Perceptions, Knowledge and ethical concerns with GM foods and the GM process
Compared to their European counterparts, the American public has been characterized as relatively unknowledgeable and indifferent about genetically modified foods. To evaluate these claims, six focus groups were held in three Arkansas cities to: (1) determine the extent of knowledge the public possesses about genetically modified foods; (2) detail perceived benefits and risks associated with agricultural biotechnology applications; and (3) explor…
“Bats, snakes and spiders, Oh my!” How aesthetic and negativistic attitudes, and other concepts predict support for species protection
Resilience in the US red meat industry
Biotechnology, Industrial Agriculture, and the Risk Society
This article evaluates the risk/reflexive society perspective empirically by examining debates surrounding agricultural biotechnologies and the relationships between concepts associated with this perspective and support for agricultural biotechnology applications, using data from a regional U.S. Southwest telephone survey (n = 432). The perspective aided in conceptualizing debates surrounding agricultural biotechnology applications. Proponents of…
Determinants of Food Safety Risks
This research employs a multi-disciplinary approach by developing a model that draws upon psychometric, cultural, and reflexive modernization perspectives of risk perception. Using data from a 1999 national telephone survey, we tested our model on three food risks— pesticides, Salmonella, and fat. Results showed that perceptions of risks do vary by the nature of the risk investigated. Consistent with the psychometric perspective, the level of kno…
