What is actually measured about viewers missing events or fearing they will miss events (FOMO) in 360-degree film, and which statements are only claims or hypotheses?

In the open full texts read, FOMO and missed events are asserted or hypothesised, not measured: the 2019 review hypothesises that guidance reduces fear of missing something, the 2017 abstract reports that some viewers seemed afraid of missing something and cites a case study (Syrett et al.) of missed storyline, and two practitioner accounts treat missing detail on a first viewing as expected. The measured CHI 2021 study (Aitamurto et al., 'From FOMO to JOMO') could not be fetched (ACM and UIC copies blocked or JS-gated), so its reported findings (a search snippet: FOMO did not reduce presence and fell on second viewing) are leads only. The closest measured proxy in retrieved texts is that over a third of viewers did not follow the best cue in a 32-person study.
