AbstractWith the spread of information and communication technology (ICT), it has become a global trend to use the Internet or smartphones to find health information. However, less is known about whether ICT usage, specifically for information (e.g., searching information and reading news) is indeed linked to health behaviors, such as physical exercise and health monitoring activities. This study aimed to investigate the association between ICT usage for information and health (promoting) behaviors among middle-aged men and women in South Korea. Drawing on the Social Cognitive Theory, this study further examined the mediating role of self-efficacy in the association.Keywords: health, health behavior, ICT, middle-aged, self-efficacy
