Abstract

This study examines Chinese civil servants\' attitudes toward genetically modified organisms by reviewing a national survey of 3,018 Chinese civil servants. The findings show that Chinese civil servants hold a more positive attitude to GMOs than the wider Chinese \"general public\", with a similar level of genetic scientific literacy and belief in GMOs conspiracy theories and their influence mechanisms. While the Chinese civil servants\' occupational literacy plays an important role in their GMOs attitude. This study provides a new mind-set for studying some specific groups\' attitudes toward GMOs and related food policies.

摘要

本研究通过对3,018名中国公务员的全国调查，考察了中国公务员对转基因生物的态度。调查结果表明，中国公务员对转基因生物的态度比更广泛的中国“普通公众”更为积极，具有相似的遗传科学素养和对转基因生物阴谋论及其影响机制的信念。而中国公务员的职业素养在其转基因态度中起着重要作用。这项研究为研究某些特定群体对转基因生物和相关食品政策的态度提供了新的思路。
