Effects of interactivity on young adults' comprehension of online health content Abstract: The Internet is growing in popularity as a health information source especially among young adults. Interactivity has been pinpointed as the key feature that makes the Internet a potentially powerful health communication tool. It is being heralded as a hybrid channel that has the capacity not only to disseminate health information to mass audiences both asynchronously and synchronously, but also has the capacity to provide an engaging and stimulating environment that can promote exploratory learning and active processing of information. Despite these exciting claims, there is still a dearth of theoretically-driven empirical studies providing support for or against these assumptions. We still know very little about how interactive technologies actually influence information use, learning and motivational processes. |
