Abstract
The study is to develop a tool to measure knowledge, attitude and behavior towards irradiated food derived from three factors of 20 items in regard to the knowledge of irradiated food. The variances in explanatory power for the first, second and third factors were 43.1%, 12.0% and 9.9% respectively, which marked a total of 65.0%. As to the attitude towards irradiated food, one factor was derived from 4 items and this factor, the result of measurement scale analysis, was named "the attitude towards irradiated food". The variance in the explanatory power of this factor was 71.1%. In regard to the behavior towards irradiated food, one factor was derived from 5 items and the variance in its explanatory power was measured to 57.6%, that is total 57.6% was explained.
