Abstract
The paper examines consumers’ attitudes towards new food by means of the Food Neophobia Scale (FNS). Among the new food trends, ethnic food, that is, food specific to a country or culture, is becoming more present in Spain boosted by immigration. The FNS allows the identification of consumers’ profiles with more and less propensity to consume new foodstuffs, and we evaluate these profiles in relation to consumption and purchase habits of ethnic food. The results constitute a first step onto the insight of the potential of the ethnic food market in Spain.

A series of multiple regression analyses revealed that disliking and danger are both good predictors of willingness totry novel foods while willingness to try familiar foods is predicted only by disliking.

The overall opinion and degree of satisfaction of the Belgian sample towards ethnic food were favourable and Latin‐American food consumption and attitude of Belgians are negatively correlated with mainstream Belgian food.

281 Citations2006Lucy Cooke, Susan Carnell +1 more
It appears that children who score highly on the CFNS eat less fruit, vegetables and protein foods than their less neophobic peers, which supports previous research that has suggested that neophobia impacts differentially on consumption of different food types.
AppetiteValidation and cross-national comparison of the food neophobia scale (FNS) using confirmatory factor analysis

The results supported the conclusion that people from Sweden are generally more willing to try novel foods as compared to people from the US and Finland.
AppetiteAssessing Food Neophobia: The Role of Stimulus Familiarity
232 Citations1999Bryan Raudenbush, Robert Frank
It is concluded that neophobics have different expectancies about unfamiliar foods, and that these expectancies influence food sampling and rating behaviors.

231 Citations1997Ulla‐Kaisa Koivisto Hursti, Per‐Olow Sjödén
Food neophobia seems to be related to everyday food choice, and strongly neophobic subjects in all groups of family members were less likely to have eaten the listed foods than were the less neophobic.

Attitudes and subjective norms measured before tasting were poor predictors of purchase intents after tasting, which implies the importance of taste and direct product experience in food choice.

Greater exposure to cultural diversity and higher SES has some influence on adolescents' responses to unfamiliar foods, but the relationship between these factors and the FNS score is tenuous.

The results suggest that a major feature of the development of food selection is learning what not to eat, and almost all children at all ages tested accept combinations of foods which, although individually accepted by adults, are rejected in combination.
AppetiteEffects of a Model on Food Neophobia in Humans
114 Citations1995Karen L. Hobden, Patricia Pliner
Study 2 clarified the results of study 1, revealing that the phenomenon was modeling and not conformity, that even highly neophobic subjects can be influenced by a stronger modeling manipulation, that food neophobia can be both increased and decreased, and that the reduced neophobia induced by exposure to a neophilic model does not generalize to non-modeled foods.

Self-reported motion sickness history in 308 adults was correlated with scores on the Arnett Inventory of Sensation Seeking and the Food Neophobia Scale, and it was expected that food neophobia would be more frequent in individuals low on sensation seeking tendencies.
