台灣食品危安從塑化劑汙染至今,欲了解消費者信心在食品安全的影響因素,需從消費者、政府與企業三方探討食品風險管理和食品危安後續的溝通發展。本文研究食品安全認知、食品危害的關注程度、監督機構的控管、來源國形象與企業形象對消費者信心的影響。本研究使用簡單迴歸分析其結果顯示:(1)食品安全認知對消費者信心之樂觀有正向影響;對消費者信心之悲觀有負向影響。(2)食品危害的關注程度對消費者信心之樂觀有負向影響;對消費者信心之悲觀有正向影響。(3)監督機構的控管對消費者信心之樂觀有正向影響;對消費者信心之悲觀有負向影響。(4)來源國形象對消費者信心之樂觀有正向影響;企業形象對消費者信心之樂觀有正向影響。上述兩項變數對消費者信心之悲觀影響未獲得支持。
