Abstract
This research aims to address ethnocentric consumers’ willingness to boycott dual origin brands, in the particular case of national brands linked to a very specific regional origin, through analysing the paradox of (unfavourable) regional ethnocentrism versus (favourable) consumer–brand relationship (i.e. brand identification, trust and love) on consumers’ decision to buy or boycott those brands in that circumstances. Building on social identity and cognitive dissonance theories, this study aims to examine the Spanish consumer relationship with national brands originated in Catalonia considering the current conflicting circumstances in the region.,The authors collected data by means of personal questionnaires, distributed among 277 Spanish consumers of Catalan brands of Cava. The data is analysed by using structural equation modelling and linear structural relations.,After controlling for brand familiarity, the results of this study reveal that ethnocentrism negatively distorts consumers’ confidence in dual origin brands and highlight the role of identification and trust as brand love antecedents. It also reveals that ethnocentrism has a more profound impact on boycotting decision than brand love.,This study is one of the few to capture the puzzlement created by the paradoxical nature of the brand’s duality of origin. Furthermore, it contributes to the marketing literature by examining the impact of ethnocentrism on two relationship variables (i.e. identification and trust) and exploring their joint impact on consumers’ decision to buy or boycott. The findings of this study can be helpful for companies facing boycotting behaviour triggered by ethnocentric consumer reaction towards dual origin brands.,Esta investigacion tiene como objetivo abordar la disponibilidad de los consumidores etnocentricos para boicotear las marcas de origen dual -en el caso particular de marcas nacionales vinculadas a un origen regional muy especifico-, mediante el analisis de la paradoja del (desfavorable) etnocentrismo regional versus la relacion (favorable) entre el consumidor y la marca (es decir, la identificacion, la confianza y el amor a la marca) en la decision de los consumidores de comprar o boicotear dichas marcas en esas circunstancias.

本研究旨在通过分析(不利的)地区民族中心主义与(有利的)消费者-品牌关系(即品牌认同、信任和爱)对消费者在这种情况下购买或抵制这些品牌的决定的矛盾,解决民族中心主义消费者抵制双重原产地品牌的意愿,特别是与非常特定的地区民族品牌相关联的特殊情况下。在社会认同和认知失调理论的基础上,本研究旨在研究西班牙消费者与加泰罗尼亚民族品牌的关系,考虑到该地区当前的冲突情况。作者通过个人问卷的方式收集数据,向277名加泰罗尼亚品牌Cava的西班牙消费者分发。采用结构方程模型和线性结构关系对数据进行分析。在对品牌熟悉度进行控制后,本研究的结果显示,民族中心主义对消费者对双源品牌的信心有负向扭曲,并突出了认同和信任作为品牌喜爱前因的作用。这也揭示了民族中心主义对抵制决策的影响比品牌热爱更深远。这项研究是少数几个捕捉到该品牌起源二元性的矛盾性质所造成的困惑的研究之一。此外,它通过研究民族中心主义对两个关系变量(即认同和信任)的影响,并探索它们对消费者购买或抵制决策的共同影响,为营销文献做出了贡献。本研究的发现可以帮助企业面对抵制行为引发的种族中心主义消费者对双重原产地品牌的反应。,门investigacion如果科莫objetivo abordar la disponibilidad de los consumidores etnocentricos对位boicotear las马卡·德·奥利金双与名词构成动词埃尔卡索特殊de马卡(vinculadas联合国奥利金区域非常especifico——mediante el分析de la paradoja del desfavorable etnocentrismo地区与la relacion(有利的)之间的el consumidor y拉马卡(la identificacion es做,在不同的情况下,消费者的消费决定与消费者的消费决定相比较。“社会身份认同与认知不一致的社会身份认同”,“西班牙文化与加泰罗尼亚原始国家市场的关系”,“西班牙文化与加泰罗尼亚原始国家市场的关系”,“西班牙文化与加泰罗尼亚地区现实冲突的情况”。,Los datos se承认中介问题的个人,分销中心277个消费者的西班牙加泰罗尼亚市场的Cava。对数据进行了分析利用,并通过相对结构线对结构线进行了建模。(1)“在市场上,控制者对市场的熟悉程度是不确定的”,“在市场上,消费者对市场的认知是不确定的”,“在市场上,消费者对市场的认知是不确定的”。台湾的民族中心主义对中国的政治决策产生了深远的影响。“Este estustudio”是一名建筑师,他说:“我们的作品是关于捕捉和混淆的,我们的作品是关于自然悖论的,我们的作品是关于二元性的。”此外,本文还研究了市场营销对消费者中心主义的影响及其变量之间的关系(消费者中心主义与消费者中心主义之间的关系),探讨了消费者中心主义与消费者中心主义之间的关系。新时代的hallazgos(新时代的hallazgos)将会为我们提供一个全新的世界,一个全新的世界,一个全新的世界,一个全新的世界,一个全新的世界。
期刊介绍:

New methodologies and techniques are particularly appreciated. SJM-ESIC welcomes a wide array of original contributions (quantitative or qualitative empirical analysis, critical literature reviews, meta-analysis, theoretical papers, agenda for future research, etc.), as well as research that cross the frontiers between marketing and other related areas. Submitted manuscripts can be focused on Spanish, Latin-American, but also any other relevant market. Agenda for Future Research: Considering the interest of the SJM-ESIC for unique and novel contributions on the frontier of knowledge, this section aims to create a space for critical reflection of new directions in which future specialized research in the marketing field should advance. The Agenda for Future Research section welcomes contributions outlining emerging opportunities in the marketing discipline derived, for example, from changes in consumers'' behaviour. New challenges in this evolving field might be also addressed. In sum, this section aims to propose new research avenues for marketing academics in order to inspire future research agendas. Leading researchers in the marketing discipline, either alone or in collaboration, are highly encouraged to contribute to this Agenda for Future Research section. Due to the particularities of this type of contributions, no restrictions on manuscript structure apply.
