This exploratory study investigated current perceptions of genetically modified (GM) food to examine (1) the effects of context (making judgments about GM food at the same time as rating other current areas of concern), and (2) the effect of feelings of dread (integral affect) and background feelings of stress (negative incidental affect) on risk judgments about GM food. An established psychometric method (semantic differential task) used with a sample of 126 adults (recruited \u201ctopic\u2010blind,\u201d mostly from a student population) showed that, when rated in the context of other current concerns such as human cloning and Creutzfeldt\u2010Jakob disease (CJD), there was less concern about GM food than might have been anticipated. Participants were recruited \u201ctopic\u2010blind\u201d in order to ensure that they were unaware that the focus of the research was on GM food specifically (and thus preventing biased recruitment to the study). Relative to 19 other current concerns GM food was \u201cnot dreaded,\u201d not viewed as \u201cunethical,\u201d was judged as \u201ccontrollable,\u201d and was seen as the least \u201crisky\u201d of all the issues studied. GM food was viewed as a \u201chot topic,\u201d a new risk, and as relatively unnatural (although it was not the highest rated concern on this scale). Ratings of risks across concerns by individuals experiencing high levels of negative incidental affect (stress) did not differ significantly from those reporting low stress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0272-4332.2004.00532.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,11,15]],"date-time":"2004-11-15T19:08:46Z","timestamp":1100545726000},"page":"1369-1384","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Effects of Context and Feelings on Perceptions of Genetically Modified Food"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Ellen","family":"Townsend","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David D.","family":"Clarke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Betsy","family":"Travis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","volume-title":"Individual Persons and Their Actions\u2014Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. J.P. de Waele","author":"Clarke D.
