Muhtasari	The Social Comparison Scale for online contexts measures the frequency and intensity with which individuals compare themselves to peers on social media platforms, with emphasis on upward comparison (to those perceived as superior in attractiveness, success, wealth). Developed and refined by researchers including Vogel and Wang in the 2010s, this scale specifically captures social media-driven comparison processes distinct from general social comparison orientation.	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.
