Very lately, this new phenomenon is
being discussed (JWT, 2011 & 2012;
Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan &
Gladwell, 2013):
Fear of Missing Out (FoMO)
„the uneasy and sometimes all-
consuming feeling that you’re missing
out — that your peers are doing, in the
know about or in possession of more or
something better than you.
FoMO may be a social angst that’s
always existed, but it’s going into
overdrive thanks to real-time digital
updates and to our constant
companion, the smartphone.”
(JWT, 2011, p. 5)
A new phenomenon?
ECPA 2015Bosau & Aelker: Who is affected by FoMO? 9
Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan & Gladwell (2013):
•  created „... items meant to reflect the fears, worries, and anxieties people may have in
relation to being in (or out of) touch with the events, experiences, and conversations
happening across their extended social circles.” (p. 1842)
•  started with 32 items, an interative process of several confirmative factor analyses lead
to a one factor solution with 25 final items (χ2 (275) = 1778.1, p < .01, RMSEA = .073,
SRMR = .056).
•  IRT-based analyses resulted in 10 final items:
•  I fear others have more rewarding experiences than me.
•  I fear my friends have more rewarding experiences than me.
•  I get worried when I find out my friends are having fun without me.
•  I get anxious when I don’t know what my friends are up to.
•  It is important that I understand my friends ‘‘in jokes’’.
•  Sometimes, I wonder if I spend too much time keeping up with what is going on.
•  It bothers me when I miss an opportunity to meet up with friends.
•  When I miss out on a planned get-together it bothers me.
•  When I have a good time it is important for me to share the details online (e.g. updating status).
•  When I go on vacation, I continue to keep tabs on what my friends are doing.
The only measurement instrument
ECPA 2015Bosau & Aelker: Who is affected by FoMO? 10
Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan & Gladwell (2013):
Ø  FoMO increases social media engagement (r = .40, p < . 001), is negatively associated
with general mood (r = -.24, p <.001) as well as overall life satisfaction (r = -.19, p < .
001)
Results from former studies
Bosau, Aelker & Amaadachou (2014):
Ø  FoMO leads to facebook addiction (β = .45, p < . 01)
Bosau & Müller (2015):
Ø  FoMO increases facebook engagement (r = .39, p < . 01) and by that leads indirectly to
lower study results (facebook à study results: r = -.23, p < .05)
Bosau & Kühn (2015):
Ø  FoMO is a very strong predictor of problematic mobile phone use and leads to habitual
checking behaviour (when being alone: β = .72, p < . 01 – when being in company: β = .
36, p < . 01 )
ECPA 2015Bosau & Aelker: Who is affected by FoMO? 11
Sample:
Ø  N = 100
Ø  Male = 36%, Female = 64%
Ø  Age: from 18 to 57, mean = 29,2, SD = 7,8
Ø  34% university degree, 44% “Abitur”, 22% lower than “Abitur”
This study
Samling strategy:
Ø  Recruited via Facebook (in December 2014)
Ø  374 klicks, 193 questionnaires started, 100 complete questionnaires

Ø  The original FoMO-scale by Przybylski et al. has several flaws, since it addresses and
mixes several aspects:
Ø  Emotional ratings (even regarding several different aspects)
Ø  Behavioural ratings (even more “active” vs. “passive” behaviour)
Ø  Other ratings
Ø  Removing the items, that do not address the construct perfectly, lead to better fit indices.
Ø  Based on the Przybylski et al. items: a 4-item-solution shows the best fit
Ø  Convergent and divergent validity indices improve likewise with the 4 item-solution.
Conclusion
Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) is an interesting construct that
could possibly explain a lot in online & social network
research.
However, we need better scales that define and measure the
construct more precisely.

  • 8. ECPA 2015Bosau & Aelker: Who is affected by FoMO? 8 Quelle: http://www.jwtintelligence.com Very lately, this new phenomenon is being discussed (JWT, 2011 & 2012; Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan & Gladwell, 2013): Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) „the uneasy and sometimes all- consuming feeling that you’re missing out — that your peers are doing, in the know about or in possession of more or something better than you. FoMO may be a social angst that’s always existed, but it’s going into overdrive thanks to real-time digital updates and to our constant companion, the smartphone.” (JWT, 2011, p. 5) A new phenomenon?
  • 9. ECPA 2015Bosau & Aelker: Who is affected by FoMO? 9 Przybylski, Murayama, DeHaan & Gladwell (2013): •  created „... items meant to reflect the fears, worries, and anxieties people may have in relation to being in (or out of) touch with the events, experiences, and conversations happening across their extended social circles.” (p. 1842) •  started with 32 items, an interative process of several confirmative factor analyses lead to a one factor solution with 25 final items (χ2 (275) = 1778.1, p < .01, RMSEA = .073, SRMR = .056). •  IRT-based analyses resulted in 10 final items: •  I fear others have more rewarding experiences than me. •  I fear my friends have more rewarding experiences than me. •  I get worried when I find out my friends are having fun without me. •  I get anxious when I don’t know what my friends are up to. •  It is important that I understand my friends ‘‘in jokes’’. •  Sometimes, I wonder if I spend too much time keeping up with what is going on. •  It bothers me when I miss an opportunity to meet up with friends. •  When I miss out on a planned get-together it bothers me. •  When I have a good time it is important for me to share the details online (e.g. updating status). •  When I go on vacation, I continue to keep tabs on what my friends are doing. The only measurement instrument

  • 21. ECPA 2015Bosau & Aelker: Who is affected by FoMO? 21 Ø  The original FoMO-scale by Przybylski et al. has several flaws, since it addresses and mixes several aspects: Ø  Emotional ratings (even regarding several different aspects) Ø  Behavioural ratings (even more “active” vs. “passive” behaviour) Ø  Other ratings Ø  Removing the items, that do not address the construct perfectly, lead to better fit indices. Ø  Based on the Przybylski et al. items: a 4-item-solution shows the best fit Ø  Convergent and divergent validity indices improve likewise with the 4 item-solution. Conclusion Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) is an interesting construct that could possibly explain a lot in online & social network research. However, we need better scales that define and measure the construct more precisely.
