초록

Purpose: This study investigated the influencing factors of COVID-19 infection anxiety, impulsivity, and decisionmaking type on health information-seeking behavior on the internet. Methods: This study was conducted by 178 college students of 5 cities in Korea using a self-reporting survey with structured questionnaires of COVID-19 anxiety, impulsiveness, decision-making style, and health information-seeking behavior on the internet. SPSS 25 was used for the statistical analysis. Results: The results showed that non-planning impulsivity(ß=-.25, p<.001), dependent decision-making types(ß=.23, p<.001), and COVID-19 infection anxiety(ß=.22, p=.001) had statistically significant effects on health information-seeking behavior on the internet with 33.6% overall explanatory power. Conclusion: Findings of this study indicate that college students’ dependent decision-making types, COVID-19 infection anxiety had a positive effect, and non-planning impulsivity had a negative effect on health information-seeking behavior on the internet. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to identify and compare health information-seeking behavior on the internet based on infection and self-quarantine experiences.
