“…Our analysis confirms that the identification with the RoO positively influences the affective and normative evaluation of regional food as suggested in previous studies (e.g., Fernandez-Ferrin & Bande-Vilela, 2013;Henseleit et al, 2007). It corresponds with past research on normative and affective processes or home-bias as a major driver of preferences for regional products (Darby et al, 2006;Henseleit et al, 2007;Zepeda & Deal, 2009).…”

“…More general, this normative preference for regional products is based on the concept of ethnocentrism. It states that one tends to judge people or products originating from other regions ''by the standards and practices of one's own culture or ethnic group'' which leads to an ''inherent feeling of superiority'' (Frewer, Risvik, & Schifferstein, 2001, p. 290;Fernandez-Ferrin & Bande-Vilela, 2013). In line with this, ''consumers' sense of belonging [to a specific region] significantly enhances consumers' intention to purchase regional products'' ( van Ittersum, 2002, p. 96).…”

a b s t r a c tIn this study, an extended TPB model is applied for analyzing consumers' purchasing behavior of regional pork. In addition to cognitive attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control the model includes personal norms/Affective Attitudes. Furthermore, identification with and perceived authenticity of a labeled region-of-origin are considered as determinants of consumers' product perception. Based on a sample of 483 consumers, living in the German Federal State North-Rhine Westphalia, the study shows that normative and affective behavioral determinants are most relevant for consumers' purchasing intention. Moreover, identification with and authenticity of a region both have a significant influence on the personal norms/affective attitudes and on cognitive attitudes that consumers hold towards regional pork.

“…CET is commonly defined as "the beliefs held by [American] consumers about the appropriateness, indeed morality, of purchasing foreign-made products" (Shimp & Sharma, 1987, p. 280). CET represents a general inclination to prefer domestic products (Klein et al, 1998, Fernández-Ferrín & Bande-Vilela, 2013 that affects choices between domestic and foreign products (Klein, 2002) and thus serves as a behavioral regulation mechanism. CET is consequently distinct from other concepts reflecting consumer expressions of national identity (Carvalho et al, 2019), such as patriotism (Balabanis, Diamantopoulos, Mueller & Melewar, 2001), animosity (Klein, Ettenson & Morris, 1998) or nationalism (Ariely, 2012).…”

“…Ethnocentric consumers may hence be motivated to judge domestic products as superior or suppose purchasing foreign products may hurt their nation's economy (Zeugner-Roth et al, 2015). As a result, ethnocentric consumers do not only prefer to buy domestic brands (He & Wang, 2015), domestically manufactured cars (Shimp & Sharma, 1987;Klein, 2002;Verlegh, 2007), electronic products (Watson & Wright, 2000;Kim & Pysarchik, 2000) or dietary supplements (Šmaižienė & Vaitkienė, 2014) but also food of domestic origin (Bilkey & Nes, 1982;Balabanis & Diamantopoulos, 2004;Schnettler et al, 2011;Fernández-Ferrín & Bande-Vilela, 2013;Gineikiene et al, 2016;Fernández-Ferrín et al, 2018).…”

“…As outlined before, CET represents a general inclination of consumers to prefer domestic products (Klein et al, 1998;Fernández-Ferrín & Bande-Vilela, 2013) that also affects the judgement of perceived product quality (Chryssochoidis et al, 2007;Šmaižienė & Vaitkienė, 2014). The component of morality in CET could incite people not only to judge domestic products' general quality as superior, but also evaluate their healthiness, as a result of moral diligence and self-control spillover (Baumeister & Exline, 1999;Tuk, Zhang & Sweldens, 2015).…”

Consumer ethnocentrism (CET), healthiness perception and health consciousness have been extensively researched in regard to consumer food choices. Literature on domestic food choices provides evidence that CET positively affects consumer preferences toward domestic food. However, the effect of health consciousness on domestic food choices has not yet received attention. Our online study (N=227, convenience sample from Lithuanian population) closes this gap by showing that health consciousness is an important individual trait in domestic food choices beyond consumer ethnocentrism and represents the first study to analyze CET in light of food healthiness perception. All constructs were measured using established self-report scales. Empirical results obtained through structural equation modelling show that (1) health consciousness increases healthiness perception and willingness to buy domestic food. Moreover, (2) health consciousness is an important individual trait in domestic food choices beyond CET; (3) healthiness perception of domestic food has an impact on consumer purchase decisions; (4) CET has a positive impact on domestic food healthiness perception. The study provides managerial implications for domestic and foreign producers.

The Choice of Local Food Products by Young Consumers: The Importance of Public and Private Attributes

et al. 2016

In this paper, we propose an explicative model for the effective purchase of various brands of local products, incorporating private and public motivations into a causal chain and considering product availability as a possible moderator of the effects of these purchase factors on local products. The results obtained by applying conditional process analysis and a Tobit model to the responses of 195 young consumers show that local identity can have direct and/or indirect effects on the effective purchase of four different brands of local, traditional, and nontraditional products. Furthermore, for two of these brands, perceived product availability moderates the relationship between product valuation and effective purchase. [EconLit citations: C51, Q13].
