Abstract

Attitudes toward food are one of the most critical factors related to consumer behavior in the food market. Therefore, identifying attitudes toward a specific food product may be essential for identifying factors influencing certain behaviors regarding game. In addition, game meat is a valuable food that can increase the variety of meat and reduce the intensive breeding of slaughter animals. Therefore, a research gap was found regarding the lack of a tool for identifying attitudes toward game that would allow for the acquisition of data valid for studying conditions related to game consumption. The study aims to validate a developed scale for identifying the attitudes of young Tri-City residents toward game. To collect the database, two groups of respondents are involved in the validation procedure. This procedure includes validation of content, response process, and statistical validation. The scale is validated, and four domains are distinguished based on the PCA test. The validated scale consists of 10 statements (initially 11). The estimated Cronbach’s alpha (0.6944) indicates good scale internal consistency. The developed scale can be used to identify attitudes of young Tri-City residents toward game and search for links between these attitudes and behaviors related to game consumption.
