碩士 === 大同大學 === 生物工程學系(所) === 103 === The purpose of this thesis was to investigate junior high school students’ attitudes (cognition, affect, and consuming behavior) towards genetic modified foods (GMFs). Two hundred and ninty nine students, 50.2% boys and 49.8% gilrs, from a junior high school in Taoyuan City in academic year 103 were the study target in this questionnaire survey. Data was statistically analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one way ANOVA, general linear model and Pearson correlation analysis. The result of this research showed: 1. The order of junior high students’ main source of the information to obtain GMFs was from the mass media, classes in school, relatives and friends, the Network, and the government. 2. Based on the analysis of t-test and one way ANOVA, there were significant differences between obtained information from government among different grade of junior high school student’s cognition toward GMFs. 3. According to the results of t-test , the “the relatives and friends” and other sources were two main effective factors for junior high school students to obtain GMFs information. 4. There was a positive correction towards GMFs between student’s affection and the consuming behavior. However, the cognition towards GMFs had no positive correlation with the attitudes towards GMFs. The cognition towards GMFs had also no positive correlation with the consuming behavior towards GMFs.
