NOTE333 Online grocery shopping has been a significantly growing industry under e-commerce by changing customer behavior, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. As the transition of grocery shopping from brick-and-mortar stores to online channels has progressed, it has become essential to understand customer behavior. In this context, we first aimed to understand factors that affect customers' online grocery shopping behavior. The theory of planned behavior was employed to determine these factors. The conceptual framework was also extended by different constructs in light of previous studies. The effects of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk were assessed to understand the buying intention and behavior. This paper also aimed to understand how these constructs may differ between customers in developed and developing countries since no studies have been found comparing customers in different regions. In this context, the UK and Turkey were chosen as representative countries. An online survey was prepared, and data were collected from 231 respondents from Turkey and 224 from the UK and analyzed employing regression and T-Tests analyses. Findings indicated that all the mentioned constructs except perceived risk significantly affected the purchase intention. Among them, the attitude was observed to be the dimension with the largest effect. It was also found that customers in Turkey find online grocery shopping more useful and less risky than those in the UK and perceive a higher level of control over the purchase process.

| dc.description.abstract | This research examines the changes in echo chambers formed by individuals with similar beliefs in opposition movements from their emergence to the present day. In this context, the thesis compares the echo chambers of countermovements, including “All Lives Matter”, “Blue Lives Matter”, “Police Lives Matter”, and “White Lives Matter”, which emerged in opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement, between 2013 and 2022. Topic modeling and network analysis methods were used to define the echo chambers. With the use of these methods, the topics discussed in the echo chambers and the members belonging to these groups were easily identified. This allowed for the observation of changes in echo chambers from 2013 to 2022. In this study, changes in echo chambers were examined from two perspectives: the dominant topics in the echo chambers and the members of the echo chambers. The continuity, change, and differences between countermovements in terms of these two factors are the focal points of this study. Accordingly, the thesis demonstrates that there is an increasing trend in the number of echo chambers and their members during times of crisis. It also shows that the continuity of echo chambers differs, dominant topics have distinct seasonal trends, and the continuity of the echo chambers that contain both similar members and topics varies between countermovements. | |
