Abstract
Abstract The study investigates the effect of individuals’ ethics (i.e., idealism and relativism), religiosity (i.e., fear of divine punishment, interest in religion and practices, and beliefs in religion), and attitudes toward counterfeits (i.e., economic benefits and hedonic benefits) on purchase intentions of counterfeit products. Data were collected in Tunisia, a Muslim country showing a mixture of modern and conservative values. The analysis of variance on the data, collected among 217 participants, shows that religiosity, ethics, and attitudes, all influence the intent to buy counterfeits. The analysis further supports the stronger effect of perceived economic benefits on intentions of buying counterfeits. The study contributes to the development of knowledge about the effect of religiosity and ethics on consumption behavior.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
