Abstract
This paper is based on the rapid development of new media in the context of the new era, and the anxiety emotions generated by different age groups are different. This paper speculates that there is a mutual influence between internal anxiety and internet information among different age groups. So this paper conducts a survey and research on the impact of different age groups on the sources and manifestations of inner anxiety, to explore the relationship between inner anxiety and new media among different age groups, and how to face the impact of this new media on mentality. This paper mainly adopts three research methods. They are namely interview method, questionnaire method, literature research method. The research results show that young people are more susceptible to the influence of internet information, while those over the age of thirty are relatively less affected by internet information. The research ultimately found that age has a certain impact on inner anxiety, and this impact gradually decreases with age. The sensitivity of the group aged 30 and above to internet information is not lower than that of the relatively younger group. However, due to their different social and life experiences, they are relatively less influenced by the internet.
