“…While, in the sample of university students (92.20%) in relation to the urban sample (93.69%) they propose that when promoting in any medium, a product with GMO content, the characteristics of the products should be made known to the individuals and finally, in the university students sample (92.50%), while in the urban sample (92.23%) agree that the Mexican government must legislate the corresponding legal framework to force the labeling of products with GMO content (Montesinos-López, et al, 2017). The above findings are consistent with studies conducted with students in Russia (Delmond et al, 2018), Kuwait (Nedaa & Al, 2018) and in India ( Kajale & Becker, 2013).…”

Introduction:To know the perceptions and attitudes about the labeling of products made with genetically modified organisms (GMO), of students from five universities in central Mexico, in the following areas of knowledge: natural sciences, health sciences, chemical sciences, economic and administrative sciences and biological and agricultural sciences. Methodological design and approach: In the study, 2923 students answered a questionnaire with Likert scale of five questions. It is important to mention that the original questionnaire has 64 variables and 11 factors to measure the perceptions, attitudes, benefits and risks on the production and consumption of GMO. Results: Of the total sample 16.60% always read the labels, 85.70% agree that the label should show the characteristics of the product. 82.90% said that when making promotions should be reported on the label the characteristics of the product and finally 82.90% answered that the Mexican government should legislate a legal framework to regulate the mandatory labeling of products made with GMOs. Discussion or Conclusion. The sample only cover 5 Mexican universities. The relevant contribution of this research provides an empirical knowledge about the perceptions and attitudes regarding the labeling of products with GMOs content from a sample of the population of five public universities in central Mexico. This study is an important contribution for Mexican society, because there is no legal framework to regulate the labeling of products with GMO content and that it is essential to strengthen the training of university students with scientific information in this field. The labeling of products made with GMOs is generating relevant controversies worldwide, so it is important to know and spread the perceptions and attitudes of the sample considered in this study.

“…The use of the OOHB DC question type offered by Cooper et al [18] is able to resolve problems such as the inefficiency of the first method and the inconsistency of the second method. The merits of the OOHB DC format have promoted its application in a substantial number of previous studies [21][22][23][24][25]. Consequently, this article utilized the OOHB DC question method.…”

Due to air pollution and greenhouse gases issues associated with the use of fossil fuels and nuclear safety issues after the Fukushima accident, consumers are increasingly in favor of commodities produced using electricity generated from relatively expensive renewable energy (RE) rather than cheap fossil fuels or nuclear energy. This is usually called 'RE100'. The objective of this study is to examine South Korean consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) price premium for a RE100 commodity using the specific case of smartphones. We accomplished the purpose by conducting a contingent valuation survey of 1000 individuals in August 2018 and analyzing the data gathered from the survey. In addition, the spike model was applied to dealing with the zero WTP responses. Based on the analysis results, an average price premium was statistically significantly estimated to be KRW 11,699 (USD 10.5) for all respondents. This is worth 1.6% of the price for a conventional non-RE100 smartphone (KRW 750,000 or USD 673.9) and is higher than the cost increase (0.97%) when producing RE100 smartphones. Therefore, it can be seen that South Korean consumers have sufficient acceptance for RE100 smartphones.

“…Another factor affecting consumers' decisions could be price sensitivity. Besides the influence of GM food perceptions, research shows that consumers who were sensitive to food prices were more likely to buy GM foods [Delmond et al, 2018]. Since this study uses secondary data, despite its expected theoretical and practical contributions for understanding GM food decisions, we cannot demonstrate if perceived behavior control (PBC) such as price sensitivity plays a role in people's decisions.…”

This study explores the effects of food science perception on food decisions in the controversial case of genetically modified (GM) foods. We examine (1) how scientific consensus and scientific deference affect the public perception of GM foods; and (2) how perception and healthy eating interest influence people's actual food consumption decisions. We categorized our samples into four groups based on different risk/benefit perceptions of GM food: tradeoff, relaxed, skeptical, and uninterested in the process of further data analysis.
