What Determines Trust in Information About Food-Related Risks? Underlying Psychological Constructs

Trust in risk information about food related-hazards may be an important determinant of public reactions to risk information. One of the central questions addressed by the risk communication literature is why some individuals and organizations are trusted as sources of risk information and others are not. Industry and government often lack public trust, whereas other sources (for example, consumer organizations, the quality media, medical doctors) are highly trusted. Problematically, previous surveys and questionnaire studies have utilized questions generated by the investigators themselves to assess public perceptions of trust in different sources. Furthermore, no account of the hazard domain was made. In the first study reported here, semistructured interviewing was used to elicit underpinning constructs determining trust and distrust in different sources providing food-related risk information ( n = 35). In the second study, the repertory grid method was used to elicit the terminology that respondents use to distinguish between different potential food-related information sources ( n = 35), the data being submitted to generalised Procrustes analysis. The results of the two studies were combined and validated in survey research ( n = 888) where factor analysis indicated that knowledge in itself does not lead to trust, but that trusted sources are seen to be characterised by multiple positive attributes. Contrary to previous research, complete freedom does not lead to trust—rather sources which possess moderate accountability are seen to be the most trusted.

浅说采访立场和新闻报道的正确性

树立正确的采访立场,确保新闻报道的正确性,是对每个新闻媒体和新闻从业人员的要求。但在实际工作中,新闻报道的"真实性"、"准确性"与"正确性"的内在联系和区别往往混淆不清。正确的新闻报道要在真实性的原则上,解决好"倾向性"的问题,要善于从总体上、本质上和发展趋势上把握事物的"真实性"。同时,新闻报道的正确程度还要接受人民大众的评判和检验,人民的信任是衡量采访立场和新闻报道正确性的尺子。     

Introduction: “There Is a Person Here”: An Interview with Judith Butler

In this interview, the coeditors, along with other contributors, ask Judith Butler a variety of questions regarding queer theory, gender identities, scientific and legal discourse, bodily abjection, race and class positioning, and political organizing. This range of subject matter suggests not only the breadth of Butler's work, but also its applicability to any number of people, whose relation to theory ranges from highly politicized to politically indifferent. The interview demonstrates the responsiveness of Butler's work to cultural translation and political action.

布什政府中东国际广播效能评析

为了缓解“9·11”事件后中东强烈的反关甚至仇美情绪，布什政府决定加大对中东的广播宣传。布什政府认为，从整体上讲，中东的媒体环境对美国是“不友好的”，甚至是“充满敌意的”；中东民众所接触到的有关美国的信息是“不真实的”，甚至是“被歪曲的”。这些“不真实”、“不可靠”的信息误导了中东民众，使他们对美国产生了“误解”和“仇恨”。正是基于这种逻辑，布什政府在“9·11”事件后不久很快建立起包括萨瓦电台、自由电视台、自由阿富汗电台等在内的中东广播网络，目的是宣传美国的外交政策，传播美国的价值观，舒缓中东民众对美国的敌意，增进中东民众对美国的好感。但是从2002年初至今的情况来看，布什政府对中东的广播宣传并没有达到预期的效果，其核心原因在于中东民众对美国中东政策的不满。     

Pro-social behavior in the TV show “Come Dine With Me”: An empirical investigation

We investigate the influence of social approval, reputation, and individual characteristics on voting behavior in the German version of the TV show “Come Dine With Me”. Five contestants prepare a dinner for each other during the course of a week and evaluate each other’s performance. The winner receives a monetary prize. Evaluations remain concealed until the show is broadcast. Because actual voting behavior remains concealed during the show, a contestant could evaluate his/her opponents as zero in an effort to increase his/her own chances of winning, without risking later punishment in the form of low scores. However, this behavior is not observed in our dataset, which runs from 2006 to 2011. We find that all of the following have a significant influence on the evaluating behavior: the objective sophistication of a meal; the order of cooking; whether a person has already cooked; and the social similarity between contestant and evaluator. These findings help to improve understanding of the impact that reputation and social approval have on economic decision making.
