Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 觀光與餐旅管理系 === 99 === Kaohsiung consumers filled out a questionnaire on attitudes towards genetically modified, organic and functional food, plus the thinking predispositions, health consciousness scale, value survey and the behavioural inhibition scale, in addition, they reported their diet category. Structural equation modeling of these measures had greater explanatory power for attitudes towards genetically modified (GM) foods than for attitudes towards organic foods (OF) and functional foods (FF). GM attitudes were best predicated by thinking predispositions, attitudes towards organic food and functional food, on the other hand, were more directly related to thinking predispositions and set of behavioural inhibition. The results of the study indicate that OF attitudes are rooted in more fundamental personal attributes than GM attitudes, which are embedded in a more complex but also in a more modifiable network of characteristics.
