Download or read book Consumers Perceptions of Risk written by Deana Lynn Grobe and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumers' risk perceptions are examined to explain the underlying reasons for consumer concern associated with milk from dairy herds treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH). A focus group study was employed as an initial step in exploring the primary influences of consumer apprehension toward rbGH's use. The information obtained through the focus group sessions was invaluable in strengthening empirical measures of the factors affecting risk perception, and in formulating concise survey questions for a national study. Data from a nationwide survey of 1,910 primary household food purchasers were used in understanding the influence of risk characteristics on consumers' risk perceptions toward rbGH treated herd milk, as well as investigating consumer risk perception profiles. One conclusion is evident from the data, consumers remain concerned about the rbGH product despite FDA approval for commercial use. Results suggest that particular characteristics of the rbGH product hypothesized as being more risky and less tolerable elicit consumer outrage perceptions. Results also showed systematic differences between consumers, producing a range of risk perception profiles. Overall, the results support the idea that consumers' risk perceptions are multi-dimensional and differ in emphasis compared to the risk assessments by scientific experts. Consumers' risk perceptions warrant recognition as playing a vital role in product acceptance. A recommendation proposed for those involved in risk assessment is to integrate consumer beliefs and perceptions into assessments of risk, perhaps increasing consumer trust and reducing product apprehension. Additionally, the range of risk perceptions among consumers imply that one public policy strategy is unlikely to satisfy all consumers. Risk communicators can design more effective risk communication strategies by understanding the ways consumers differ in their behavioral response to a particular perceived concern.

Download or read book Consumer Acceptance of Genetically Modified Foods written by Robert Eugene Evenson and published by CABI. This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there have been increasing concerns about the potential health risks of genetically modified foods. Consumer perceptions vary between countries, but are probably most pronounced in Europe and least in North America. These have had a profound and controversial effect on the development of markets for GM products.This book presents a compilation of studies of consumer acceptance of GM foods. These studies utilized different methods and evidence including: price and expenditure data; experimental methods; "willingness to pay"; consumer attitudes; and economic consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotechnology is a rapidly developing sector of the economy for coun tries throughout the world. This rapid development has led to heated debate over its risks and benefits. Advocates of biotechnology point to the potential benefits offered by products that promise to elimi nate disease, provide for more efficient diagnostic techniques, treatments and drugs, yield increased food production, and so forth. Others fear that the rapid developments of this technology have occurred without appropriate consideration having been given to the ethical ramifications, the potential health risks and long-term envi ronmental impacts, implications for income distribution, and potential for abuse. Consumers and producers share concern for the future of biotechnology: the realities and even the perceptions, informed or otherwise. This book is the outcome of a research project on Biotechnology and the Consumer sponsored by the Office of Consumer Affairs of Industry Canada. The project was designed to foster informed public policy on biotechnology and in particular, to contribute to and inform the Canadian government's development of a Canadian Biotechnology Strategy. The Office funded a group of authors to prepare a series of analytical papers on a range of consumer and informational issues related to biotechnology. This project also involved an interim workshop in which the authors presented their papers, and culmi nated in a symposium on Biotechnology and the Consumer Interest, held on September 24-25, 1997, in Ottawa, Canada.
