越来越多的证据表明，消费者可能会对转基因食品的引入作出反应。研究通常包含一些经验证据和对数据的一些理论解释，然而，迄今为止，在系统审查现有证据及其对政策的影响方面所做的努力有限。本文通过汇集已发表的关于行为框架的证据和导致公众接受转基因食品和生物的过程的证据，为文献做出了贡献。在此过程中，我们采用了一套定义明确的搜索工具和数量有限的综合关键词。这项研究试图了解已发表的关于决定基因改造食物价值的因素的研究结果，包括接受非基因改造食物的意愿和愿意支付额外费用的意愿、对安全和公共卫生信息来源的信任以及支持这些证据的最终态度。此外，根据这些证据，我们制定了一些政策策略，以应对公众对转基因生物，特别是转基因食品的不确定性。(c)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
An increasing set of evidence has been reported on how consumers could potentially react to the introduction of genetically modified food. Studies typically contain some empirical evidence and some theoretical explanations of the data, however, to date limited effort has been posed on systematically reviewing the existing evidence and its implications for policy. This paper contributes to the literature by bringing together the published evidence on the behavioural frameworks and evidence on the process leading to the public acceptance of genetically modified (GM) food and organisms (GMOs). In doing so, we employ a set of clearly defined search tools and a limited number of comprehensive key words. The study attempts to gather an understanding of the published findings on the determinants of the valuation of GM food - both in terms of willingness to accept and the willing-to-pay a premium for non-GM food, trust with information sources on the safety and public health and ultimate attitudes underpinning such evidence. Furthermore, in the light of such evidence, we formulate some policy strategies to deal with public uncertainly regarding to GMOs and, especially GM food. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
