There were also statistically significant differences between male and female students in social anxiety in favor of the females. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the sample members in the total score of the social anxiety scale due to the secondary school year variable (first, second, and third grades). Furthermore, it was revealed that there were statistically significant differences between males and females in fear of missing out in favor of the male students. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the sample members in the total score of the social anxiety scale due to the secondary school year variable (first, second, or third grade).
