Abstract
This study examines the impact of cultural dimensions and consumer ethnocentrism on purchase intentions toward domestic brands in Latin America – a region characterized by high levels of migration and cultural hybridity. Grounded in Hofstede’s cultural framework and the Theory of Planned Behavior, data from 535 respondents across six countries were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results show that consumer ethnocentrism is a strong and consistent predictor of purchase intention, while Hofstede’s dimensions did not have significant direct effects. These findings highlight the importance of contextualizing cultural values within dynamic social environments and underscore the role of attitudinal factors, such as perceived behavioral control, in shaping consumer behavior. The study offers a more comprehensive understanding of how macro-level culture and micro-level psychology intersect in shaping consumer behavior. Practical implications include designing segmentation strategies and marketing messages that resonate with local identities and generational traits across diverse Latin American markets.

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
