Extending the Construct of Consumer Ethnocentrism: When Foreign Products Are Preferred
ABSTRACT - This paper tests whether the construct of consumer ethnocentrism extends to contexts in which foreign products are preferred to domestic products. Specifically, the present study evaluates the psychometric properties of the CETSCALE in the transition economies of Russia and China using both student and non-student samples. Findings show that the scale can be used effectively in developing economies. Further, a valid and reliable 6-item version of the CETSCALE is developed based on these samples. The results are validated with a re-analysis of Netemeyer, Durvasula, and Lichtenstein’s (1991) data collected in developed countries.
