The Effect of CSII on Armenian-Americans’ Pre-purchase Information-Search Tendencies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Key psychometric properties of the Consumer Susceptibility to Interpersonal Influence (CSII) scale (Bearden,Netemeyer, & Teel, 1989) are re-assessed in a sample chosen from the Armenian-American micro-culture in theU.S.. The scale is modified in light of differences found between this group and that of the original study(Bearden, Netemeyer, & Teel, 1989). Differences found between these two groups are also highlighted. Theeffect of CSII on an Armenian-American consumer’s pre-purchase external information-search tendencies areassessed in a business suit purchasing scenario. For those who are more susceptible to informational influence,family is the most important information source. For those who are more susceptible to normative influence, wefind that they learn macro-cultural norms mostly from outside the family. “Neutral” and “impersonal” sources ofinformation are found to be quite important. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings from thisretailing scenario are discussed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
