公众舆论往往取决于精英们选择使用的框架。例如，公民对三K党集会的看法可能取决于精英们将其视为言论自由问题还是公共安全问题。一个重要的担忧是，精英们在利用框架来影响和操纵公民意见方面几乎没有受到限制。事实上，几乎没有研究过框架效应的极限。在本文中，我将通过关注一个特定的约束来探讨这些限制--框架来源的可信度。我提出了两个实验室实验，表明精英在使用框架来影响和操纵公众舆论方面面临着明确而系统的限制。
Public opinion often depends on which frames elites choose to use. For example, citizens' opinions about a Ku Klux Klan rally may depend on whether elites frame it as a free speech issue or a public safety issue. An important concern is that elites face few constraints to using frames to influence and manipulate citizens' opinions. Indeed, virtually no work has investigated the limits of framing effects. In this article, I explore these limits by focusing on one particular constraint-the credibility of the frame's source. I present two laboratory experiments that suggest that elites face a clear and systematic constraint to using frames to influence and manipulate public opinion.
