We investigate how different framing of climate change impacts affects public opinion on the issue. Using an experimental design, we examine the influence of frames presenting local versus global climate impacts and frames discussing projected losses versus those also discussing possible benefits of climate change, on individual perceptions of the severity of climate change, behavioral intentions to address climate change, and attitudes toward climate change policies. The results indicate that our impact frames influence public opinion, although the effects sometimes differ based on individuals’ partisan predispositions. Specifically, our study shows that local frames increase perceptions of the severity of the problem and support for local (sub-national) policy action for all subjects, as well as behavioral intentions for subjects who are Independents or Republicans. Presenting subjects with information on the potential benefits and losses of climate change weakens perceptions of problem severity for all subjects at the local and national level, decreases support for local policy action among Democrats, and has no effect on behavioral intentions. Overall, these results are consistent with policy research suggesting that perceptions of local vulnerability are an important factor in the adoption of sub-national climate change policies. The findings also imply that the effectiveness of particular climate change impact frames will vary from one state to another depending on a state's partisan leanings.
Grounded in literature on attribution theory, framing, and information sharing, this study addresses the process and behavioral consequences of celebrity advocacy for climate change mitigation on ...social media. An experimental design (N = 693) examined how parasocial relationship (PSR) with celebrities was related to information virality of celebrity climate change messages on social media, as well as whether perceived motivations of celebrities' climate advocacy functioned as a mediator. The motivations examined were labeled affective (i.e., motivated by genuine environmental concern) and calculative (i.e., the ulterior motive of image promotion). In addition, the study explored how level of fear in message framing impacted information virality of celebrity climate messages. Social media users with higher PSR attributed higher levels of affective motivations for celebrities' advocacy, and stronger affective motivations were subsequently related to a greater likelihood of retweeting and replying to celebrities’ climate messages. Affective motivation attribution was a significant mediator in the relationship between PSR and message virality. Those with higher PSR attributed lower levels of calculative motivations for celebrity advocacy. However, perceived levels of calculative motivations were not related to likelihood of retweeting and replying behaviors. In addition, high fear messages were more effective than low fear messages in promoting the likelihood of retweeting and replying. These findings suggest that celebrity climate change tweets were more effective when the celebrities had a stronger bond with audiences and were seen as affective in their motivations, and when a higher level of fear was used to frame environmental topics.

This study examines how two major news outlets framed COVID-19 in the months leading up to COVID-19 being declared a pandemic. A combination of computational and manual coding found that the dominant ...media frames were outbreak, economic consequences, and social consequences. A secondary component of the analysis examined the sources quoted in early media coverage and found that citizens, interest group individuals, and politicians were quoted the most. This suggests that early news coverage of COVID-19 might have contributed to the current politicization of the virus in the United States.
This study examined whether age differences in risky decision making are dependent on known probability and value of outcomes (i.e., the expected value EV), the valence of anticipated outcomes (gains ...or losses), and individual differences in working memory and impulsivity. We used a task that varied risk independently from EV so that taking risks could be advantageous or disadvantageous. Results indicated differential developmental courses for the sensitivity to EV and outcome valence from early to late adolescence. An increase in risk-advantageous but a decrease in risk-disadvantageous behavior was obtained between early-to-mid and late adolescence. All adolescents showed higher risky behavior when losses rather than gains were expected. Age differences in the sensitivity to EV were fully mediated by individual differences in working memory but not by self-reported impulsivity, suggesting that decision making under known risk is strongly limited by the maturation of cognitive control processes.
En este artículo se propone el modelo del framing simbólico y se aplica al análisis de la comunicación presidencial de López Obrador en las conferencias mañaneras. El modelo permite la investigación ...del discurso público, de distintos actores (candidatos, movimientos sociales, periodistas), en distintos escenarios (campañas electorales, medios, espacio público), y con diferentes textos (televisión, noticia, protesta). El procedimiento tendiente a decodificar los frames del discurso consiste en cinco pasos: primero se ubica el escenario; segundo, se identifican los actores involucrados; tercero, se localizan los textos del discurso de los actores involucrados; cuarto, a partir de los textos, se decodifican e interpretan los frames; quinto, una vez que se identifican los frames, se identifican los mecanismos simbólicos que permiten la visibilidad de los frames.
Consumers’ purchasing choices are highly sensitive to the way product message is presented. However, it is unclear how consumers’ sense of power interacts with the framed message to influence their ...decision to purchase. Based on the approach-inhibition theory of power, the present research investigates this question by manipulating power with different experimental paradigms across three studies (a role-imagination task in Study 1, a semantic priming task in Study 2, and a self-designed advertising post in Study 3). The results consistently revealed that the high-power consumers reported greater intention to purchase a product in response to a gain-framed message than a loss-framed message; conversely, the low-power consumers reported greater purchase intention in response to a loss-framed message than a gain-framed message. The present findings contribute to the literature on the individual differences in the message framing effect, and provide helpful insights for developing advertising strategies based on consumers’ power state.
In this paper, a high spatial resolution, high gating speed framing camera capable of four separate two-dimensional images is designed and tested. A mirror-based image splitter has been designed and ...developed to provide a separate image for each arm with equal path length and equal intensity splitting while having a spectral flat response. Fast gating of a single frame is accomplished by using a proximity-focused microchannle-plate image-intensifier (MCPII) gated by a MOSFET-based pulse module with adjustable gate width from 3 ns to D.C. operation. Multiple frames are obtained by using multiple gated tubes with time intervals between consecutive frames can be adjusted flexibly. Its spatial resolution reaches 36.5 lp/mm with each frame having a 4.6-ns gate width. Furthermore, a three-dimensional MCPII model is developed to investigate the transit time and spatial resolution of the proximity-focused MCPII based on the Finite Integral Technique (FIT) and Monte Carlo method (M-C method).
This study explores the external stimulus and internal psychological characteristics that influence green advertising's effectiveness while considering the interactive effect of message framing and ...environmental attitudes and the mediating role of process fluency. The results showed that if a consumer has a strong environmental attitude, gain-framed green advertising more significantly impacts their attitudes toward green advertising and products and their pro-environmental behavior intentions than loss-framed advertising. Conversely, if the consumer has a weak environmental attitude, loss-framed green advertising more significantly impacts their attitudes toward green advertising and products than gain-framed messaging but does not affect their pro-environmental behavior. Additionally, it was found that process fluency mediates the interactive effect of message framing and environmental attitudes on the effectiveness of green advertising.
The dynamics of handling COVID-19 in Indonesia is entering a new phase, namely vaccination. There is a phenomenon that is widely discussed in the community about the pros and cons of the ...effectiveness of the Sinovac and AstraZeneca vaccines. The media skillfully writes various news points of view related to government policies in terms of vaccination. In this case, the news delivered by kompas.com media on March 10, 2021 and cnbcindonesia.com on March 9, 2021 about the efficacy of vaccination is interesting to study. The two media frame the Vaccine news differently, The objective of this study is to compare the news content of the two media. This study applies a qualitative approach and Robert Etmant's framing analysis model. According to the results of research on news at kompas.com, the elaboration of the explanation about the AstraZeneca vaccine is so complete and detailed, but it is in contrast to the explanation elaborated on the Sinovac vaccine. On the other hand, in the news on cnbcindonesia.com, the elaboration on the use of technology is described in a balanced way. It was concluded that kompas.com wrote a balanced report on the information process while cnbcindonesia.com wrote it in a balanced way in the information process.
