“…Although studies on OISS have increased in recent years (Li, 2012), there are a limited number of studies in the literature on identifying variables that may affect these strategies. Studies on this topic have generally investigated the effects of internet usage, search experience and search frequency on OISS (Ay and Seferoğlu, 2017;Çaka, Doğan, and Şahin, 2016;Çevik;Çoklar et al, 2017;Wu and Tsai, 2007;Sırakaya and Çakır, 2014;Turan, Reisoğlu, Özçelik and Göktas, 2015).
