Therefore, identifying the impact of the Ethnocentrism on the Consumer Impulsive Buying Behaviour moderated by the Consumer Impulsiveness trait is the key issue of this study. The hypotheses were formulated to verify the relationship between the variables; in order to answer the research questions. The data collection was done with a sample of 350 consumers. The tool used to collect data was a questionnaire and it was developed using already developed measurements by researchers. The key findings of the study were that the Sri Lankan dairy product consumers have medium level Impulsiveness and there is a positive relationship between Ethnocentrism and Impulsive Buying Behaviour. But when this relationship is moderated by the Impulsiveness trait the relationship gets stronger. When the ethnocentric consumers involve in the purchasing, most of the time, goes with a pre-planned purchasing decision. Therefore, all the local and multinational companies should get into activities that can stimulate and arouse the impulsiveness personality trait of the milk powder consumers.
