on passive mechanisms like avoidance or denial. These results underscore a cognitive–emotional gap between perceived control and actual behavior in digital commerce contexts, with limited emotional regulation capacity.
From a theoretical perspective, this study supports the notion that FOMO acts as a central psychological disposition that interacts with digital affordances (e.g., notifications, time-limited offers) to amplify consumer responsiveness. While the cross-sectional design prevents causal inferences, the consistency between quantitative correlations and qualitative accounts strengthens the argument that emotional and attentional factors deserve greater focus in digital consumer research.
Practically, these results suggest that app developers, communication specialists and marketers should be aware of the psychological cost of constant connectivity, particularly for vulnerable users. While urgency-based marketing (e.g., “limited-time offer”) may be effective, it also raises ethical concerns, especially when it leads to financial overextension or emotional distress.

Defensive Neutrality and Controlled Self-Image | Respondents frequently claim to be uninfluenced (e.g., “Nu mă afectează”—I’m not affected), yet describe behaviors (e.g., checking apps, reacting to discounts) that imply subtle or indirect influence. |
Commodification of Emotion | Positive feelings such as satisfaction, joy, or relief are consistently tied to discounted purchases (“M-am bucurat”, “Am fost mulțumit(ă)”), revealing emotional reasoning patterns. |
Contradictory Self-Perceptions (Emotional Bifurcation) | Many present themselves as rational decision-makers (“Nu cumpăr impulsiv”—I do not buy impulsively), while simultaneously reporting actions indicative of FOMO or compulsivity (“Am cumpărat chiar dacă nu aveam nevoie”—I bought it although I did not need it). |
Lack of Coping Strategies | The majority of participants admitted to having no real strategy to manage impulsive buying urges, relying instead on intuition, momentary avoidance, or denial. |
