Abstract: Politicians’ reticence to communicate their views clearly increases the information asymmetry between them and the electorate. This study tested the potential of subtle ideological cues to redress the balance. By spotlighting visual rather than the already much-examined verbal cues, we sought to contribute to building theory on cue effects. Specifically, we aimed to determine whether the effects from the literature on verbal cues could also be shown for visual ones. We used an experiment ( N = 361) to… Show more

“…Third, this study suggests that our understanding of visual frames may be advanced when they are conceptualized as constructs articulated by cues with various degrees of explicitness (Dan & Arendt, 2021; Dan et al, 2020). Furthermore, we have confirmed an earlier intuition that “completely different pictures (e.g., one showing a man biking in full gear and one showing a woman addressing a crowd from a stage) can convey the same frame even though these visual characteristics do not occur together in one photo” (Dan, 2018, p. 133).…”

“…Symbols and objects, such as flags or coat of arms can refer to a variety of symbolical meanings and serve as subtle backdrop cues that can affect the recipient (Dan and Arendt, 2021). By recording a variety of symbols and objects, we aimed to shed a light on the populist-specific symbolism.…”

“…Ravelli and van Leeuwen (2018) point to the implications of online visualization strategies and their potential to "manufacture" factuality or history (documentaries), affect or romanticism (postcards, music videos, cartoons), authority (Prezi, Microsoft PowerPoint), or neoliberal practices of consumption (marketing catalogues, shopping websites). Meanwhile, social platform trending and arranged search engine returns may lead to naturalizing some ideology-laden representations at the expense of a variety of points of view (Dan & Arendt, 2021).…”
