摘要：On March 11, 2011, the Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake struck offshore Sanriku in Japan, and a nuclear accident occurred in Fukushima Prefecture. The purpose of this study is to identify the structure of purchase awareness regarding foods with Fukushima-sourced ingredients, focusing on three types: fresh agricultural products, sliced and packed vegetables, and box lunches. In March 2018, a web-based questionnaire survey was conducted in the urban areas of Tokyo and Osaka Prefecture. We applied the framework of dual-process theory and carried out a covariance structure analysis. This study showed the possibility that, as with fresh agricultural products from Fukushima, purchases of sliced and packed vegetables and box lunches from Fukushima were also being inhibited by consumers’ awareness of “Anxiety about radiation and nuclear power plants.”
