Abstract

Cyberchondria is excessive online seeking of health-related information followed by distress. We aimed to examine the effects of cyberchondria and the credibility of the health-related sources on recall, and to investigate cyberchondria as a mediator between health anxiety (HA) and recall. Participants (N = 194) read about an alleged disease from sources of various credibility (high, low, neutral), filled in the HA Questionnaire and the Short Cyberchondria Scale, and recalled the information. No effect of source credibility on recall was found. Participants with high cyberchondria recalled more information, even when HA was controlled. Better recall in high HA was mediated by cyberchondria. A direct effect of HA on recall was found only for distorted recall of health information. This indicates different recall patterns in people with high HA depending on their cyberchondria, probably due to elaborated health schemas in cyberchondria, and to the disregard of source credibility in persons with high HA and low cyberchondria.
记住了什么?网络疑病症中健康相关信息的回忆与健康焦虑
网络疑病症是过度在网上搜索与健康相关的信息,随之而来的是痛苦。我们的目的是检验网络疑病和健康相关来源的可信度对回忆的影响,并调查网络疑病在健康焦虑(HA)和回忆之间的中介作用。参与者(N = 194)从各种可信度(高、低、中性)的来源阅读关于一种所谓疾病的信息,填写HA问卷和短网络疑病症量表,并回忆这些信息。来源可信度对召回没有影响。上网疑病症高的参与者回忆起更多的信息,即使是在HA得到控制的情况下。在高血凝素的情况下,更好的回忆是由网络疑病介导的。只有在扭曲的健康信息回忆中,发现HA对回忆有直接影响。这表明高HA患者的回忆模式不同,这取决于他们的网络疑病症,可能是由于网络疑病症中详细的健康图式,以及高HA和低网络疑病症患者对来源可信度的忽视。
