Based on nearly 400 papers retrieved from Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) database, we systematically review worldwide research on social and psychological factors leading to the public resistance to genetically modified (GM) crops and foods. This paper points out that during the process to communicate GM crops to the public, scientists neglect the public concerns and there is a gap between scientific communication and public and media communication. Knowledge has played a limited role in forming the public attitude to GM foods, and public has a low trust in public institutions. All these factors lead to the public rejection to GM crops and foods. Based on the systematic review, this paper suggests possible research routes and approaches for Chinese science communication researchers to understand and solve GMO and similar scientific controversies.
