FoMO Scale/Evidence
Method evidence record

FoMO Scale

The FoMO Scale is a 10-item self-report instrument that measures the extent to which individuals experience anxiety or apprehension about missing out on social events, experiences, or information shared by others, particularly in social media contexts. Developed by Przybylski and colleagues in 2013, it quantifies this contemporary psychological phenomenon that has become increasingly relevant with the proliferation of digital communication platforms.
