浅谈消费者对转基因食品的认知及态度

目前,我国消费者对转基因食品的认知仍处于一个混淆状态,这个问题也成为当今社会食品安全方面备受关注的问题。本文以浅谈消费者对转基因食品的认知及态度为题,阐明我国当前转基因食品的消费状态和存在的问题、笔者在转基因食品消费观念,并就我国今后如何加强转基因食品的宣传和管理提出相关政策方面的建议和意见。     

消费者对转基因食品的认知态度和购买意愿

随着生物技术的发展,越来越多的转基因食品进入了人类的食物链,但消费者对其的态度却不尽相同,明确了解消费者对转基因食品的认知态度及购买意愿将有助于生产者及政府的决策。根据辽宁省十个城市消费者进行的问卷调查数据,深入研究了城市消费者对转基因食品的认知态度及购买意愿。     

消费者对转基因食品的认知、态度及购买意愿研究——基于广州市消费者调查

转基因食品发展迅速。但长期以来,也因其安全性等方面的问题也受到了很多的质疑,其支持者和反对者各执一词。但广大的普通消费者具体又是如何看待转基因食品的呢?笔者以广州市200多名消费者为样本,就消费者对转基因食品的认知、态度和购买意愿进行了调查。结果显示消费者对转基因食品的认知程度相对是比较高的,但是了解程度比较低;而对转基因食品的态度整体来说比较积极和乐观;在购买意向上对转基因水果和蔬菜的意向最强,而消费者对转基因食品的态度和购买意向与人口统计学特征之间的关联不是很明显。在此研究基础上,笔者提出了几点建议和一点将来研究方向。     

转基因食品消费者态度研究综述

随着消费者自我保护意识日益增强,转基因技术在食品中的应用和推广越来越有赖于其支持,因而,消费者对转基因食品的态度日益成为学政两界关注的热点。本文从转基因食品的发展现状、消费者对其的态度差异、消费者态度的影响因素三个方面总结了近期国内外一系列有价值的研究成果,并针对目前调查方法和研究方法的不足提出了建议。     

浅析消费者对转基因食品的态度

尽管转基因食品能够为人类带来许多利益,但是,由于可能存在的健康风险、环境风险等问题,各国对转基因食品展开了激烈的争论。在这场争论中,消费者的态度扮演着十分关键的角色。本文详细介绍了农业转基因技术的应用现状和各国消费者对转基因食品的争论,并且分析了研究消费者态度对发达国家和中国的现实意义。     

关于消费者对转基因食品的认知态度及标识的分析

转基因食品就是利用生物技术,将某些生物的基因转移到其他物种中去,改造生物的道传物质,使其向人们所需要的目标转变.消费者对于自己的认知水平过于乐观,大部分人都声称对转基因食品有所了解,但其实并不真正了解.转基因食品可能带来经济效益和社会效益,也可能对人类健康和生态环境造成潜在风险和威胁,因此,消费者对转基因食品的态度比较复杂.对转基因食品实行强制标识,赋予了消费者基本的知情权和自主选择权.     

温州地区消费者对转基因食品的认知调查与分析

转基因食品的安全问题备受社会各界人士瞩目,人们对转基因食品的认知将直接影响转基因食品市场的发展。本文采用问卷调查的形式,开展温州地区消费者对转基因食品的认知状况的调查。数据结果显示温州地区消费者对转基因食品的认知和认可度较低,82.03%的消费者听过转基因食品,59.78%、3.52%和36.72%的消费者表示一般了解、非常了解和不了解转基因食品。温州市场上有30.78%的豆奶产品包装未有转基因标识,转基因标识制度仍有待提高。同时,温州地区72.84%消费者表示对转基因食品安全管理法不了解,有86.38%的消费者希望得到相关法规的普及。最后,本文提出对提高消费者的转基因食品认识和接受度,加强转基因食品的标识制度,维护消费者对转基因食品的知情选择权等建议。     

现阶段消费者对转基因食品的认知及购买意愿分析--基于对南京市消费者的调查

目前,消费者对转基因食品持有不同的态度。明确了解消费者的态度及其购买转基因食品的意愿将有助于生产者及政府的决策。本文通过对南京市的超市消费者进行的问卷调查分析,得出了现阶段南京市消费者对转基因食品的认知度还比较低,接受程度也不高的结论。而转基因食品价格、消费者的收入、受教育程度等因素会对其购买意愿产生较大影响。

Cognition, Persuasion and Decision Making in Older Consumers

Older adults constitute a rapidly growing demographic segment, but relatively little is known about them within consumer contexts: how they process information, respond to persuasive messages, and make decisions. We discuss extant findings from consumer behavior and related disciplines (e.g., cognitive psychology, neuroscience, social psychology, gerontology) as they pertain to the effects of aging on consumer memory, persuasion and decision The first two authors co-chaired the workshop at the Choice Symposium and made major and equal contributions to this article. The remaining authors were participants in the workshop. They also contributed to this article and are listed in alphabetical order. We wish to thank the editor and Cathy Cole for their helpful comments on the paper. The article, including a more complete list of references, was shortened to meet the page-length constraints of the special issue. The longer version is available upon request from the senior authors.     

An Investigation of Decision‐Making Styles of Consumers in China

This study investigates Chinese consumers' decision‐making styles. The Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) is administered to 387 adult consumers in China. Both an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis are adopted to validate the CSI inventory. This results in an eighteen‐item and seven‐factor solution. Findings indicate that five decision‐making styles are valid and reliable in Chinese culture: perfectionistic, novelty‐fashion conscious, recreational, price conscious, and confused by overchoice. Cluster analysis is employed to identify prominent market segments. Based on the findings, three segments are formed: trendy and perfectionistic consumer, traditional and pragmatic consumer, as well as confused by overchoice consumer. Marketing and management implications are discussed.     

Attitudes and Habit in Value Perception for Foods

Despite the fact that attitudes and habit can substantially aid understanding of individual food purchase behavior, no theoretical framework explains how these two factors interact and influence behavior in the presence of the respective other factor. Due to this gap in the scientific literature, this study presents a model that focuses on direct attitude and habit effects as well as on attitude–habit interactions. The proposed model is tested by employing household panel data on two food product categories. The robustness of estimation results is ensured by applying a multilevel model that accounts for individual heterogeneity. Results show that both attitudes and habits contribute to explaining purchase behavior. However, in the presence of strong habits the effects of attitudes become smaller even if attitudes are strong. These results imply that attitudes and habits are linked hierarchically. As habits control attitude effects, food marketers must find strategies to help customers overcoming habitual purchase behavior. Some of these strategies are discussed at the end of this article.     

The Effect of Implicit Moral Attitudes on Managerial Decision-Making: An Implicit Social Cognition Approach

This article concerns itself with the relationship between implicit moral cognitions and decisions in the realm of business ethics. Traditionally, business ethics research emphasized the effects of overt or␣explicit attitudes on ethical decision-making and neglected intuitive or implicit attitudes. Therefore, based on an implicit social cognition approach it is important to␣know whether implicit moral attitudes may have a substantial impact on managerial ethical decision-making processes. To test this thesis, a study with 50 participants was conducted. In this study the participants were asked to work on a deliberative managerial ethical decision-making task, in which they had to decide on one of two options. Implicit moral attitudes towards the two options were measured using the implicit association test (IAT). A semantic differential scale was used to diagnose explicit moral attitudes towards the two options. Each step taken within the deliberative decision-making process, as well the decision itself, was assessed using a scoring model-based decision analysis and a decision-making questionnaire. The results of this study show that implicit moral attitude has a great influence on the deliberative ethical decision-making process. The derived conclusion is that complex and deliberative decision-making processes in the context of business ethics can be affected by implicit social cognitions such as implicit moral attitudes.     

Factors That Affect the Attitudes of Consumers Toward Halal-Certified Products in Turkey

Halal is an Arabic word that means lawful or permitted in reference to Islam. Muslims are responsible for consuming goods that are lawful. However, the target consumer group for halal food is not only Muslim people but also consumers who seek hygienic and quality products. Halal concept is not limited with foods; it covers cosmetics, finance, logistics, and many other sectors. This study aims to determine the factors that affect the attitudes of consumers toward halal foods and to show the effects of religiosity, perceived risk, and involvement on halal food preferences in Turkey.     

The Value to Consumers of Health Labeling Statements on Breakfast Foods and Cereals

Food manufacturers have an incentive to include nutrient content claims, health claims, or other types of labeling statements on foods if they believe that consumers will be willing to pay more for products with specific attributes. We estimated semi-log hedonic price regressions for five breakfast bar and cereal product categories using Nielsen Scantrack scanner data for 2004 and found that labeling statements for these foods are often associated with substantially higher prices, reflecting higher implicit value to consumers. The largest effects were associated with “carb-conscious” carbohydrate labeling (reflecting the time period of the data), followed by fat and sugar content labeling statements.     

Attitudes of Businessmen,Consumers, and Consumerists Toward Consumerism

Despite the apparent concern about consumerism issues by various groups, it appears that much of this concern has been based on speculation and casual observations. There is a paucity of empirical research regarding attitudes toward consumerism. This study is the first to assess the attitudes of businessmen, consumers and consumerists—all from the same geographic and market environmenttoward several important consumerism issues. The results, which show significant differences in various areas, have important policy implications for consumerists, politicians and businessmen.
