Although quite a lot of research has been conducted on the effect of country-of-origin on consumers’ attitudes towards foreign products, this study moves a step beyond. First, we follow Roth and Diamantopoulos’ (2009) recommendation to disentangle country image in terms of its cognitive and affective dimensions, while treating the conative dimension (e.g., attitude) as a result of the former two. Besides, we explicitly disaggregate the cognitive dimension in geographic and human aspects. Additionally, we build an explanatory model with different categories of products – nature-based, industrialized and hedonic – and posit that there are differential effects of the country image dimensions on each particular product category. We run a Web survey to collect data from French consumers on their assessment of cognitive and affective aspects of two countries – Brazil and Germany – and their attitude towards three product categories. Structural equation modeling is used to estimate model parameters. Empirical results corroborate our hypotheses.
