“…5 We omitted items concerning the reality of limits to growth and rejection of exemptionalism. In studies utilizing the NEP scale, it is common practice to only use parts of this scale or to revise some statements to reflect the particular focus of the study (see, e.g., Clark et al, 2003;Fishman andSmith, 2013, or Hall andMoran, 2006). In Hawcroft's and Milfont's (2010) meta-analysis on studies utilizing the differing versions of the NEP scale, the internal consistency for all samples used in this survey was reasonably strong.…”

“…These two sources reflect opposite positions in the GM debate and are believed to spread contradicting information (Blancke et al 2015;Dunwell 2014). Environmental NGOs are considered as the most risk-averse actors when considering the use of GM technology in society (Hall and Moran 2006). Higher trust is suggested to induce more negative perceptions of GMOs through active risk communication (Maeseele and Schuurman 2008).…”

Variables Affecting Secondary School Students’ Willingness to Eat Genetically Modified Food Crops

et al. 2017

A large-scale cross-sectional study (N = 4002) was set up to determine Flemish secondary school students' willingness to eat genetically modified food (WTE) and to link students' WTE to previously identified key variables from research on the acceptance of genetic modification (GM). These variables include subjective and objective knowledge about genetics and biotechnology, perceived risks and benefits of GM food crops, trust in information from different sources about GM, and food neophobia. Differences between WTE-related variables based on students' grade level, educational track, and gender were analyzed. The students displayed a rather indecisive position toward GM food and scored weakly on a genetics and biotechnology knowledge test. WTE correlated most strongly with perceived benefits and subjective and objective knowledge. The results have clear implications for education, as they reiterate the need to strengthen students' scientific knowledge base and to introduce a GM-related debate at a much earlier stage in their school career.

“…Men appeared unsure if they would purchase GMOs, while women agreed they were unlikely to engage in purchasing behaviors (Pounds, 2014). Other studies have determined that women held more negative perceptions of genetically modified food compared to men (Ishiyama et al, 2011;Lockie, Lawrence, Lyons, & Grice, 2005) and were less likely to accept GMOs (Hall & Moran, 2006). Research has also concluded that younger consumers have held more favorable attitudes toward genetically modified food (Antonopoulou, Papadas, & Targoutzidis, 2009) but are unsure about the benefits and risks associated with the products (Ruth, Gay, Rumble, & Rodriguez, 2015).…”
