According to another related study of Ms. Neha Gupta/Dr. Deepali Bhatnagar (2017)
entitled"A study on Online Shopping Behavior among the students"objectives of the study:To
find out the behavior of the student and factors influencing while they buy the product, To
draw down the findings, To give suggestions accordingly.results reveal that Experimental
Uniqueness, Customer Service and Convenience tend to be three significant dimensions as to
why customers prefer internet shopping. Today there is radical change in the entire scenario.
Everything in today’s world is E prefixed like Electronic Data Interchange, E-Mail, E-Business and
E-Commerce. A key outcome of the technology revolution in India has been connectivity, which
has fuelled unprecedented access to information. This use of technology has opened new doors
and opportunities that enable for a more convenient lifestyle today. Online shopping is a vast
growing technology. If it is properly utilized with assured safety and security for the
transactions, it will thrive into a highly competitive and dynamic environment. Thus, a
consumer being the king of the market needs a treatment like king. Even though the internet is
often referred to as a borderless market, there are still some barriers to overcome.
According to another related study of Smith and Jones (2019) titled "Impact of Digital
Distractions on Academic Achievement," the researchers aimed to determine how various
digital activities, including online shopping, affected students' academic performance. They
found that students who frequently engaged in online shopping showed a noticeable decline in
their grades, mainly due to poor time management and lack of focus. Similarly, in another study
by Lee (2021) titled "The Influence of E-commerce on Student Behavior," the objective was to
assess how e-commerce platforms influenced the daily routines of high school students. The
results indicated that students who spent more time shopping online were more likely to
procrastinate on their school assignments, leading to lower academic performance.
According to another study of Li & Nakayama (2019) focused on the college students’
online purchase of clothing, and compared the consumption behaviors of Japanese and Chinese
college students to explore the characteristics of Japanese and Chinese college students’
consumption behaviors. After summarizing the theoretical research in the past, based on the
online sales of clothing, we conducted a questionnaire survey among college students in Japan
and China from the perspective of Marketing Mix. The results show that when the college
students in Japan and China purchase clothing, there was a big difference in CD purchase
channel, CD commodity price, CD commodity quality and CD network comments. The study
agreed with the current study in terms of sampling but differed in terms of spatial and objective
limits.
According to another study of Balasudarsun (2017) entitled "dealt with the impact of
social factors such as family, friends, their reviews, and external and interpersonal factors on
planned and unplanned online purchases". This descriptive study was conducted using
structured survey questionnaires. This study establishes that Indian, Singaporean, and
Malaysian students are careful and think twice before making purchases, keep shopping lists,
are particular about e-stores, and will not purchase without a plan. However, in Uzbekistan and
parts of Singapore, unplanned purchases happen often due to patterns of increased spending
and impulsive purchases. Since the internet and e-stores are especially new in Uzbekistan, its
youth are tempted to browse online suggestions and impulsively act on reviews from friends or
peers. The study differs with the current one in that it studied electronic shopping as per
different geographical limits, but did not study a specific commodity not it examined the effect
of academic majors on purchasing behavior.
According to another study of Ghalawat et al. (2018) entitled "examined the factors
affecting customer satisfaction towards online shopping among university students".
Questionnaires were distributed among university student to gauge their factors to shop online.
Based on the research, the product quality, brand and shopping experience have a significant
relationship to customer satisfaction towards online shopping among university students at
UTeM. The study agreed with the current study in terms of sampling but differed in the
objective as well as in the geographical limit.
According to another study of Yongmei Hou, Xiaoyu Yang(2021) entitled "The Effect of
Self-Identity on Online-Shopping Addiction in Undergraduates: Taking Guangdong Province as
an Example" The aim of this study is to explore the status of undergraduates’ self-identity and
online-shopping addiction, and analyze the relationship between the above two variables.
Totally 1183 undergraduates were selected by random sampling from 3 colleges in Guangdong
Province. They were investigated with Self-Identity Scale (SIS), Online-Shopping Addiction
Questionnaire for College Students (OSAQ) and Adolescents Pathological Internet Use Scale
(APIUS). The survey results indicate the following two points. First, the incidence of online
shopping addiction was 16.7%; the self-identity of 12.8% college students was in a state of
positive delaying, while that of 0.5% was in a state of identity completion. Second, multiple
linear regression analysis showed that the scores of each dimension of SIS were negatively
correlated with the total score of OSAQ (β=-.101~-.229, P <.05). It is therefore suggested that
online shopping addiction is a common Internet behavioral problem in college students and the
improvement of self-identity may be a protective factor of college students’ online shopping
addiction.
According to another study of Chun-rui Tao and Si-wei Wang (2020) entitled
"Investigation and Study on Students' Online Shopping Consumption under the Background of
Big Data"With the rapid development of social and economic growth of the Internet, online
shopping has become an indispensable part of people's lives, college students has become a
main force in online shopping.Although online shopping has gradually matured, there are still
many problems, and the problems are worth discussing. Based on the social background of big
data, based on the questionnaire survey on the online shopping consumption of students of the
International College of Zhengzhou University, this article uses the basic statistical analysis
methods, correspondence analysis, and SPSS software and EXCEL software. Use Logistic
regression method to analyze students' online shopping consumption. Combined with the
status of students' online shopping, find out the differences of students' online shopping
behaviors, analyze the psychological characteristics of online shopping consumption, in order to
correctly guide students' consumption concepts. Then logistic regression analysis was used to
find out the key factors that influence students' online shopping frequency. Finally, based on
the previous analysis conclusions, the school, e-commerce, and the government propose
corresponding.
According to another study of Cansu Emin, Murat Kayri and Ezgi Doğan (2024) entitled
"Examining the Influence of Narcissism and Some Demographic Variables on Online Shopping
Addiction via the Exhaustive CHAID Method".In the research, which was designed as a survey
and correlational study, data were collected from 1010 adults using the online shopping
addiction scale and narcissism scale. The data obtained were analyzed with descriptive statistics
and the exhaustive CHAID method. According to the analysis results, the participant group's
level of online shopping addiction was low, and their level of narcissism was moderate.In line
with the results of the exhaustive CHAID analysis, the variables that most related to online
shopping addiction were age, gender, and narcissism level. According to the analysis results,
online shopping addiction decreases with advancing age. Women in younger age groups are
more addicted to online shopping than men. Moreover, the increase in the level of narcissism is
a condition that elevates the online shopping addiction of women in younger groups. It is
reported in the literature that narcissism is more common in men and younger individuals.
However, one of the most important study results is that, in this study, individuals with online
shopping addiction are mostly relatively young female participants with high levels of
narcissism.
According to another related study of Xuan-Lam Duong & Shu-Yi Liaw (2021) entitled
"Determinants of online shopping addiction among Vietnamese university students". Online
shopping addiction, which refers to the inability to take an individual’s online shopping urges
under control has attracted a great deal of research interest over the last decade, given the
prevalence of internet technologies and the advent of data-driven marketing strategies in e-
commerce. The current study sought to examine the determining factors that can potentially
result in online shopping addiction among Vietnamese university students. We found a strong
correlation presented between daily online shopping frequency and daily internet shopping
usage. Results from the hierarchical analysis indicate that internet experience has a significant
negative effect on online shopping addiction. Besides, time spent on internet shopping per day
and daily internet shopping frequency has the significant effect on the score of online shopping
addiction. Students are recommended to manage their online routine wisely and efficiently to
avoid detrimental consequences resulted from online shopping addiction.
According to another study of Dr. Marilyn Clark&Kirsten Calleja (2009) entitled "Shopping
addiction: A preliminary investigation among Maltese university students"The goal is to
contribute to the changing shape of the addiction field. The empirical data indicates that
compulsive buying holds the same elements as behavioural addictions identified in the
extensive literature on the subject. Furthermore, it was found that compulsive buyers often use
shopping as a means of mood elevation. Pleasurable feelings associated with shopping seem to
mask negative affect if only momentarily, thus perpetuating the compulsive buying cycle The
heightened state experienced whilst shopping may be seen as a key motivating element of this
addiction. Findings indicate that debt and financial instability were apparent negative
consequences of the behaviour.
According to another study of Yaxing Lan and Guofang Liu (2024) entitled "Consumers'
rational attitudes toward online shopping improve their satisfaction through trust in online
shopping platforms". online shopping has become one of the main consumption methods, with
online retail sales reaching 13.79 trillion yuan in 2022. However, not all consumers are satisfied
with their online shopping experiences. This study proposed that consumers' rational attitudes
toward online shopping were an important influencing factor for their satisfaction. Additionally,
consumers' trust in online shopping platforms is a mediator in the above relationship. Two
studies were conducted to investigate this proposition. In Study 1, participants' rational
attitudes were first operationalized by a procedure to approve their decisions. Then, their
rationality, trust in online shopping platforms, and consumer satisfaction were measured. It was
found that participants' rational attitudes improved their satisfaction through the mediating
role of their trust in online shopping platforms. Study 2 further examined the hypotheses by
providing participants with either budget alert information or no information. The results
showed that such alert information increased participants' rationality and supported the
findings of Study 1. Based on the results, rational consumers are more likely to be satisfied with
their consumption, and trust is a key mechanism. Therefore, online shopping platforms and
retailers should make efforts to improve consumers' rational attitudes and protect their rights
and interests to obtain consumers' trust and a win‒win result between themselves and
consumer
According to another study of L. Vijayan & R. Venkatesh (2022) entitled "Impact of online
shopping advertising on customer trust and loyalty during festival sales".The purpose of this
study is to find the customers trust and loyalty on online shopping during festival sales in India
where various factors have been discussed. Descriptive research was used in this study using

SYNTHESIS
The research aims to explore the relationship between online shopping habits and the
academic performance of Grade 11 students. Online shopping has become a common activity
for students, and the study focuses on whether this behavior affects their school performance.
Some students may spend a lot of time on online shopping, which could distract them from
studying or completing schoolwork. On the other hand, if managed well, online shopping may
not interfere with their academics. This study will help determine if there is a connection
between how often students shop online and how well they perform in school. Understanding
this relationship can provide insights on how students can balance their online activities with
their academic responsibilities.
