转基因技术科学普及的路径选择——基于信息不对称理论的实证检验

Path Selection about Science Popularization of Genetically Modified Technology——Based on Empirical Test of Asymmetric Information Theory

摘要:

路径选择是当前转基因科学普及工作顺利开展的首要任务。本文从理论上探讨了当前公众获取转基因信息的方式,公众对使用的信息发布主体存在明显差异的原因,以及公众对使用的信息发布主体的信任程度呈现明显差异的原因。基于江苏省六市的城市消费者调查数据对转基因技术科学普及的路径选择进行实证检验。在此基础上,为转基因技术科学普及路径选择提出优化对策：加强信息发布主体规范与管理；科普渠道的选取应遵循可信性、可获性和可持续性原则。

Abstract:

Path selection is the first task of science popularization of genetically modified technology. This study analyzes theoretically the ways to acquire information, and the presented features in acquisition of information sources by different consumer clusters, and analyze the credibility of different information sources. The study conducts empirical analysis on path selection based on urban consumers’ survey data sets of Jiangsu province. On basis of all the research contents above, author put forward the following political suggestions for path selection about science popularization of genetically modified technology: Firstly, regulation and supervision of GMFs’ information source should be further strengthened. Secondly, the selection of science popularization channels should submit to the principles of credibility, availability and sustainability.
