民意研究表明,公民的意见取决于精英的言论和人际对话。然而,我们仍然对这两种力量如何相互作用知之甚少。在这篇文章中,我们解决这个问题的实验研究人际对话如何影响(前)精英框架效应。我们发现,只包括共同的观点的对话没有影响精英框架,但对话,包括冲突的观点消除精英框架效应。我们还介绍了一个新的个人层面的主持人框架效应称为“需要评估”,我们表明,框架效应,在一般情况下,往往是短暂的现象。最后,我们澄清了精英何时可以和不可以使用框架来影响公众舆论,以及人际对话如何影响这一过程。
Public opinion research demonstrates that citizens' opinions depend on elite rhetoric and interpersonal conversations. Yet, we continue to have little idea about how these two forces interact with one another. In this article, we address this issue by experimentally examining how interpersonal conversations affect (prior) elite framing effects. We find that conversations that include only common perspectives have no effect on elite framing, but conversations that include conflicting perspectives eliminate elite framing effects. We also introduce a new individual level moderator of framing effects-called "need to evaluate"-and we show that framing effects, in general, tend to be short-lived phenomena. In the end, we clarify when elites can and cannot use framing to influence public opinion and how interpersonal conversations affect this process.
