Smartphones have a negative impact on changes in student behaviour; the social interaction that is done directly has turned into communication with the help of smartphones and internet access. The purpose of this study is to describe the contribution of FoMO to Phubbing in school. The sample consisted of 1534 male students (n = 646), female (n = 888) spread in junior high schools (n = 295), high schools (n = 734), and vocational high schools (n = 505), which was selected by using the Purposive Random Sampling technique. Data were collected through two questionnaires administered online, namely: (1) internet FoMO (Fear of Missing Out) instruments, and (2) Phubbing instruments. The instrument used was a Likert scale model, with five answer choices. The results showed that the contribution of internet FoMO (X) was significant towards phubbing behaviour (Y), seen from the contribution given by FoMO internet by 35.2% to students' phubbing behaviour. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
