Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was polish adaptation and validation of a questionnaire measuring the state – FoMO (State Fear of Missing Out Inventory, SFoMOI). The validity of the tool was tested in particular by the analysis of correlation between state and trait FoMO as well as social desirability and life satisfaction among youth and young adults. As a result of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses the structure of the measure was derived.
Method: The sample of 361 participants, ranging in age from 15 to 25 years, took part in the study. All participants filled in four questionnaires: polish adaptation of the State Fear of Missing Out Inventory (SFoMOI), polish version of trait - FoMO scale (Fear of Missing Out scale, FoMOs), Social Desirability Questionnaire and Life Satisfaction Scale.
Results: One-factor solution of the questionnaire measuring state - FoMO as well as high reliability of the tool was identified. The results of the study indicate strong positive correlation between the intensity of trait – FoMO and state – FoMO (convergent validity), weak negative correlation between the intensity of state – FoMO and trait – FoMO and social desirability as well as between state – FoMO and life satisfaction (discriminant validity). Therefore questionnaire measuring state – FoMO is is a reliable and valid tool.
Conclusion: Polish adaptation of State Fear of Missing Out Inventory has satisfactory psychometric properties and is a valuable tool to assess this social phenomenon among youth and young adults.
