| Abstract: | This article examines the possible effects of self-concept, self-monitoring and moral developments on dimensions of consumers' ethical attitudes. Four dimensions of Turkis consumers' ethical attitudes are defined by factor analysis. These are "actively benefiting from illegal activities", "actively benefiting from deceptive practices" and "no harm/no foul 1-2". Data is collected from 516 Turkish households. The results show that self-monitoring and moral development level predicted consumer ethics in relation to "actively benefiting from questionable practices" and "no harm/no foul" dimensions. It is also shown that age and gender make significant differences in consumers' ethical attribute dimensions. |
