Frequency and percentage analyzes were used to report the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test were used to test the differences, and correlation and regression analyzes were used to measure the relationship and effects between the variables. As a result of the research, significant differences were found between the ages and payment methods of consumers and the perceived risk factors. At the same time, a negative significant relationship was found between the amount of spending and shopping frequency of consumers and the perceived risk.
