项目摘要

Media often frame stories about public policies in a dramatic fashion. One popular form is the human-interest frame--a narrative of a situated actor. How these frames influence one's comprehension of public policies is explored through a series of experimental designs. The use of a set of novel cpolicies chosen from state ballot initiatives allows influences to be isolated in the laboratory while preserving validity. Content analysis gauges the prominence of human-interest frames in print media and interviews with journalists explore the logic behind their use. The general hypotheses are that, as we focus on the person in the story -- a person who carries no political cue, ultimate understanding of the policy may be compromised. First, the person may distract our attention and, thus, lead to poor comprehension. Second, one's feelings about the person may shape opinon about the policy and, thus, lead to bias. The bases for these expectations lie in cognitive psychology and evolutionary theory. The findings are considered in terms of democratic theory -- specifically, liberal theories of representation. The project provides a critical comment on the current role of media in American politics and the advisability of using human-interest dramas to frame public policies.

媒体经常以戏剧性的方式框定有关公共政策的故事。一种流行的形式是人的兴趣框架--一种对情景演员的叙事。这些框架如何影响一个人对公共政策的理解是通过一系列实验设计来探索的。使用从州投票倡议中选择的一套新颖的政策，可以在实验室中隔离影响，同时保持有效性。内容分析衡量了人类利益框架在平面媒体中的突出程度，对记者的采访探索了它们使用背后的逻辑。一般的假设是，当我们关注故事中的人--一个没有政治线索的人--时，对政策的最终理解可能会受到损害。首先，这个人可能会分散我们的注意力，从而导致理解能力差。其次，一个人对这个人的感觉可能会形成对政策的看法，从而导致偏见。这些期望的基础在于认知心理学和进化论。这些发现是从民主理论的角度来考虑的，具体地说，就是自由主义的代表权理论。该项目对媒体目前在美国政治中的作用以及利用人类利益剧来制定公共政策的可取性进行了批判性评论。
