(F) 2. The best way to study consumer behavior is to use the cultural approach without focusing on the psychological and social processes. (F) 3. In the case of sociology, the unit of analysis is the group rather than the individual. (T) 4. Evidence has shown that rational motives are superior to nonrational motives in explaining consumer behavior. (F) 5. Motives must be learned. (T) 6. Because personality applies to a person rather than to a group, it is not possible to state that particular personality traits seem dominant in certain countries. (F) 7. Although personality applies to a person rather than to a group, particular personality traits appear dominant in certain countries. (T) 8. The concept of national character states that the people of each nation have distinctive personality characteristics. (T) 9. Britons and Americans have different personality characteristics. (T) 10. The Japanese and Canadians have been found to exhibit the same cognitive style. (F) 11. The concept of consumer ethnocentrism explains why some consumers feel that it is inappropriate to buy imported products. (T) 12. Highly and lowly ethnocentric consumers do not differ in terms of their preference for imported products. (F) 13. There is no relationship between cultural power distance and brand image strategies. (F) 14. There is empirical evidence that shows that countries can be clustered in terms of the various dimensions of national cultures. (T) 15. Japanese consumers are so homogeneous that psychographic studies have yielded no unique market segment. (F) 16. Perceptions are formed through a selective and objective process. (F) 17. There is no evidence of country-category effect in the sense that consumers use stereotyping in typing product classes and brands. (F) 18. The effects of country of origin on product perceptions can be moderated by consumer expertise and attribute information. (T) 19. Consumers have general images about certain countries as well as form specific attitudes about products made there. (T) 20. Consumers have stereotyped opinions about specific products from particular countries. (T) 3 21. There is a positive relationship between countries' economic development levels and product evaluations. (T) 22. Country of origin is a multidimensional construct. (T) 23. Country of design may mitigate the effect of country of assembly/manufacturing. (T) 24. Country of design and country of assembly effects are one and the same. (F) 25. Country of origin has the strongest effect on stereotyped image when it is the only cue. (T) 26. The effect of country of origin is strong when it is the only cue, and the effect becomes even stronger when other product cues are included. (F) 27. The effect of country of origin is strong when country of origin is the only cue, but the effect is weakened when multiple cues are used. (T) 28. Country of origin has a halo effect in the sense that a country’s positive or negative image affects all products made in that country. (F) 29. It is appropriate to treat country of origin as a halo effect. (F) 30. The effect of country of origin is a function of product-country match rather than a halo effect. (T) 31. A country's image, rather than being product-specific, has a halo effect. (F) 32. In spite of the inequality implied, social classes are necessary and, in virtually all countries, even desirable. (T) 33. The criteria used in the United States to assign people into social classes are consistent with those used in other countries. (F) 34. The strength of influence of a reference group is constant across product categories. (F) 35. In the United States, the word family has a narrow meaning, and Americans tend to be less family oriented than others. (T) 36. Emphasis on joint, husband-dominated, and wife-dominated decisions varies by stage of the decision process as well as by stage-culture interaction. (T) 37. Because cultural values are not related to innovation resistance, it is appropriate to use a global standardized campaign to introduce new products in foreign markets. (F) 4
