Abstract

As an emerging field of social media platforms in recent years, the public has been paying more and more attention to their health issues, and at the same time, the problems of distorted information, varying quality of information, and public health anxiety have emerged one after another. Based on the questionnaire on "public’s behavior towards obtaining health information on the internet" designed in this study, statistical correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to obtain the behavioral characteristics of social media users, and it was found that the negative emotions triggered by the public’s access to the health information on the Internet tended to correlate significantly with the topic of the information they were concerned about, the type of publisher, and the subsequent behavior of the users after they had accessed the information and that the users’ different demographic and behavioral characteristics correlated significantly with their behavioral characteristics before and after accessing the health information. This study suggests that these user behavioral characteristics are significantly related to the topic of the information, the publisher type, and the subsequent behavior after accessing the information. This study suggests that these user behavioral characteristics are important for social media managers to develop more.
