Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to validate a consumer ethnocentrism scale in Vietnam on the basis of the existing scale, CETSCALE, proposed by Shimp and Sharma. The results from a student population show that the revised scale consists of two elements: affective and behavioral. The multidimensional structure of the revised scale is supported in the exploratory factor analysis phase and confirmed in the confirmatory factor analysis phase. The findings also indicate that convergent validity, discriminant validity, and nomological validity of the revised scale are established. The paper starts with a literature review of consumer ethnocentrism, includes methodology and discussions, and concludes with theoretical and managerial implications.
