Abstract:
Online Health Seeking (OHS) is widespread and widely studied, but its ideal fit in healthcare is still unclear. OHS is seemingly emblematic of patient self-interest and control and is an intuitive fit with the tenets of patient-centered care (PCC). Researchers have made only a few attempts to evidence or leverage this connection, focusing instead on describing the figures and typical characteristics of OHS. Finding, consuming and sharing online health and wellness information is one of the common online activities, and consumers are generally satisfied with their results despite using simple a

The late positive potential (LPP) is an event-related potential (ERP) component associated with increased affective processing which seems to strongly respond to threats and to be sensitive to emotional faces.

The facial width-to-height ratio (FWHR) is a facial-masculinity metric that refers to cheekbone width, divided by upper facial height (top of the lip to between the brows). Consequently, FWHR has by some researchers been proposed to serve as a cue of threat. For
