food labels, AGRICOLA FNI 92002051, In the early stages of number coding for food additives it is essential to evaluate how well consumers can identify and interpret this system and assess their attitudes to its introduction. This was tested in a study when 502 consumers were interviewed by questionnaire in six Perth suburban supermarkets and the same questionnaire was mailed to 50 members of the Allergy Association of Australia living in Western Australia. Results reported in this paper indicate only a little over a third of the general public group were able to make use of the system correctly, whereas the majority of those with recognized allergies had no problem. The data showed that in general the uses of additives in food are misunderstood and that there is a need for consumer education, ideally with the shopping center as a venue. (original)

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, Consumer concerns over pesticide residues and food additives have been growing in industrialized societies, including the United States and Japan. However, little comparative research has been carried out to determine which household characteristics may be significantly associated with these heightened concerns, and whether or not the same factors are useful for understanding variation in these worries in more than one society. This paper examines food safety attitudes in Seattle, Washington, and Kobe, Japan, and discovers that while the absolute level of expressed concern is higher in Kobe, the predictive power of household characteristics in explaining attitudinal differences within countries is similar. Implications for rural areas and future research on family structures in capitalists societies are discussed. (original)

James F. Evans Collection, Mimeographed, 1992. 19 p. Paper presented at 1992 Convention of the Mass Communication and Society Division, Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication; Montreal, Canada, The present experimental study examined television environmental commercials' agenda-setting effects. It was hypothesized that environmental commercials will have agenda-setting effects on the audience. However, the obtrusiveness and concreteness of the issue under study will influence the strength of the effects. Three television commercials with different levels of obtrusiveness and concreteness were selected and edited into regular television programs' commercial breaks. One experimental and two control groups were used and comparisons about their perceived importance of these environmental issues mentioned in these commercials were made among these three groups. The results did support the hypothesis; the proposed model suggests that the interactions between the obtrusiveness and concreteness of the issuer under study does influence the strength of the commercials' agenda-setting effects. The strongest agenda-setting effects are found when the issue is unobtrusive and concrete. When the issue is strong on either obtrusiveness or abstractness, no agenda-setting effects will be produced. However, when an obtrusive issue is under study, the abstractness of the issue will increase its agenda-setting effects and vice versa. The explanation seems to be that the abstractness of an obtrusiveness issue will disguise the nature (obtrusiveness) of this issue, so the audience's agenda will be affected more easily than an obtrusive and concrete issue.
