TI - The Credibility of Online Information from the Perspective of Women Suffering with Eating Disorders
N2 - The use of online information can have a substantial impact on people suffering with eating disorders (ED). The quality of online information may differ, thus the evaluation of this information in terms of credibility can be crucial. Therefore, this qualit ative study focused on the evaluation of the credibility of online information from the perspective of young women who suffer with ED. Thematic analysis was used to analyse 30 individual interviews with women aged 16 - 28 who suffer with ED. The themes relat ed to the individual characteristics of these women (e.g., motivation, exposure to information, and abilities and resources) and the character of the cues they use in their credibility evaluation (e.g., content credibility cues, characteristics of other us ers, and website credibility cues) were described. Moreover, the role of ED phases were depicted within all of the themes. The findings are discussed with regard to the individual specifics related to ED and the importance of social elements in the credibi lity evaluation. These elements were prevalent throughout most of the themes; however their role in the evaluation differed according to personal characteristics and especially the ED phase
