What are the implications of "framing" on our judgments and on our attempts to influence others?

Answer 1

Are you asking about "framing" in the sense that Decision Making Psychologists are? if so, the evidence shows that depending on how a question is asked, and how the answers (options are framed) people can be influenced to pick one outcome over another. For example, most people presented with the following two options:
a. 10% of recovery
b. 90% of death

the majority of people would pick option (a), even though, rationality would tell us that both outcomes are completely identical. there are many other examples, for example, the status quo bias, that is when presented with two identical candidates or options, the status quo option will almost always pervail.

Answer 2

What a wonderful question!! So pertinent too. I live in a town where a young man has been tried in the court of public opinion and rumors.
The facts of the case mean nothing and even the law enforcement has changed some facts to fit....framed.
It matters because when people are in this poor guy's situation, he cannot depend on those in power "following the rules." Sad
The Constitutional Rights of Each Individual are cut each time this happens...sad.

Answer 3

being wrong, and blasphemous
