COVID-19疫情为全球人民带来前所未有的不确定性。研究表明，互联网搜索导致矛盾的信息可能会导致更高程度的痛苦，特别是对于那些对不确定性（IU）具有高度不容忍性的人。在本相关性研究中，美国本科生（N = 317）指出了他们的IU，他们在线搜索COVID-19相关信息的频率，他们的整体健康焦虑，他们对COVID-19（FCV-19）的恐惧以及参与预防行为。与之前的研究一致，IU的个体差异调节了互联网搜索与FCV-19之间的关系，对于IU高的人来说，更多的互联网搜索与更大的恐惧相关。反过来，我们还发现，更大的FCV-19预测了更多的社交距离行为。这些发现对未来的心理健康和公共卫生举措都很重要。
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented levels of uncertainty for people around the world. Research suggests that internet searching resulting in contradictory information can lead to increased levels of distress, particularly for people who have a high intolerance of uncertainty (IU). In the present correlational study, U.S. undergraduate students (N = 317) indicated their IU, the frequency with which they search for COVID-19 related information online, their overall health anxiety, their fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19), and engagement in prevention behaviors. Consistent with previous research, individual differences in IU moderated the relationship between internet searches and FCV-19 such that for people high in IU, more internet searching was associated with greater fear. In turn, we also found that greater FCV-19 predicted more social-distancing behaviors. These findings are important in both future mental health and public health initiatives.
