【摘要】 知识精英构建的"框架"(framing)会影响普通公众对某一政治或舆论话题的态度吗?文章以赞成协商民主还是赞成选举民主作为被测试的政治议题,将975名中国大学生分为4组进行测试,发现精英话语对大学生群体的政治态度存在影响,观点相异的精英话语会使大学生在该议题上的态度发生偏移。但是,并不是所有精英话语对大学生政治态度的影响程度都相同。研究还显示,当被试处于一个竞争性框架的情境下,精英话语的影响力则会被削弱。根据这一实验结果,研究认为,在一个存在不同观念和主张的竞争性舆论环境中,某一单一的精英话语不足以"误导"大学生走向"歧途"。更多还原

【Abstract】 Does elite framing affect mass opinion on social or political issues? In this article,we test whether elite discourse affects Chinese college student political attitudes. In a framing experiment,975 Chinese college students divided into four groups were asked if they supported deliberative democracy or electoral democracy,a heatedly debated issue in China during the past two years.Our results indicate that elite discourse does have an effect on the respondent attitudes toward democracy,but the framing effects are not the same.Furthermore,when the respondents were exposed to competing frames,the framing effects were weaker.Based on these results,we conclude that in a public sphere where diverse views are disputed,debated,and compete with each other,no single elite frame is able to mislead college students in China.更多还原
