Abstract :
Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) is a significant psychological phenomenon among young adults, particularly influenced by social media. This study explores FoMO in the context of emerging adulthood, a developmental phase from ages 18 to 25 marked by identity exploration and decision-making. To fill this gap, we developed a comprehensive FoMO measurement tool based on Przybylski et al.’s (2013) framework. This tool underwent a two-phase assessment process: first, through Content Validity Index (CVI) evaluations by experts, and second, through item discrimination testing with emerging adults. The findings aim to provide deeper insights into the emotional, behavioral, and social dimensions of FoMO, ultimately contributing to better mental health outcomes for young adults navigating this critical developmental stage.
