Personal values associated with political consumption: an exploratory study with university students in Brazil

Abstract: Emerging countries have witnessed an incredible change in their societal structure in the last few years. In Brazil, the economical rise of the middle class brought more that 100 million people to the marketplace.

“…Political consumption is generally understood as a form of self-expressive participation with a more individualized and advocatory format, when compared to traditional political participation (Baek 2010).

“…Consumers may boycott a brand because of animosity felt toward the country of origin due to political or military reasons or the belief that purchasing foreign-made products is unpatriotic (Baumann, Engman, & Johnston, 2015;Shimp & Sharma, 1987). Moreover, consumers may avoid a brand because the brand may represent an undesired self-image (Barcellos, Teixeira, & Venturini, 2014;Hogg & Banister, 2001;Sen, 1996) or a group with which consumers do not want to be associated (i.e., avoiding a dissociative reference group; White & Dahl, 2007). Similarly, consumers may boycott brands because their social group is also boycotting a brand, thereby creating a social boycotting movement (Holzer, 2006).…”

Politically, Brazil is a democratic country, where the principle of individual freedom prevails (Baer, ).…”
