A Cross National Examination of Attitudes Toward Vaccinations and GMOs

• In Event: Policy Attitudes

Abstract

Covid19 has changed the scope of how we evaluate science. Primary among all is how people evaluate vaccinations and link them to consuming Genetically Modified Foods. In this cross national study (including the US, Sweden, and Turkey), we test i) the psychological and attitudinal predictors of reactions to vaccinations and GMOs; ii) the commonalities and differences across nations; iii) the association of disgust sensitivity with attitudes on vaccinations and GMOs.

We have collected all the required data and looking forward to write up the manuscript until the APSA conference.
