    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] In order to measure the degree of social media FoMO effectively and to provide the preliminary basis for related research, a robust and practical FoMO measurement scale has been designed. [Method/process] Firstly, through in-depth interviews with college students to obtain the original data, the FoMO preliminary scale has been prepared based on the key characteristics of FoMO extracted from the grounded theory encoding. Then, the initial scale has been used to obtain sample data, and optimized to form a formal scale. Finally, the FoMO degree category is determined by cluster analysis and the FoMO degree of specific users is determined based on the measured data. [Result/conclusion] The formal FoMO scale of 30 projects has been developed from four dimensions: situational features, behavioral characteristics, result characteristics and psychological characteristics. A relatively stable category of FoMO level has been formed, and 105 undergraduates have been selected from three universities to measure the degree of FoMO.

    Abstract: [Purpose/significance] This paper makes a sorting and review on the existing experimental study of online health information seeking behavior, and makes some specific proposal on future experiment research's extended application, aiming to provide some references for the selection of follow-up study.[Method/process] This paper used qualitative data analysis software to analyze the content of the 41 research literatures on experimental study of online health information seeking behavior, and sorted out 4 aspects of behavior influence factor, behavior type, behavior situation and behavior group characteristics. Through the specific analysis, the experimental content and future extended application's research directions were discussed in detail.[Result/conclusion] On the basis of the totalization of behavior influence factor, the depth of behavior type, the diversification of behavior situation, the multi-dimensional and detail of behavior group characteristics, the future research directions of online health information seeking behavior experiment should focus on those aspects:the applying method of experimental research in real environment, the comparative study of mobile and cross-screen search of health information, the differentiation analysis of especial situation and group and so on.
