Abstract(in English) We examined the effect of individual differences of cognitive processes on our knowledge on food and food safety. In recent years, while interest in food safety has increased with the development of new technologies useful for food production and manufacturing, few scales measure consumers’ knowledge on food and food safety. Here, we developed the scales on knowledge on food and food safety. We developed questionnaire about knowledge on food in general, food safety, food additives in general, and food additives safety, and developed each scale based on IRT. Using the scales, we analyzed how cognitive processes affect our understanding of food and food safety knowledge. It was revealed that differences in our cognitive processes affect our understanding of food and food safety knowledge (at all scales we developed). In addition, the result shows that individual difference of cognitive processes related to the knowledge on safety rather than that on food and additives in general.
