Summary/Abstract: For many years, research into consumers’ attitudes to shopping, including online shopping, has allowed for monitoring changes in the attitudes in question resulting from the development of new forms of commerce. This research article suggests the use of the k-means method that is subsequently followed with verification of the results obtained by means of the Scheffe post-hoc test. The research strategy adopted was based on individual interviews performed at the turn of May 2014 in the sample group of 820 respondents who came from different parts of Poland. The research results were used to formulate some typology of consumers that would involve assessment of the way they did their online shopping and their opinions concerning online shopping in general. The research approach presented along with some attempt undertaken in the article to formulate a typology should serve as inspiration for further in-depth research, thus being some participation in the discussion about changes in consumers’ attitudes toward online shopping in Poland.
