摘要

网络疑病症是一种反复在网上搜索健康信息的模式,尽管其目的是缓解焦虑,但会产生不利的心理后果。这一现象与当前的大流行尤其相关,这种大流行伴随着不确定性和恐惧程度的增加,这可能导致互联网上的卫生信息搜索量增加,以及网络疑病症。本研究的第一个目的是测试塞尔维亚语版网络疑病症严重程度量表(CSS-12)和短网络疑病症量表(SCS)的因素结构、信度和收敛效度。第二个目的是测试网络疑病症对伪科学实践(PSP)和补充/替代医学(CAM)使用的直接影响,以及通过阴谋心理(CMQ)产生的间接影响。样本包括来自塞尔维亚普通人群的511名参与者(73.6%为女性)。结果支持CSS-12的足够的α信度和四因素结构,以及SCS的单因素结构,并与健康焦虑(HAQ)、网络成瘾(IAT)和强迫症状(OCI-R Obsessions)呈正相关,与自尊(单项目量表)负相关。此外,综合网络疑病症评分对两种有问题的健康习惯都有直接和间接的影响。我们的研究结果揭示了阴谋心理是网络病症与PSP/CAM使用相关的可能机制之一。它源于与网络疑病症相关的痛苦,并导致采用psp或CAM作为在不确定情况下保持控制感的工具的可能性增加。

Cyberchondria and Questionable Health Practices: The Mediation Role of Conspiracy Mentality
Cyberchondria is a pattern of repetitive search for health information online, which has adverse psychological consequences in spite of its intention to relieve anxiety. This phenomenon is particularly relevant in the current pandemic accompanied by increased levels of uncertainty and fear, which can lead to increased volume of health information search on the internet, as well as cyberchondria. The first objective of this study was to test the factor structure, reliability, and convergent validity of Serbian adaptations of the Cyberchondria Severity Scale (CSS-12) and the Short Cyberchondria Scale (SCS). The second aim was to test the direct effects of cyberchondria on pseudoscientific practices (PSP) and the use of complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) as well as its indirect effects through conspiracy mentality (CMQ). The sample included 511 participants (73.6% women) from Serbia, from the general population. The results support the adequate alpha reliabilities and four-factor structure of CSS-12 and the single-factor structure of SCS, as well as their positive correlations with health anxiety (HAQ), internet addiction (IAT), and obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCI-R Obsessions) and a negative correlation with self-esteem (a single-item scale). Additionally, the composite cyberchondria score had both direct and indirect effects on both questionable health practices. Our results revealed conspiracy mentality as one of the possible mechanisms through which cyberchondria is related to the use of PSP/CAM. It stems from distress related to cyberchondria and leads to an increased likelihood of adopting PSPs or CAM as a tool for maintaining a sense of control in an uncertain situation.
