过去对转基因食品态度的研究主要集中在测量明确的态度。在这里,我们比较了对转基因食品的内隐态度和外显态度。我们使用了去不去的任务,调查上下文无关的转基因食品的内隐评价,并比较这些评价的背景下,普通和有机食品。语义差异量表被用来评估对转基因食品的外显态度。正如预期的那样,对转基因食品的明确态度是中立的。然而,与我们的假设相反,参与者被发现持有积极的,而不是中立的,对转基因食品的隐性态度时,这些是在一个上下文自由的方式进行评估。此外,中性的内隐态度被发现时,在普通或有机食品的背景下,再次与我们的假设对比的态度进行了评估。这些结果表明,对转基因食品的内隐态度比预期的更积极,并可能导致对此类产品的接近行为。因此,如果有选择,消费者可能会接受转基因食品,尽管如果有替代食品,可能需要其他激励措施。
Past research on attitudes towards GM food has focused on measuring explicit attitudes. Here we compared implicit attitudes towards GM foods with explicit attitudes towards GM foods. We used the Go No-Go task to investigate context-free implicit evaluations of GM foods and compared these with evaluations made in the context of ordinary and organic foods. Semantic differential scales were used to evaluate explicit attitudes towards GM foods. As expected, explicit attitudes towards GM foods were found to be neutral. However, contrary to our hypotheses, participants were found to hold positive, rather than neutral, implicit attitudes towards GM foods when these were assessed in a context free manner. In addition, neutral implicit attitudes were found when attitudes were assessed in the context of ordinary or organic foods, again contrasting with our hypotheses. These results imply that implicit attitudes towards GM food are more positive than anticipated and may lead to approach behaviour towards such products. Thus, given the choice, consumers are likely to accept GM food although other incentives may be needed if alternative foods are available.
