Framing, Agenda Setting, and Priming: The Evolution of Three Media Effects Models: Models of Media Effects

Scheufele, Dietram A., Tewksbury, David·2007·Journal of Communication

Abstract

This special issue of Journal of Communication is devoted to theoretical explanations of news framing, agenda setting, and priming effects. It examines if and how the three models are related and what potential relationships between them tell theorists and researchers about the effects of mass media. As an introduction to this effort, this essay provides a very brief review of the three effects and their roots in media-effects research. Based on this overview, we highlight a few key dimensions along which one can compare, framing, agenda setting, and priming. We conclude with a description of the contexts within which the three models operate, and the broader implications that these conceptual distinctions have for the growth of our discipline. Cadrage, programmes d’action et préparation: l’évolution de ces trois modèles d’effets des médias Dietram A. Scheufele University of Wisconsin-Madison et David Tewksbury University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Ce numéro spécial de Journal of Communication est consacréà l’explication théorique du cadrage, de la définition des programmes d’action (agenda setting) et des effets de la préparation (priming) en ce qui a trait aux actualités. Il examine si ces trois modèles sont liés et de quelle manière ils le sont, en plus de chercher à comprendre ce que leurs relations éventuelles peuvent signaler aux théoriciens et chercheurs à propos des effets des médias de masse. Cet article offre en introduction un bref survol des trois modèles et de leur origine au cœur de la recherche sur les effets médiatiques. À partir de ce survol, nous dégagerons quelques dimensions clés comme référence pour la comparaison des modèles de préparation, de cadrage et de définition des programmes d’action. Nous conclurons par une description des contextes à l’intérieur desquels opèrent les relations entre le cadrage, la définition des programmes d’action et la préparation, ainsi que par une discussion sur les implications générales de ces distinctions conceptuelles pour le développement de notre discipline. Framing, Agenda-Setting und Priming: Die Entwicklung von drei Medienwirkungsmodellen Dietram A. Scheufele University of Wisconsin-Madison and David Tewksbury University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Diese Sonderausgabe des Journal of Communication widmet sich der theoretischen Erklärung von Nachrichten-Framing, Agenda-Setting und Priming-Effekten. Dabei soll zum einen untersucht werden, ob und wie diese drei Modelle miteinander verwandt sind und zum anderen, welche möglichen Zusammenhänge einen Ausgangspunkt zur Erklärung von Medienwirkungen darstellen. Einführend dazu gibt dieser Artikel einen kurzen Überblick über die drei Modelle und ihre Wurzeln in der Medienwirkungsforschung. Auf Basis dieses Überblicks beleuchten wir einige wenige Kerndimensionen anhand derer man Priming, Framing und Agenda-Setting vergleichen kann. Wir schließen mit einer Beschreibung des kontextuellen Rahmens in dem die Beziehungen zwischen Framing, Agenda-Setting und Priming stattfinden sowie weiteren Implikationen, welche diese konzeptionellen Unterscheidungen für die Fortentwicklung unseres Faches haben. Los Efectos del Framing, de la Agenda-Setting, y del Priming: La Evolución de Tres Modelos de Efectos de los Medios Masivos Dietram A. Scheufele University of Wisconsin-Madison y David Tewksbury University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Esta edición especial del Journal of Communication está dedicada a las explicaciones teóricas del framing, la agenda-setting y los efectos del priming sobre las noticias. Examina si, y cómo, estos tres modelos están relacionados entre sí, y qué relaciones potenciales entre ellos informan a teóricos e investigadores sobre los efectos de los medios masivos. Como una introducción a este esfuerzo, este ensayo provee una reseña breve de estos tres efectos y sus raíces en la investigación de los efectos de los medios masivos. Basados en este panorama general, destacamos algunas dimensiones claves a través de las cuales se pueden comparar el priming, el framing, y la agenda-setting. Concluimos con una descripción de los contextos dentro de los cuales las relaciones entre el framing, el priming y la agenda-setting operan, y las implicaciones mayores que estas distinciones conceptuales tienen en el crecimiento de nuestra disciplina.

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.
