The authors analyze preferences of devices enabling access to social media among the Polish internauts aged 15+, in regard to the “fear of missing out” (FOMO) phenomenon. The results of the representative, quantitative survey (CAWI) concerning the selection of devices and tools being used were analyzed according to demographic variables: age, sex, and place of living. The study concluded with a statement that due to huge interest of youth in the internet in mobile technologies, the variable most differentiating the selection of devices is the users’ age. Respondents from the socalled high FOMO group use mobile devices more often, as well as the devices less popular in general population, like smartwatches or consoles.

Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) is a growing problem that arouses interest from scientists, media and recipients. Therefore, finding a universal way to calculate the scale of the phenomenon can not only become a common tool for estimating the extent of FOMO occurrence in any country, but also can be considered for managing this phenomenon. The article presents the results of measuring the FOMO scale in Poland in 2018. The project applied a Computer Assisted Web Interview survey of the representative sample (N=1060) of Poland’s internet users aged 15 years plus. Three groups of ‘FOMO level’ characteristics were determined (age was the most influential variable). The original method of recalculation of the FOMO scale results from figures to percentage data was developed in order to present the FOMO scale index. The FOMO items showed good internal consistency and reliability Cronbach’s α = .89, thus complementing previous international studies.
