Version of Record

One of the authors, S.Uchiyama, who is conducting bug-eating meetings for several years, has a naive question about the psychological factors why the participants in his meetings are interested in bug-eating. In Section 1, Uchiyama points out the importance of bug-eating and of its popularization. He explains that insects are rich in nutrition and many are even more nutritionally balanced than meat or fish. In Section 2, the first author, Yoshimura, introduces a psychological study to catch the difference of the attitudes and the senses to the bug-eating between the participants in Uchiyama’s meetings and the general public who have not yet participated in the meetings. Among the conceivable methods, a principal component analysis is used in the present research. Different from the general public, the attitudes and the senses of the participants can not be put into one major component. Yoshimura discusses that the participants in the meetings have multi-phasic attitudes and senses to the bug-eating.
