How young adults practice shopping online : A qualitative study about shopping online and sustainability (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur unga vuxna går tillväga när de handlar kläder och skor online. Vi befinner oss i en tid då det sker ett skifte från att handla i fysiska butiker till onlinebutiker och med tanke på den negativa effekt som klädbranschen har på miljön är det viktigt att tänka hållbart när man handlar online. I den här studien försöker vi undersöka hur konsumenter väger in hållbarhet i sin praktik, men också vad som skulle påverka dem att göra mer hållbara val. Studien bygger på praktikteori och den digitala köpprocessen. Vi har använt personliga intervjuer för att samla in materialet som vi sedan använde för att analysera. Resultaten visar att det finns tre olika sätt att handla online, det spontana, det genomtänkta och det rutinmässiga. Vilken shoppingmetod som används påverkar även konsumenten och dess hållbarhetsbeslut. Enligt denna studie är det mest hållbara sättet att agera det genomtänkta sättet, medan det spontana och rutinmässiga sättet är det minst hållbara. Studien visar också att den digitala köpprocessen ser olika ut beroende på konsument och vilket sätt de använder.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to analyze how young adults practice shopping for clothes and shoes online. We are in a time when there is a shift from shopping in physical stores to online stores and given the negative effect that the clothing industry has on the environment, it is important to think sustainably when shopping online. In this study, we try to look into how consumers weigh sustainability into their practice, but also what would influence them to make more sustainable choices. The study is based on practice theory and the digital buying process. We have used personal interviews to collect the material which we then used to analyze. The results show that there are three different ways to shop online, the spontaneous, the well-thought-out and the routine way. Which shopping method is used also affects the consumer and its sustainability decisions. According to this study, the most sustainable way to act is the well-thought-out way, while the spontaneous and routine way is the least sustainable. The study also shows that the digital buying process looks different depending on the consumer and which way they use.
