Framing effect

Curated Category: interpretation

The same facts are presented in a wording frame that steers interpretation.

The proposition remains similar, but lexical choices, emphasis, and structure guide readers toward a preferred interpretation. Frame shifts can change perceived risk, blame, or legitimacy without changing raw events.

Detection signals

  • Contrastive wording around the same event ("reform" vs "restriction").
  • Strong evaluative labels around neutral facts.
  • Asymmetric emphasis on costs or benefits.

Caution notes

  • Framing is common in journalism; detect only when steering is substantive.
  • Different framing does not automatically mean intentional manipulation.
