“…On the other hand, consumers’ ethnic background plays a critical role in forming their PI in the natural products market [ 30 ]. Individuals from specific ethnicities are expected to have different environmental, social, and personal beliefs from other ethnicities individuals, especially in Malaysia [ 28 ]. Therefore, ethnic differences in purchase intention based on social, cultural, and environmental beliefs are expected to be found.…”

“…Specifically, the present study is one of the pioneer studies in the field that studies the moderated mediation effect of ethnic background on the relationship between a wide range of environmental, social, personal, and physical factors and PI. Ethnic background is also indicated in the previous literature as a possible factor affecting consumers’ behavior in marketing management studies [ 28 , 51 ]. However, there is a shortage of literature examining the role of ethnic background (ethnicity) in the correlation between PI and related factors.…”

“…Therefore, ethnicity plays a critical role in peoples’ behavior. Evidence from other frameworks than consumers’ PI had shown the significant moderation model of ethnicity in Malaysia as a multicultural community, such as the ethnocentrism and social capital framework [ 28 ], political socialization [ 29 ], and security framework [ 30 ]. However, moderated mediation role of ethnicity on natural care product PI through related personal, social, and physical environmental factors is still unclear in the multicultural (Malaysian) context.…”

The trends for sustainable lifestyle and marketing motivated natural product consumption, such as natural skin care products (NSCPs). Different personal, environmental, and sociocultural factors influence purchase intention (PI) for NSCPs. However, there is a lack of evidence on the role of consumers’ ethnicity in the PI model. The present study investigated the moderated mediation role of ethnicity in the relationship between related factors, including environmental concern, subjective norms, health factor, Halal certificate, packaging design, past experience factor, price factor, and PI mediated by personal attitude. A web-based survey was utilized to capture quantitative data from a random sample of 330 multicultural consumer group participants. The results of the study indicated that consumers’ ethnicity substantially moderated the mediation effect of personal attitude in the relationships between subjective norms, health factor, Halal certificate, packaging design, past experience factor, price factor, and PI in the model. The findings contributed to understanding of the factors that influenced the PI of consumers from diverse sociocultural contexts in the market for natural products. It contributed directly to natural product marketing and industry.

“…The conceptualization of this scale is based "on an individual's cultural, racial, and/or ethnic ingroup-outgroup distinction in conjunction with a cognitive and affective orientation that places the ingroup in a position of centrality and superiority" (Neuliep, 2002(Neuliep, , p. 2007. The Generalized Ethnocentrism (GENE) scale has been widely used as a unidimensional measure in previous research (e.g., Boehm et al, 2010;Borden, 2007;Cappell et al, 2008;Goldstein & Keller, 2015;Göncz, 2018;Jacobi, 2018;Ketab et al, 2019;Lin & Rancer, 2003;Neuliep, 2002;Neuliep et al, 2005;Pettijohn & Naples, 2009). Cronbach's alpha of the GENE scale found in previous research ranged from .82 to .92, and there is demonstration of predictive, concurrent, and construct validities (Neuliep, 2002).…”

The purpose of this investigation is to develop and validate a short form of the Generalized Ethnocentrism Scale (GENE). The GENE scale measures people’s tendency to consider their culture as the center of the world. A total of four studies were conducted using samples of college students. In the Study 1 has been examined the underlying factor structure of the GENE measure. Based on this study, the Short Form Generalized Ethnocentrism Scale is proposed (SFGENE-7). In the second study, the two-factor structure evidenced in Study 1, was supported by a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The psychometric properties of the short form of the GENE scale were also satisfactory. In the third study, the two-factor structure was submitted again to CFA. The investigation of the relationship between ethnocentrism and external variables was also examined. The results supported the convergent, discriminant and incremental validities. Finally, in the fourth study, temporal stability of the short form of the GENE scale has been assessed. The results demonstrated that the SFGENE-7 had adequate test-retest reliability. Overall, results reveal that the SFGENE-7 has adequate levels of reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and incremental validity. We obtained a short, reliable, and valid instrument to assess ethnocentrism.

“…Logan et al, (2016) affirm ethnocentrism as a fundamental aspect that significantly affects IWTC and needs further research. Mortazavi et al, (2015) explored the impact of ethnocentrism on social capital bridging interethnicity through mediating online interethnic interactions among multi-ethnic Malaysian students. The results showed that although more than 50% of respondents daily interacted with their peers of different ethnicities, the level of ethnocentrism of respondents was reported to be negatively correlated with the level of interethnic interaction.…”

Inter-ethnic harmony needs to continue to be maintained for the sake of national and state life. This harmony starts from the willingness to inter-cultural communication. This research aims to investigate relationship between ethnocentrism, intergroup anxiety and willingness to communicate between cultures and examine differences in terms of gender and ethnicity. Using a correlational research design, this research involved 172 student respondents at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya with 97 Javanese ethnic backgrounds and 75 Madurese students who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire. The SFGENE-7 scale was used to measure the level of entocentrism, while the Greenland Group Anxiety Scale was used to measure intergroup anxiety, and the IWTC scale was used to measure the willingness to communicate between cultures. The results of this study indicate that ethnocentrism and intergroup anxiety have a significant negative relationship with willingness to communicate interculturally. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the three variables tested in terms of ethnicity and gender.
