Purpose The purpose of this study is to characterize consumers with high impulse buying tendency (IBT) by comparing them with low-IBT consumers in an online shopping context. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a postal survey to a random sample of Swedish citizens, resulting in 144 responses, which were analysed statistically.. Findings Results indicate that high-IBT consumers, compared to those with low IBT, are on average younger, more likely to be female and more frequent online shoppers with higher levels of trust in the internet. However, they seem more likely than low-IBT consumers to abandon their online shopping carts before completing the purchase, often because of need uncertainty. Practical implications The findings can give retailers a better understanding of consumers with high IBT and thereby increase the possibility to target and communicate with them more effectively. This is an interesting opportunity as both multi-channel shopping and impulse buying behaviour is likely to become even more common in the future. Originality/value The study contributes to the understanding of impulsive consumers, as it addresses the role of situational and socio-demographic attributes of high-IBT consumers compared to low-IBT consumers. The differences in online purchases, intentions to buy fashion online, shopping cart abandonment and trust in the internet suggest that even if IBT is a relatively stable and general personal trait, the tendencies to act on buying impulses may be more context-specific.

With the development of technology and the emergence of the Internet, new markets for buying and selling have been created. Selling on the Internet was not done solely by business entities but also by individuals who started selling their products, hence gave rise to C2C purchase. This paper investigates how the risks of online purchase affect the intention of consumers further purchasing. The survey was carried out in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) and included 419 consumers. The conceptual model included six variables: purchase risk, product risk, online purchase application, online purchase self-efficiency, online purchase value, and further purchase intent. The established model was tested using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) and it was proven that the risks of online purchases do not affect directly the further purchase intent, but they indirectly affect other variables. Research has shown that consumers who are self-efficient in their purchases demonstrate greater intention for further online purchases, as well as consumers who find online shopping easier. Theoretically, this work contributes to a better understanding of how online shopping risks affect the intention of further online shopping in the C2C market. Also, paper in a practical way contributes to understanding the behavior of consumers on the C2C market, which can be used by sellers to improve this aspect of online purchase.

Summary Analysis of the statistical data indicates that 52% of people in Poland use the Internet on a regular basis - at least once a week - and the greatest activity is displayed by young people at the age of 16- 24 years - 91% of the whole. The income from e-commerce clearly increases year by year and its further dynamic growth is expected. The Internet contributed to changes in spending behavior of the consumers. The knowledge of them may play a very important role in developing e-strategy which might help to build up lasting competitive advantage. In the following study the author presents the results of her own survey concerning purchasing behaviors of young consumers and presents their possible implications

Abstract. Background: The Internet is used by young people at risk of self-harm to communicate, find information, and obtain support. Aims: We aimed to identify and analyze websites potentially accessed by these young people. Method: Six search terms, relating to self-harm/suicide and depression, were input into four search engines. Websites were analyzed for access, content/purpose, and tone. Results: In all, 314 websites were included in the analysis. Most could be accessed without restriction. Sites accessed by self-harm/suicide search terms were mostly positive or preventive in tone, whereas sites accessed by the term ways to kill yourself tended to have a negative tone. Information about self-harm methods was common with specific advice on how to self-harm in 15.8% of sites, encouragement of self-harm in 7.0%, and evocative images of self-harm/suicide in 20.7%. Advice on how to get help was given in 56.1% of sites. Conclusion: Websites relating to suicide or self-harm are easily accessed. Many sites are potentially helpful. However, a significant proportion of sites are potentially harmful through normalizing or encouraging self-harm. Enquiry regarding Internet use should be routinely included while assessing young people at risk.
