<![CDATA[This study aimed to determine the effect of group counseling services using cognitive restructuring techniques in reducing Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) among students at SMA X Pekanbaru. The study employed a One Group Pretest-Posttest experimental method involving 6 students with high FoMO levels. Data were collected through a valid and reliable FoMO questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.722). After participating in six counseling sessions, the results of the Wilcoxon and N-Gain analyses indicated a significant reduction in FoMO levels. The cognitive restructuring technique helped students transform irrational thoughts into more rational ones and improve self-control in social media use. Therefore, group counseling services using cognitive restructuring techniques were proven effective in reducing students’ FoMO levels.]]>
