Abstract

Although 80% of the world's population lives in emerging markets and developing countries, such as Mexico, there is a dearth of research on consumers in these countries. The aim of this study is to determine the profile of the Mexican consumer based on psycho-sociological variables such as ethnocentrism, cultural openness, patriotism, collectivism and demographic characteristics. To this end, information was gathered from a sample of 274 consumers. A factor analysis was conducted of the main components and a cluster analysis undertaken whereby individuals were classified into three groups with different psycho-sociological and demographic profiles.
