TI  - Adaptation of Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOs) to Dentistry
AB  - Background: The objective was to adapt the Fear of Missing Out
Scale (FoMOs) Scale developed by Przybylski et al in 2013 to
Turkish and to perform the validity and reliability study of this
scale.
Methods: This study was designed as a methodological study,
and the adapted questionnaire was completed by 1142 dental
students educating in 59 universities in Turkey. The answers
given were evaluated according to the original scale and its
validity and reliability were tested. Explanatory Factor Analysis
(EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed to
assess the construct validity of the form. The reliability of FoMOs
was tested through the Cronbach’s α internal consistency
coefficient, total item correlation, and test-retest analysis.
Results: Different from the original FOMO obtained in the study, it
consisted of 2 sub-dimensions and a total of 10 items. Item 10
was excluded owing to the low factor loads. Accordingly, the "10-
item scale" with two sub-dimensions was obtained. The 2 sub-
dimension scale structure found as a result of EFA was
supported by the result obtained in DFA. The Cronbach alpha
reliability coefficient was found to be 0.840 for the FoMOs total
score, 0.919 for the "trait" sub-dimension, and 0.718 for the
"state" sub-dimension.
Conclusion: This scale was made to define and analyze the
concept of FoMO in dentistry postgraduate career planning. The
current scale is a valuable and reliable tool to guide the idea
behind career planning and provides a great contribution to the
literature.
