About

Zichen Zhang is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of psychology, technology, and artificial intelligence. Zhang's most notable contribution to date is the development of a novel psychometric instrument — the Fear of Missing Out on AI (FoMO-AI) scale — published in 2025. This pioneering work addresses a timely and underexplored phenomenon: the psychological anxiety individuals experience when they perceive themselves as falling behind in an era defined by rapid AI advancement. By adapting and extending the well-established FoMO framework to the specific context of artificial intelligence, Zhang has opened a new avenue for understanding how pervasive AI discourse shapes human behavior, motivation, and emotional well-being. Already accumulating 4 citations shortly after publication, the scale has demonstrated early traction within the research community and holds significant potential for application in fields ranging from educational psychology to organizational behavior and digital well-being. Zhang's work reflects a forward-thinking scholarly orientation, positioning them as a researcher attuned to the psychological dimensions of one of the most transformative technological shifts of our time.
