This paper is an empirical study of chinese consumers' lifestyle by country of origin effect of mobile phone. The data we analyze in this paper was collected and studied in Kim et al. (2006, 2007). We classify the respondents into the four groups according to the responses of country of origin effect of mobile phone. The four groups are group K (preference in made in Korea), group J (preference in made in Japan), group U (preference in made in USA), and group C (preference in made in China). One-way ANOVA and stepwise discriminant analysis are applied to classify the training sample which consists of 89 lifestyle variables and two personnel information. It is observed that group K is more open-minded, out front, aggressive, and self-assertive compared to group C.
