This study looks at how global media consumption is related to Chinese consumers’
attitudes toward global signs (i.e., foreign models and foreign languages) in
advertising. Findings confirm the mediating effect of global mindset, suggesting that
global media consumption indirectly influences attitudes toward foreign models and
foreign languages by affecting global mindset. Data further reveals the moderated
mediation of global mindset by consumer ethnocentrism-as consumer ethnocentrism
increased, the mediating effect of global mindset became stronger.
