Consumer Attitudes Toward GMOs: The Ohio Experience

Abstract: Data were collected from 902 rural and urban residents of Ohio during the winter of 2003 to assess attitudes toward the production of genetically modified (GM) plants and animals. Attitudes were assessed using Likert-type attitude statements. The theoretical perspective used in the investigation was developed from diffusion and risk perception theories. Regression modeling demonstrated that the theoretical model was very good for predicting variability in attitudes toward GM plants and animals. Approximately 6… Show more

“…Sin embargo, al considerar que sólo 26,3% de los encuestados conocía el signifi cado de AT es posible señalar que el conocimiento de la población es aun bajo, situación que concuerda con resultados reportados en EUA (Byrne, 2006) y Santiago, Chile (Gil et al, 2001). En este sentido, la aprobación generalizada de la muestra total (99,3%) respecto a incluir en la etiqueta de los alimentos información del uso de ingredientes MG, representa la opción de estar informado para elegir (Anderson y Jackson, 2005;Mucci y Hough, 2004;Napier et al, 2004).…”

“…En forma concordante Ho et al (2006) y Huang et al (2006) determinaron que los consumidores chinos no tienen una posición clara frente al consumo de ATs por falta de conocimiento. Benefi cios sustanciales, como un menor precio (Kaye-Blake et al, 2005;Jaeger et al, 2004;Noussair et al, 2004;Hossain et al, 2003;Lusk et al, 2002), mayor valor nutritivo (KayeBlake et al, 2005;Lähteenmäki et al, 2003), benefi cios para la salud o el medio ambiente (Ganiere et al, 2006;Kaye-Blake et al, 2005;Mucci y Hough;Napier et al, 2004;Lähteenmäki et al, 2003) o un mejor sabor (Hossain et al, 2003;Lähteenmäki et al, 2003), compensarían el riesgo percibido resultando en una actitud positiva hacia los ATs.…”

“…However, at the product level, any commercial strategy to introduce foods produced with nanotechnology into the Chilean market would have to consider the support of widely recognized manufacturers' brands that inspire confidence. In the area of promotion, consumers must be informed of the risks and benefits associated with nanotechnology, as the public appreciates receiving information that can facilitate the decision to buy traditionally produced foods or foods produced with new technologies (Napier et al, 2004). Therefore, the norms for food labelling in Chile would need to contemplate the inclusion of information on the form of production, clearly indicating whether the food was produced with nanotechnology.…”
