We adapted and used CETSCALE (Consumer Ethnocentric Tendencies Scale) to measure consumer attitudes. Findings reveal that ethnocentric tendency of Albanian consumers is strong and Turkish products are preferred less than the products of European countries, whereas more than Chinese products in this market.
