Abstract
This study seeks to examine whether intra-national diversity can be as salient as cross-national differences. Data on attitudes toward money, material possessions and savings were collected from 730 consumers in Australia, Canada and China. On the basis of ethnicity, the sample was divided into five sub-groups: Caucasians in Australia, Chinese in Australia, Caucasians in Canada, Chinese in Canada, and Chinese in China. Results of bivariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the Chinese who were born and raised in Australia and Canada were more similar to their counterparts in China than the Caucasians in Australia and Canada. The implications
of these findings for cross-cultural research and practice are discussed.
