4. The research results
As previously stated, the embodiment of the qualitative research, was used the survey, conducted for the
population of the county Caras-Severin. The questionnaire was applied during December 2012 - January 2013 and
includes questions about occupation, age, sex, buying from Romanian websites, the frequency of purchasing online,
the reason for that they chose the online environment, the type of goods chosen from online stores, payment method,
the element that influenced the decision to purchase, instruments for attracting the consumer in the online
environment, forms of promotion, barriers to online consumer, other services of the Internet that are used.

frequency of purchasing online, the reason for that they chose the online environment, the type of goods chosen
from online stores, payment method, the element that influenced the decision to purchase, instruments for attracting
the consumer in the online environment, forms of promotion, barriers to online consumer, other services of the
Internet that are used.
To achieve a more complex analysis, I considered useful the analysis of regression and correlation, which

explained by the independent variable “making shopping in online environment” and also, in what manner, the
dependent variable” the frequency of online shopping” can be explained by the independent variable “occupation”.
The SPSS program estimates the parameters of the chosen regression model (I chose the simple linear regression
model).
For the analysis of the regression model I went through the following steps:
