“…Finally, there were a group of younger participants who are unconcerned about food safety, which may partly be attributed to the 'invincibility of youth ' (van Exel et al 2006) but may also reflect a larger theme in this paper around ambiguity, uncertainty and contingency. Whilst the young people were more overtly unconcerned about reflecting on food governance or food safety issues, the majority of participants exhibited uncertainties around 'who establishes rules for food safety,' 'who undertakes surveillance and policing of food quality and safety' and so on.…”

International research demonstrates diminishing trust in the food supply associated with food scares which undermine trust in expert advice. Even though Australia has not experienced major food scares, there is evidence of diminishing trust in the food supply. Interviews were conducted with 47 South Australian food shoppers from high (n=17) and low (n=16) socioeconomic regions of Adelaide and from rural South Australia (n=14) about food governance and trust in the Australian food supply. Participants display a high level of trust in the food supply associated with a perception that Australian food is safe; a lack of exposure to food risks; and trust in personal food safety practices. The media was the only factor which created distrust in the food system.Other participants express confidence in the food supply where confidence is understood as a lack of reflection. Contrary to concepts of reflexive modernization which presume an increasing awareness of risk and placement of trust as a means of reducing uncertainly, participants adopt an 'innocent until proven guilty' approach displaying little knowledge or interest in knowing about food regulation relying instead on routine food safety practices as a means of managing uncertainty.

“…Nonetheless, even though our matching of survey respondents with the caregiver attitudes from the Q-study seems feasible and reliable, it would be worthwhile to explore less complex procedures. With Q-methodology becoming increasingly popular in health services research [31][32][33][34][35][36], such a procedure could promote this logical mix of methods in future research.…”

“…Esta correspondencia quedaría justificada por el hecho de que, como bien apuntan Van Exel, de Graaf y Brouwer (2006), en la actualidad, los jóvenes parecen cada vez más interesados en su salud futura. Como prueba de ello, destaca el análisis realizado por Thunfors, Collins y Hanlon (2009).…”

Introducción. A pesar de los beneficios reconocidos sobre la práctica de la actividad físico-deportiva, las evidencias obtenidas en diversos estudios indican que no es una práctica habitual en los nuevos estilos de vida de los jóvenes, lo que supone una incidencia negativa en la calidad de vida. De ahí, el interés por conocer los principales motivos que conducirían a estos adolescentes españoles a la realización de este tipo de prácticas.Método. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal, empleando el cuestionario "Motivos de práctica físico-deportiva en la etapa adolescente", con 10 ítems que discriminan adecuadamente y obtienen una consistencia elevada. El análisis descriptivo, factorial e inferencial, nos permite obtener la opinión de 857 estudiantes acerca de los motivos que tienen y si difiere en función del sexo del tipo de centro educativo.Resultados. Los principales motivos de participación resultan ser por estar sano y en forma, porque les gusta hacer deporte y porque les divierte para ocupar el tiempo libre. Los motivos menos valorados son para agradar a los padres y porque los familiares cercanos también practican. Respecto a las diferencias por género, los chicos conceden mayor importancia a la práctica por satisfacción con la competición, por querer hacer carrera deportiva en el futuro, por el gusto hacia el deporte y porque los mejores amigos también practican. Discusión y conclusiones.A partir de los resultados se evidencia el interés de promover entre los adolescentes aquellos aspectos que les motivan hacia la práctica físico-deportiva.
