• Maladaptive cognitions, e.g. irrational beliefs, influence problematic internet use.

• Fear of missing out is an important antecedent of problematic internet use.

• Fear of missing out mediates between irrationality and problematic internet use.

• The relationships investigated here may go beyond current conceptualizations.

• The I-PACE model is very adequate for the study of maladaptive online behaviors.
