Abstract	The present study examined differences in resilience and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) among first born and last-born students, as well as gender differences in these variables. Resilience refers to the capacity to cope with stress and adapts to adversity, whereas FoMO involves anxiety about missing rewarding social experiences, often heightened by social media use. A quantitative descriptive research design was used. The sample consisted of 120 undergraduate and postgraduate students from Bareilly city, equally divided by birth order and gender, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Fear of Missing Out Scale (Przybylski et al., 2013) and the Resilience Scale by Vijaya Lakshmi and Shruti Narain (2015). Independent samples t-tests were applied to compare groups, and Pearson’s correlation was used to examine the relationship between resilience and FoMO. The findings indicated no significant differences between first born and last-born students, nor between males and females, on either resilience or FoMO. However, a moderate negative correlation was observed between resilience and FoMO, suggesting that higher resilience is associated with lower FoMO.
