Framing Effect

THE FRAMING EFFECT

Created by Mitchell Wade

 

The framing effect is the act of manipulating the way that information is given in order to alter the decision making and possible judgement of the information. The presentation or manipulation of information can occur in multiple ways. Images, words, the way a sentence is worded, or a general context around certain information can make it influential to how people perceive it. There are two different types of frames. We have positive frames and negative frames. A positive frame is one that creates a positive feeling within the subject, proactive behavior, and it is meant to promote an ability to take risks. Negative framing does just the opposite. It creates negative feelings within a person and is supposed to suppress the feeling of wanting to take a risk. Two factors, stress and the constraint of time, amplify the effect of either a positive frame or a negative frame. Framing can become extremely excessive and contradicting. This can create a state of mind called cognitive dissonance which makes the interpreter rely on his or her own past frames about a situation.The framing effect is widely used in politics, and within large corporations in order to pursued a person to lean towards one candidate or to buy a certain item.

 

EXAMPLES

Coca-Cola using the image as a framing effect. The choose to use a beautiful woman in order to appeal to the audience. This is a positive form of framing that invokes positive feelings.
