Internet use and human values: Analyses of developing and developed countries

Online Privacy Concerns and Privacy Management: A Meta-Analytical Review

“…This finding needs to be interpreted in light of research suggesting that despite cultural differences in usage patterns associated with Internet use (e.g. Li & Kirkup, 2007), there are also significant overlaps across cultural contexts, particularly in terms of values and motivations of Internet use (e.g., Kim, Sohn, & Choi, 2011;Bagchi, Udo, Kirs, & Choden, 2015). Future research should also recognize the possibility that different dimensions of cultural differences may have conflicting impact on users' privacy attitudes and privacy-management behavior.…”

Understanding individual-level digital divide: Evidence of an African country

“…However, according to Smith (2002) culture is made up by individuals, and comprises a set of shared values. Bagchi et al (2015) asserted that while cultural factors are variables in which groups differ, values are variables in which individuals differ. Values serve as the basic criteria in which individuals select and justify actions and events (Schwartz, 1992).…”

“…For instance, in a study about the most influential experiences in successful and unsuccessful technology adoption Partala and Saari (2015) found that values (except security) are related to successful technology adoption. Bagchi et al (2015) developed a model using the Schwartz values framework to study Internet use. They concluded that personal values affect Internet use, with the exception of the power value, which ended up being not influential.…”

Can ‘Openness-to-change’ and ‘Conservation’ Values Predict the Diffusion of the Internet into European Homes?

“…Previous Findings The issue of how cultural factors might affect the diffusion of internet connection and internet use has been investigated previously at several levels, including individuals, households, regions, and nations. Some individual-level Comparative Sociology 18 (2019) 735-756 studies have investigated the roles of human values, including those described in the Schwartz taxonomy (Bagchi et al 2015;Wu et al 2011). Findings have indicated that openness-to-change values were associated with internet use (Bagchi et al 2015) and online shopping (Wu et al 2011); in contrast, conservation values were associated with less internet use (Bagchi et al 2015).…”
