An Assessment of the consumer ethnocentric scale (CETSCALE): evidences from Brazil

Abstract

O principal objetivo deste trabalho é identificar se os consumidores em São Paulo possuem tendências etnocêntricas. Em seguida, a CETSCALE é analisada dentro do contexto brasileiro. O trabalho apresenta uma revisão da literatura sobre o conceito de etnocentrismo. Uma metodologia quantitativa e descritiva foi empregada e duas bases de dados foram obtidas, uma compreendendo 275 e outra somando 200 entrevistados da cidade de São Paulo. O instrumento usado para a coleta de dados foi um questionário estruturado com perguntas fechadas. Os principais resultados se referem a amostras moderadamente etnocêntricas – quando comparadas com estudos realizados em outros países – em todas as variáveis demográficas relacionadas. As análises indicaram que existem diferenças entre o nível de etnocentrismo dos consumidores quando eles são segregados em grupos por idade e diferentes classes econômicas. As classes socioeconômicas mais baixas são significativamente mais etnocêntricas do que a classe socioeconômica mais alta. Entre as classes mais baixas, as pessoas mais velhas receberam as pontuações mais altas de etnocentrismo. As observações finais são apresentadas, com algumas implicações e recomendações para pesquisas futuras.

The primary objective of this work is to identify if consumers in São Paulo have ethnocentric tendencies. Secondly, the CETSCALE within the Brazilian context is analyzed. The work presents a literature review of the concept of ethnocentrism. A descriptive quantitative methodology was employed and two databases were obtained, one comprised of 275 and another of 200 respondents from the city of São Paulo. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire with closed questions. The main findings refer to moderately ethnocentric samples – when compared with studies carried out in other countries – in all of the related demographic variables. Analyses indicated that there are differences between the level of consumers’ ethnocentrism when they are segregated into groups by age and different economic classes. The lowest socio-economic classes are significantly more ethnocentric than the upper socio-economic class. Among the lower classes the older people have the highest scores for ethnocentrism. Concluding remarks are presented, with some implications and recommendations for future research.
