Surveys around this subject have weaknesses, this snippet from above sums up my feelings: "Another limitation derived from the self-reported nature of the questionnaires. Information reported by participants may have reflected socially desirable responses, rather than participants` true responses."
This is the big issue around this status / pride stuff. There's never going to be people admitting how they're sensitive about superficial things and there's this awkward silence to not break the fourth wall and talk about it. Lol
Why? Maybe because it's vulnerable self-disclosure and there wouldn't be reciprocity. If everybody went and said something like: "my primal fear is I won't be loved if I don't have status. I worry if I speak candidly about my feelings and attitudes, friends will abandon me. I feel I'm always caretaking to others and nobody cares about me. That's why I act out this way"

I keep seeing this, but how often is it true? I always answer these questionnaires honestly. The person who made it just wants some good data for their science. I've never felt a need to lie to them.
Your honest response could be drowned out by other's errors for innocuous reasons:
> response errors in surveys can occur because respondents misunderstand the questions, cannot retrieve all the relevant information, use inaccurate estimation and judgment strategies, round their answers, or have difficulty mapping them onto one of the response categories.
These go into survey responses to sensitive questions:
I'm straying off topic, they will try in various ways to bullet proof these surveys. I don't know, I think if a group of people are quizzed, there will be more incentive for people to not give accurate answers. Hm:
What if they come from a family where a guardian is an alcoholic but don't have a point of relation to compare to, and say it's fine at home? They haven't processed it yet.
OP's post linked to an article that mentions elsevier. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S074756320...
I keep seeing that name, it's related to Mendeley, an app for reading journals on smartphones.
Unfortunately it's 10-20 bucks to get the paper.
> Loneliness, envy
It seems to be a common theme in FOMO. This paper also tries to tie envy + loneliness <-> fomo: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/6a4f/4e27a55178bd1d9bd58744...
