Regional animosity was investigated as a moderating variable. Data were collected from 602 food and beverage buyers. Results indicated that both identification and ethnocentrism triggered brand defense, while only ethnocentrism induced oppositional loyalty. Brand defense mediated identification/ethnocentrism relationships with oppositional loyalty. Animosity moderated model relationships with oppositional loyalty. Oppositional loyalty and brand defense are also explored as consequences of place-of-origin constructs, enriching the literature and examining unexplored relationships in this context. 0896-1530 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/9705 10.1080/08961530.2022.2108182 1528-7068 Brand defense Food and beverage industry In-group identification and ethnocentrism Oppositional loyalty Out-group animosity Will you support or oppose?
