Perceptions of hygiene consciousness
Participants in this study perceived themselves to have
high levels of hygiene consciousness, with 60% perceiving
themselves as being very conscious of food safety (Table 3).
As indicated in Table 3, hygiene consciousness was perceived
to be significantly greater for self than the perceived hygiene
consciousness of others (P < 0.001). Only 28% believed
others to have the same level of hygiene consciousness
as themselves. It was determined in this study that no
significant differences existed in perceived levels of hygiene
consciousness according to the gender, age group, or selfreported
cooking frequency of participants (P > 0.05).
Significantly lower levels of hygiene consciousness were
determined among those who had experienced foodborne
illness (P = 0.026), with 52% reporting high levels of hygiene
consciousness compared with 71% of those who had not
experienced foodborne illness (Table 4).

Relationships between perceptions of risk, control,
and responsibility
The relationship between perceived risk, control,
responsibility, and hygiene consciousness was investigated
using the Spearman rank order correlation. Preliminary
analyses were performed to ensure no violations. As
illustrated in Table 5, the statistical analyses identified that
there were strong positive correlations (r = 0.50 to 1.0)
between each of the variables (P < 0.001), with 57 to 69%
shared variance. Findings indicate that low levels of perceived
risk were associated with high levels of perceived control,
high levels of responsibility, and high levels of hygiene
consciousness, whereas high levels of perceived risk were
associated with low levels of perceived control, low levels of
responsibility, and low levels of hygiene consciousness.
