The Psychology of Framing: How Everyday Language Shapes the Way We Think, Feel, and Act Psychol. Sci. Public Interest (IF 18.2) Pub Date : 2024-12-20 Stephen J. Flusberg, Kevin J. Holmes, Paul H. Thibodeau, Robin L. Nabi, Teenie Matlock
When we use language to communicate, we must choose what to say, what not to say, and how to say it. That is, we must decide how to frame the message. These linguistic choices matter: Framing a discussion one way or another can influence how people think, feel, and act in many important domains, including politics, health, business, journalism, law, and even conversations with loved ones. The ubiquity
