Finally, we built a conceptual model under the research framework of S-O-R theory.［Findings/Conclusion］Information factors and environmental factors could generate positive and negative emotional cognition under the adjustment of user ability characteristics. Among them, negative emotional cognition would cause users’ information anxiety of different degrees and properties.［Originality/Value］The examination of users’ information anxiety behaviors in the context of fragmented reading could enrich the research perspectives of users’ emotional experience during reading, which is conducive to strengthening users’ attention and understanding of information anxiety behaviors.
