Given the fact that globalization is an
influencing factor shaping all
structures of society, it is the testing of three theses with consumer
ethnocentrism that is defined in terms of its cultural effects and, additionally,
the examination of consumer ethnocentrism in terms of demographic factors. As a
descriptive research, it was carried out through a face-to-face survey method
and easy sampling and conducted on 230 respondents. A 17-unit CETSCALE scale
was used to measure the ethnocentric levels of consumers, and the measurement
was found to be reliable. As a result of the analyzes made, it was found that
the ethnocentric tendency levels of the Turkish consumers were moderate, that
it did not change according to age or gender and that those with higher education
levels showed a lower ethnocentric tendency. The research concluded that the
'hybridization' thesis was acceptable from possible theses regarding the
cultural effects of globalization.
