  • Survey:Attitudes toward Genetically Modified Foods

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Zhenzhen Tong, and I am a master student in educational psychology at the University of Connecticut. I am working on my research, which focuses on people's attitudes toward Genetically Modified foods (GM foods).

    Definition of GM foods:

    Genetically modified foods are foods produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering.” (Wikipedia, March 10, 2014)

    I am conducting a study called Attitudes toward GM foods, which will attempt to assess people's attitudes and belief about GM foods, and labeling law of GM foods. This study will examine this via an online survey consisting of a small knowledge quiz of genetic, and a questionnaire about how you think about GM foods. The whole survey will take you about 10 minutes.

    If you are interested in participating, please follow this link:  https://uconn.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_ah5mTaNeYver1Fr

    The last page of survey will request you enter gender, age range, and education level anonymously.

    This study was approved by the UConn IRB, Protocol #H12-024. 

    Thanks for your participanting!
