Cognitive Biases and the Strength of Political Arguments (2012, methodology): “12 was randomized, following Druckman and Nelson’s (2003) protocol.”
News Framing and Public Opinion (2012, background): “Also, frames used in empirical studies are usually characterized by a specific valence.(16) This valence alludes to one of the most fundamental characteristics of political discourse, namely that elites attempt to affect support for or rejection of an issue by emphasizing the positive or negative as”
How Gullible are We? A Review of the Evidence from Psychology and Social Science (2017, background): “1016/S0022-5371(80)90379-5 Druckman, J. N. (2004). Political preference formation: Competition, deliberation, and the (ir) relevance of framing effects.”
Emotion and the Framing of Risky Choice (2008, background): “…(i.e., it equals 1 if the participant’s preference agreed with the frame and 0 if not).21 We expect that possibly being affected by the frame will generate overconfidence since it mitigates conflict (see Tetlock 1986; Druckman 2004; also see Kuklinski et al. 2000; Payne et al. 1993, p. 209).”
Getting real: the duration of framing effects (2011, background): “Accordingly, existing framing experiments may even have exaggerated the influence of media frames on opinion formation—by focusing too much on the establishment of causality rather than including framing into a dynamic model of political communication flows (see also Druckman, 2004).”
Estimating the Effect of Elite Communications on Public Opinion Using Instrumental Variables (2007, neutral): “Druckman (2004) shows that experimental results about elite effects on public opinion are highly sensitive to the specification of the character of elite competition and voter deliberation.”
Taking ideas and discourse seriously: explaining change through discursive institutionalism as the fourth ‘new institutionalism’ (2010, background): “…equivalent phrases cause individuals to alter their preferences ‘irrationally’, for example, when people reject a policy program when told its negative effects (it leads to 5% unemployment) and accept it when told its positive effects (it leads to 95% employment) (Kahneman, 2000; Druckman, 2004).”
Making Sense of Issues Through Media Frames: Understanding the Kosovo Crisis (2006, background): “…demonstrate that opinion depends in a systematic and intelligible way on how issues are framed (e.g., Bobo and Kluegel 1993; Chong 1993, 2000; Druckman 2001, 2004; Gilens 1999; Haider-Markel and Joslyn 2001; Kinder and Nelson 2005; Kinder and Sanders 1990, 1996; Koch 1998; Mendelberg 1997;…”
More Than Weighting Cognitive Importance: A Dual‐Process Model of Issue Framing Effects (2008, neutral): “3 Also, framing effects can be moderated by such contextual factors as source (Druckman, 2001b), competing frames (Chong & Druckman, 2007b; Druckman, 2004; Sniderman & Theriault, 2004), deliberation (Druckman & Nelson, 2003), and individual-level “need to evaluate” (Druckman & Nelson, 2003) or “need”
When Race Matters and When It Doesn't: Racial Group Differences in Response to Racial Cues (2007, background): “Similar to Druckman (2004), I deﬁne issue frames as messages that emphasize “a subset of potentially relevant considerations [which] leads individuals to focus on these considerations when constructing their opinions” (672).”
Dealing with feelings: Positive and negative discrete emotions as mediators of news framing effects (2012, background): “Additionally, it is important to note that news frames used in empirical framing studies are often characterized by a specific valence (see e.g., Chong and Druckman, 2007b; Druckman, 2004; Lecheler and de Vreese, 2011; Nelson, Oxley, and Clawson, 1997).”
The Unmet Potential of Interdisciplinary Research: Political Psychological Approaches to Voting and Public Opinion (2009, background): “The competitive nature of a situation also matters, with greater competition increasing elaboration (e.g., Martin 1986; Kuklinski et al. 2001; Druckman 2004).”
