It was expected people could determine whom the Oscar winner is, and they can detect whether a smile is genuine or not. Two perception tests were conducted where 31 participants viewed several fragments of winning or losing actors/actresses. In the first perception test their task was to identify in which of the two fragments the actor/actress won. Results show participants were indeed able to determine in which of the two fragments the actor/actress won. During the second perception test they had to assess how genuine the shown smile was. Their scores were compared with scores of the researchers and results show there were no significant differences between those scores, indicating the participants were able to detect whether a smile is genuine or not

Keeping in touch with family and friends became easier than ever due to increase of mobile media use. However, dependency on mobile phones leads to a new psychology phenomenon, Fear of Missing out (FOMO). FOMO is a syndrome describing the user of mobile media as being afraid of missing out important information or events. Following the latest studies related to mobile media addiction and FOMO, this research is a pilot study that aims to investigate the evidence of anxiety levels in FOMO being related to the amount of time spend by phone usage. The results have shown a positive correlation trend between the two variables which is in line with the hypothesis of the study. However, caution should be considered for future studies since this research is only a pilot study.
