Trust when online shopping (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka faktorer som bidrar till att konsumenter känner tillit till sina enheter vid onlineshopping. Studien avgränsas till datorer och smartphones, och den undersöker även om det finns medietekniska lösningar för att öka tilliten till enheterna. Studiens resultat baseras på en tematisk analys av semistrukturerade intervjuer som hölls med elva studenter vid Medieteknikprogrammet på KTH. Resultatet visade att tio av de intervjuade föredrog att handla via datorn när de onlinehandlade. Några av de bidragande faktorerna till detta är att konsumenten lättare kommer åt information på hemsidan i och med den stora skärmen. Mobilsidor upplevs, enligt deltagarna, som mer plottrig, till följd av den lilla skärmen. Dessutom upplevde deltagarna det som smidigare att byta mellan olika flikar på datorn, än vad det är på en smartphone. Studien startade med att undersöka huruvida tillit påverkade valet av enhet vid onlineshopping, men resultatet påvisar att det handlar mer om kontroll än tillit. Slutsatsen är att tillgång till information är den största anledningen till att man föredrar att använda datorn över en smartphone.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that contribute to consumers putting trust in their devices when shopping online. The study is limited to computers and smartphones, and it also examines whether there are solutions within the field of media technology to increase trust in the devices. The results of the study are based on a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews held with eleven students from the chapter of Media Technology at KTH. The results showed that ten of the interviewees preferred to use their computer when shopping online. Some of the contributing factors to this are that the consumer can access information more easily on the website with the big screen. According to the participants, mobile pages are perceived as more cluttered because of the small screen. In addition, the participants felt that it was easier to switch between different tabs on the computer, than it is on a smartphone. The study started by examining whether trust influenced the choice of unit when shopping online, but the results show that it is more about control than trust. The conclusion is that access to information is the biggest reason why one prefers to use the computer over a smartphone.
