Hi!
You're in the wrong section here, you're in the "general" section of the layer styles (the blending options)
You need to specifically select "outer glow" in the left hand list:
See the highlighted section between your screenshot and mine
you'll find the options will change once you've done so.
It's an easy mistake to make...
Hope it helps!

Hi
You need to click on the Outer Glow tab to select it, it will highlight a lighter colour when it's selected
