The use of the Internet for health elicited a phenomenon called as "cyberchondria" which is characterized by an excessive and escalated seek for health-related information on the Web while feeling increased distress or anxiety, and a need to get reassurance (Starcevic 2017; Starcevic and Berle 2013; White and Horvitz 2009) . Furthermore, by considering the changes in health-related problems as people age, this study will contribute to the related literature by comparing the young and middle adulthood samples in terms of proposed model and thus exploring which associations are significantly stronger in the development of cyberchondria across samples. Taken together, these results support previous research findings showing that individuals with symptoms of AS or HA use the Internet to search for health-related information which may result in cyberchondria (e.g., Mathes et al.	./cache/cord-343499-rdlfm27v.txt	./txt/cord-343499-rdlfm27v.txt
