“…The nuclear debate is certainly a divisive issue in the UK and strong pre-existing attitudes have been shown to limit the power of persuasive appeals (e.g. Brewer, 2001;Zuwerink and Devine, 1996). Thus, while there was evidence that participants had registered the content of the 'climate' and 'security' frames, perhaps it is unsurprising that they stopped short of elevating participants' reliance on NP.…”

Three studies were conducted to assess whether key arguments used by government within this consultation might have influenced public opinion about the technology. Participants first read a passage of text which made salient certain positive (climate change mitigation, increased energy security) or negative (nuclear waste) aspects of the nuclear debate. Participants then completed a task that required them to create an electricity mix for the UK by varying the contributions made by each of five energy sources (coal, gas, nuclear, renewables and electric import). Study 1 seemed to indicate that pitching the debate in terms of climate change mitigation was effective in increasing endorsement of nuclear power.The results of studies 2 and 3, however, contested this conclusion suggesting that these arguments were having little direct impact upon participants' preferences for nuclear power. The results of these studies hold implications for UK energy policy and attitude assessment and can contribute to the understanding of how the arguments used by government in the 2007 consultation might have influenced public opinion.

“…Framing effects have been documented in diverse contexts such as attitudes towards unpopular social groups (Chong, 1993;Nelson et al, 1997;Nelson and Kinder, 1996;Schuman and Presser, 1981), welfare (Brewer, 2001), campaign finance reform (Druckman and Nelson, 2003), and moral issues (Feldman and Weber, 2008.). Indeed, issue framing is so ubiquitous that public opinion can often be gauged based upon the frames used by elites.…”

Who Said What? The Effects of Source Cues in Issue Frames

Drawing on previous research concerning the role that source cues play in political information processing, we examine whether an ideological identity match between the source of a framed message and the respondent moderates framing effects. We test our hypotheses in two experiments concerning attitudes toward a proposed rally by the Ku Klux Klan. In Experiment 1 (N = 274), we test our hypothesis in a simple issue framing experiment. We find that framing effects occur for strong identifiers only when there is a match between the ideology of the speaker and respondent. In Experiment 2 (N = 259), we examine whether matched frames resonate equally well when individuals are simultaneously exposed to competing frames. The results from this experiment provide mixed support for our hypotheses. The results from our studies suggest that identity matching is an important factor to consider in future framing research. WHO SAID WHAT? 3 Who Said What? The Effects of Source Cues in Issue FramesOver the past two decades, public opinion scholars have accumulated strong evidence of framing effects for a wide range of social and political issues (Gamson, 1992; Gamson and Mogdigliani, 1987;Iyengar, 1991;Iyengar and Kinder, 1987;Kinder and Sanders, 1996;Nelson and Kinder, 1996;Nelson, Clawson, and Oxley, 1997;Schuman and Presser, 1981). Consistent evidence has demonstrated that subtle differences in the presentation of information can influence how people form and change their political attitudes (for an excellent summary, see Druckman, 2004, as well as Chong and Druckman, 2007a). This research has led some scholars to revisit models of information processing and conclude that citizens do not possess concrete attitudes, per se; rather, they construct opinions based upon whatever information is accessible at the time (Zaller and Feldman, 1992). This "top-of-the-head" approach suggests that characteristics of the sender, receiver, and message interact to produce attitude formation and change (Zaller, 1992). In this paper, we extend this line of inquiry by considering the role of social influence in political communication.Specifically, we explore whether ideological identities of the message source and recipient affect susceptibility to issue frames. Theory and HypothesesScholars have traditionally defined framing as the process by which potentially relevant considerations are made available, which, in turn, influence how an individual thinks about an issue (Nelson et al., 1997). A framing effect occurs when the considerations highlighted in a frame move people to endorse or oppose a specific policy (Gamson, 1992). A frame is said to be effective when it shifts an opinion distribution in a particular direction. For example, individuals exposed to a freedom of speech frame are more likely to allow a disliked group to demonstrate in public, while those that received a public safety and order frame are quick to restrict the groups' first-amendment

“…Entretanto, o estudo não encontrou relação entre a velocidade de associação de palavras relativas aos frames testados e seu endosso. Na esteira desse estudo, entende-se que o issue frame, na verdade, atua aumentando a importância psicológica (ou relevância) de determinados aspectos de um problema, sendo este um processo mais consciente do que automático (Brewer, 2001;Slothuus, 2008).…”

Esta pesquisa investigou o efeito de configuração no endosso ao reconhecimento legal das uniões de pessoas do mesmo sexo em uma população universitária brasileira composta por pessoas com diferentes níveis de preconceito. Foram usados três diferentes configurações: homoafetivo, homossexual e pessoas do mesmo sexo. Oito mil e oitenta e dois estudantes universitários do sul do Brasil responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico, escala de preconceito contra diversidade sexual e de gênero e randomicamente deram sua opinião sobre o tópico em questão. Não foram encontradas diferenças no nível de endosso às configurações. No entanto, grupos historicamente associados a menor apoio à diversidade sexual e de gênero e pessoas com atitudes mais negativas em relação à diversidade sexual e de gênero endossaram menos essas uniões. Portanto, a maneira como a questão é enquadrada não influencia o endosso à reivindicação da união de pessoas do mesmo sexo.Palavras-chave: efeito de configuração; preconceito, homoafetividade; homossexualidade; casamento. Issue frame effect in the support of same-sex marriage among Brazilian undergraduates AbstractFraming effect refers to the impact that the presentation of a topic has on the opinions of individuals. The objective of this research was to evaluate the presence of the framing effect on the endorsement to legal recognition of same-sex unions in a Brazilian university population. It took into account three different frames: homosexual; homoaffective and same sex. Eight thousand and eighty-two college students from southern Brazil answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, a prejudice against sexual and gender diversity scale and randomly gave their opinion about homosexual; homoaffective; or, same sex marriage. There were no differences in the level of endorsement of the frames, however, groups historically associated with lower support to sexual and gender diversity, and those with more negative attitudes towards sexual and gender diversity endorsed least these unions. Therefore, the way the question is framed does not influence the endorsement to legal recognition of same-sex unions.Keywords: framing effect; prejudice; homoaffection; homosexuality; marriage.
