Abstract
The paper aims to develop a new typology of Internet users on basis of a recently conducted telephone survey in Austria (January 2007, N=529, representative sample). In comparison to existing typologies, we elaborate our typology not by concentrating on duration or frequency of internet usage but by location of usage. Considering the location of usage, we can get hints about peoples motivation and interest in the internet, their types of usage and their internet literacy.The typology is validated by using elements of the Theory of planned behaviour. We can confirm the strong influence of the main determinants on behaviour as postulated by the Theory of planned behaviour, namely attitudes toward behaviour, behavioural control and social norms. By concentrating on individual behaviour, our approach is settled on the micro-level of explanation of collective phenomena. Thus our results can be embedded in a larger, multilevel model of collective behaviour.
