“…Instead, this finding provides a different perspective that world-minded consumers do not always tend to purchase foreign product and disregard domestic ones. This finding also corresponds to Skinner (1988), which views that the fundamental aspect of worldmindedness is humanitarian. The participant of this research may separate the humanitarian aspect from the economics aspect so that there is no significant impact of world-mindedness on consumer ethnocentrism.…”

“…Nevertheless, world-mindedness is different from cultural openness (Saffu et al, 2010;Topçua & Kaplan, 2015). World-mindedness refers to a "world-view of humanity's problems," while cultural openness represents someone's openness to other cultures while (Gammoh et al, 2020;Rawwas et al, 1996;Sampson & Smith, 1957;Shankarmahesh, 2006;Skinner, 1988). More clearly, the fundamental concept of world-mindedness is the humanitarian aspect (Skinner, 1988).…”

The Model of Domestic Product Quality Syndrome

et al. 2020

This paper aims to develop and test a model that involves consumer ethnocentrism, world-mindedness, patriotism, and domestic product quality syndrome. This research used a quantitative approach. Data were collected through a survey of 222 respondents in Jakarta, Indonesia. The respondents are consumer electronic product users. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was used to test the conceptual model and hypotheses. The results of this research show that the conceptual model has a good fit. We found that consumer ethnocentrism has a positive and significant impact on domestic product quality syndrome. We also found that patriotism significantly influences consumer ethnocentrism, while world-mindedness does not significantly influence consumer ethnocentrism. Data were collected only in Jakarta. Furthermore, a convenience sampling technique was applied. Thus, the findings of this research may not be generalized to other contexts. Therefore, future studies involving larger respondents coming from diverse areas are required to improve the generalization of the results and examine the stability of this research’s findings. Company should align its strategy and quality objectives with the level of consumer ethnocentrism and patriotism to overcome domestic product quality syndrome. There is a lack of research that develops and tests a model that can be used to explain the phenomenon of domestic product quality syndrome. This research fulfills the literature gaps.

“…The concept of worldmindedness is distinct from that of "cultural openness." While cultural openness refers to opportunities to interact with cultures other than one's own, worldmindedness points to a "world-view of the problems of humanity" (Sampson and Smith, 1957;Skinner, 1988). Thus, there is a theoretical possibility that a person can be "worldminded" even without interacting with other cultures.…”

Purpose -To provide an integrative review of the antecedents and consequences of consumer ethnocentrism (CET). Design/methodology/approach -A comprehensive review of works on CET to date is put forward. An integrative framework and a detailed summary table are provided. Findings -Four categories of antecedents, namely, socio-psychological, political, economic and demographic are gathered from the literature. Direct consequences and indirect consequences through relevant mediators and moderators are identified. Future research directions are offered. Practical implications -The compendium of antecedents and consequences of CET can be used by international marketing managers for their segmentation and target marketing strategies. Originality/value -As new vistas emerge for furthering international trade in goods and services, this paper provides a timely review and an integrative framework of existing research on CET, its antecedents and consequences. This paper contributes to the marketing discipline both by integrating a wide body of research on an important international marketing topic and by offering broad avenues for further research.

“…Hofstede et al (1990) defines culture as a group of people who share distinctive beliefs, norms and customs. Skinner (1988) has pointed out that infants are born all over the world very much alike, but as adults they have been profoundly indoctrinated in the ways of their group. As a result, the model postulates that if a culture (e.g.…”

The influence of worldmindedness and nationalism on consumer evaluation of domestic and foreign products

Consumers' knowledge of a product's country of origin is widely regarded as an important influence on their choice behaviour (e.g. Bilkey and Nes, 1982). Substantial country-of-origin (CO) research has shown a tendency for consumers to prefer their own country's products (Hong and Wyer, 1989). For example, over two-thirds of Spanish and British subjects preferred domesticmade products to comparable foreign-made products (Peris et al., 1993). In another study, French and West German consumers exhibited nationalistic sentiments as they rated their own country's products higher than those from Japan (Papadopoulos et al., 1990).The tendency for consumers to prefer domestic to foreign goods has been labelled as consumer nationalism in the CO literature. Nationalistic consumers perceive that purchasing imported products is wrong because it hurts the domestic economy, causes loss of jobs and is unpatriotic. In studying such consumers, Shimp and Sharma (1987) found that consumer nationalism is negatively correlated with purchase of foreign products. Highly nationalistic consumers were inclined to emphasize the positive aspects of domestic products and to discount the virtues of foreign-made items.However, not all products in the marketplace are produced domestically, nor are all consumers nationalists. In most nations, consumers confront many purchase alternatives from which to choose (Netemeyer et al., 1991). Moreover, with growing immigration, the proliferation of adopted foreign children into many societies, the increase in multinational marriages, and the constant transformation of our world by technologies that render distances irrelevant, a new culture is being created daily within many countries (Weiner, 1994). This hybrid culture (e.g. substantial groups within Canadian or Swiss cultures) becomes increasingly appreciative of world sharing and common welfare and shows empathy and understanding towards other societies, which Sampson and Smith (1957) label as "worldmindedness".
