This study aimed to investigate how epistemic beliefs function in Internet reading, utilizing the concept of epistemic processing. Epistemic processing refers to the cognitive and metacognitive reading activities involved in verifying and evaluating information, as well as monitoring and regulating the knowledge-construction process. The study analyzed the epistemic processing in Internet reading of two readers with different levels of epistemic beliefs, who showed varying outcomes in constructing perspectives. By comparing and describing how the processes of locat- ing, evaluating, and synthesizing information differed depending on each reader’s epistemic judgments, monitoring, and regulation, the study indi- rectly confirmed the role of epistemic beliefs in Internet reading
