“…Often treated as synonymous with closed-mindedness in social psychology, dogmatism refers to one's adherence to one's existing attitudes and a tendency to disregard new inputs that challenge them (Ottati et al, 2015). PI research in this area is also scant, and Al Ganideh (2017) found no significant relationships between either dogmatism or empathy, which was also included in his study, in ethnocentric tendencies among Arab Americans. This contradicts prior research in that area and calls for additional attention to this construct, as extant literature suggests it should be playing an important role in general, as an underlying influence of purchase behaviour, and in the context of minorities and their attitudes towards local products.…”

“…Finally, increasing consumer mobility and recent major migration waves have underscored the growing importance of ethnic subcultures, raising, in turn, the notion of dual ethnocentrism, which refers to individuals torn between allegiance to their original homeland and/or to the country where they currently live. While marketing research into ethnic consumer behaviour is extensive, interest in the connection between dual ethnocentrism and a preference for "home" versus "host" country products is recent and suggests fruitful directions for new research (Al Ganideh, 2017;El Banna et al, 2018;Josiassen, 2011;Papadopoulos et al, 2017).…”

Purpose This study focuses on an inventory and typology of consumer dispositions towards “place” and relates it to the underlying theories, inputs and outcomes of place images and attitudes, aiming to unclutter a crowded research landscape by providing a holistic perspective of product/brand place associations. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on extant literature to identify, analyze and discuss the consumer dispositions, theories and other elements related to place. Findings In total, 32 dispositions, 10 inputs to image formation, 28 permutations that complicate the understanding of place images, and 18 outcomes are discussed, providing a comprehensive perspective of the images of, and behaviours towards, various types of places from neighbourhoods to countries and beyond. Research limitations/implications Of the large number of constructs and combinations among them that are discussed, some have been studied fairly extensively, but most comprise “the road(s) less travelled”. The paper identifies relevant research gaps and numerous opportunities for new research. Practical implications Managers are aware and act upon some of the inventoried dispositions but can benefit by considering the complete array of constructs and concepts that are discussed. Social implications Individuals’ dispositions towards various places help to shape their self and social identities and are important in their daily life and consumption behaviour. Originality/value The study brings together for the first time a complete inventory of place-related dispositions alongside a wide range of related theories and concepts, thus advancing our knowledge of the nature and role of the country and other place-related images of products and brands.

“…It develops as a result of past or current political, military, or economic events (Swee et al, 2004). Unlike consumer ethnocentrism, which refers to foreign products in general, animosity is directed towards a specific country or countries (Klein et al, 1998;Klein & Ettenson, 1999;Al Ganideh, 2017). For example, a consumer can be non-ethnocentric to a very small extent and prone to evaluate a product solely on the basis of its value, yet still feel an aversion towards products from a certain country due to historical reasons, such as wars, economic sanctions and the like (Swee et al, 2004).…”

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of certain socio-cultural factors on consumer ethnocentrism, as well as to measure the impact of consumer ethnocentrism on the purchase of domestic products. In this context, the paper presents and tests a new model that contains five potential antecedents of consumer ethnocentrism (national identity, cultural openness, patriotism, religiosity, animosity towards the European Union). The results indicate that patriotism stands out as the strongest antecedent of consumer ethnocentrism. Interestingly, the study confirmed the statistically significant and relatively strong impact of animosity towards the European Union (EU) on the general level of consumer ethnocentrism. On the other hand, cultural openness does not belong to the group of statistically significant drivers of consumer ethnocentrism. The originality of the study lies in the specific construction of the research model, which is coloured with sociocultural variables - especially patriotism, religiosity and animosity towards the EU.

“…It is hoped that it will provide deeper insights of the purchase activities holistically and could be used as a guidance to improve national car producer's marketing strategies. Furthermore, according to (Al Ganideh 2017), there are still scanty research on the ethnocentric tendencies or bias towards purchasing local products, therefore, the study on ethnocentrism could help to clarify the roots of the consumer ethnocentrism phenomenon.…”
