Frame Disputes within the Nuclear Disarmament Movement
Abstract
Social movement organizations (SMOs) devote considerable effort to constructing particular versions of reality, developing and espousing alternative visions, andattempting to affect various audiences' interpretations. Conflicts regarding such interpretive matters, referred to as “frame disputes,” are ubiquitous within movements. Using a multimethod strategy, this study analyzes the dynamics of interorganizational frame disputes within the nuclear disarmament movement, including their organizational and ideological contexts, conditions conducive to their emergence, patterns observed, and their effects. Three generic types of disputes are identified and elaborated: diagnostic, prognostic, and frame resonance disputes. Of the 51 disputes observed, all but two involved SMOs from two or more different movement factions. More disputes occurred between the movement's most moderate and radical factions than between other factions. Intramural conflicts were both detrimental and facilitative of the disarmament movement and its SMOs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
