Abstract:This paper explores the mechanism of objective knowledge on risk communication of GM technology by preset models,questionnaires and structural equations.It is found that objective knowledge has no significant direct effect on the risk communication of GM technology,while subjective knowledge can accurately replace objective knowledge,which has a significant predictive effect on the risk perception of GM technology.Objective knowledge and subjective knowledge can indirectly affect the public attitudes of GM technology through the mechanism of enlightening scientific rationality and weakening social rationality.At present,the core of the popularization of GM technology is to establish the legitimacy of knowledge in order to lay the foundation for public understanding and public participation.
