biotechnology, James F. Evans Collection, The extent and sources of public opposition to the use of genetic engineering in agricultural production are examined through data from telephone interviews with 220 farmers and 332 nonfarmers living in eight North Carolina counties. A model suggesting that public opposition to genetic engineering is influenced by demographic characteristics mediated by three intervening variables (awareness of genetic engineering, faith in government and industry, and moral objection to genetic engineering) is analyzed. Moral objection is the strongest predictor of opposition. Opposition is also related to lower awareness and less faith in institutions. Women are more likely to oppose genetic engineering than men. Implications of findings are noted. (original)

James F. Evans Collection, Diet and health attitudes affect food consumption behavior. The National Dairy Board provided information on the benefits of calcium and dairy products in a 1985-86 national advertising campaign. A latent variable measuring consumer attitudes, constructed based on an ad tracking survey, is shown to have a positive effect on both the probability of dairy product purchase as well as the quantity of dairy products purchased. The consumption data were from the USDA "Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals." (original)
