Research model applied to figure 1 consists of six variables. Three of them relate to information seekers, psychological ill-being and behavioral intention to continue COVID-19 information searching. From the research model above, there are 8 hypotheses developed: Hypothesis 1: receive online pandemic COVID-19 information too much is related with negative affect positively. Hypothesis 2: recieve online pandemic COVID-19 information too much is related with depressive symptoms positively. Hypothesis 3: receive online pandemic COVID-19 information too much is related with trait anexiety positively. Hypothesis 4: receive online pandemic COVID-19 information too much is related with trait anger positively. Hypothesis 5: trait anger is related with behavioral motivation to continue online pandemic COVID-19 information searching negatively. Hypothesis 6: Negative affect is related with behavioral motivation to continue online pandemic COVID-19 information searching action negatively. Hypothesis 7: Depressive Symptoms is related with behavioral motivation to continue online pandemic COVID-19 information searching negatively. Hypothesis 8: Trait anxiety is related with behavioral motivation to continue online pandemic For Questionare, variable recieve information overload question was using the seven item instruments adapted version that developed by Chen et al.

Table above shows the assessment of the measurement model. Composite rileability because of limitation Cronbach's alpha used for Internal consistency reliability investigation [16]. Constructs table 2 are above the 0.7. That show each construct had enough item reliability. Next, for average variance extracted (AVE) for convergent validity. AVE value need more than equal 0.5 value to meet the criteria [17]. Table below shown that AVE for every construct had enough correlation value. All item fit properly and greater than itself nor all other construct. This shows discriminant validity proper.     6 motive to continue using the information search. This research verify models and hypotheses using information collection and survey data theory that collected from Indonesia.
Accordance summary result, receive online pandemic COVID-19 information too much in Indonesia is related to trait anexity and depressive symptoms negatively.
