▼ Steeds meer mensen raadplegen een Voting Advice Application (VAA), zoals Stemwijzer of KiesKompas, voordat ze hun politieke stem uitbrengen. Maar er is veel kritiek op VAAs, VAAs zouden gebruikers sturen waardoor ze gebruikers verkeerd adviseren. In deze scriptie is onderzocht of twee vormen van impliciete sturing,
valence framing en nieuwsframing, van invloed zijn op de antwoorden en/of attitudes van gebruikers van VAAs. Met
valence framing is onderzocht of het voor de antwoorden van respondenten uitmaakt of een stelling positief of negatief geformuleerd is. Met nieuwsframing is onderzocht of het uitmaakt onder welk politiek thema een stelling staat. Beantwoorden gebruikers eenzelfde stelling anders als die onder het thema ‘milieu’ staat dan dat die onder het thema ‘veiligheid’ staat? Tot slot is onderzocht of attitudesterkte een verklaring is voor de variaties die zich voordoen in de antwoorden van respondenten bij nieuwsframing of
valence framing en of de stemintentie van respondenten wordt beïnvloed door
valence framing en/of nieuwsframing.
Het KiesKompas voor de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen in 2010 is onderzocht met als doel erachter te komen wat de invloed is van
valence framing en nieuwsframing. Eerst is op alle dertig stellingen van het KiesKompas een bureau-analyse uitgevoerd naar de duidelijkheid van de stellingen, hoe stellingen zowel positief als negatief geframed kunnen worden, onder welke thema’s stellingen kunnen staan en of de stellingen actueel zijn. Hierbij zijn niet actuele stellingen vervangen door actuele stellingen. Met de resultaten uit de bureau-analyse zijn vier versies van het KiesKompas opgesteld. Eén versie waarin de stellingen hetzelfde zijn als in het originele KiesKompas, één versie waarin nieuwsframing is gemanipuleerd (de stelling is onder een thema geplaatst waar deze volgens de bureau-analyse ook onder kan staan), één versie waarin
valence framing is gemanipuleerd (stellingen die in het originele KiesKompas positief zijn geframed worden negatief geframed en andersom) en één versie waarin zowel nieuwsframing als
valence framing zijn gemanipuleerd.
Honderdvierendertig respondenten hebben één van de vier versies van het KiesKompas ingevuld, twee keer dezelfde vragenlijst om hun attitude te meten en een vragenlijst om hun attitudesterkte te meten. Uit de resultaten blijkt dat nieuwsframing en
valence framing nauwelijks van invloed zijn op de antwoorden en attitudes van respondenten. Ondanks het geringe effect is
valence framing meer van invloed op de antwoorden van respondenten dan de attitudes. Daarnaast zijn respondenten met een zwakke attitude minder beïnvloed door zowel
valence framing als nieuwsframing dan respondenten met een sterke attitude en wordt de stemintentie van respondenten niet beïnvloed door
valence framing en/of nieuwsframing. Tot slot is getoetst of de stellingen van KiesKompas goed onderscheid maken tussen progressieve en niet progressieve, rechtse en niet rechtse, linkse en niet linkse en conservatieve en niet conservatieve respondenten, dat blijkt niet het geval te…

▼ Online behavioral advertising (OBA) has drawn great attention of regulatory agencies. In the Federal Trade Commission’s most recent OBA guidelines, advertising companies are required to provide educational information to consumers, and inform consumers of their option to opt out. However, there has been no systematic investigation of the effects of OBA educational messages on consumer responses to OBA. This study examined the effects of positive-negative valence framing in OBA educational messages on consumers’ attitude toward OBA, and intention to opt out of OBA. In addition, the study looked into the moderating role of the fit between the regulatory focus of consumers and the regulatory focus of the educational message in valence framing effects. A 2 (valence framing: positive vs. negative) × 2 (regulatory focus framing: promotion vs. prevention) × 2 (individuals’ regulatory focus: promotion vs. prevention) between-subject online experiment was conducted. The results demonstrated that a positively-framed OBA educational message led to more positive cognitive attitude toward OBA, and less intention to opt out, compared to a negatively-framed message. Furthermore, regulatory fit had a marginal moderating effect on the relationship between valence framing and consumers’ intention to opt out. Theoretical and practical implications as well as directions for future research are presented.

▼ Online reviews are gaining importance in determining consumers’ purchase decisions since many consumers trust them as much as personal word-of-mouth. One aspect of reviews that has received great research attention is
valence.
Valence refers to consumers’ positive or negative evaluations of products. It can be reflected by star ratings or dichotomous choices such as recommendation rates and thumbs up or down rates. The effects of
valence reported in previous studies have been equivocal at best. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation is to identify factors that help reconcile these inconclusive findings.
The first essay examined emotional arousal (e.g., sad versus angry) as a moderator of the relationship between
valence and consumer decisions. Through two lab experiments and one field study utilizing the browsing and purchasing data from a major online retailer, I find that the effect of emotional arousal can be different along the consumer purchase journey. During the search stage, consumers use emotional arousal as a heuristic to make their choices. Extreme reviews (e.g., five-star or one-star rating) with high emotional arousal indicate reviewers’ bias and lack of self- control and are deemed less informative about product performance. Therefore, emotional arousal weakens the effect of
valence on consumers’ consideration choices. However, when consumers are at the purchase stage, a more complex cognitive process emerges. Even though they believe that extremely negative reviews with high emotional arousal are uninformative, their anticipated regret leads them to reject products associated with those reviews.
The second essay suggests that how consumers process
valence and volume (i.e., the total number of a product’s reviews) depends on the
framing of the numeric information, which subsequently determines the importance of
valence in relation to that of volume in consumers’ purchase decisions. Specifically, consumers will utilize different approaches to processing
valence and volume information when
valence is framed as a percentage of volume (60% of 500 customers recommend) versus when it is represented as an absolute number (e.g., 300 out of 500 customers recommend). Through five lab experiments (including an eye-tracking study), I find that due to the fundamental differences between these approaches, consumers are likely to tradeoff
valence for high volume if the
valence information is expressed as percentages. However, the dominant effect of review volume diminishes if the absolute number format is applied. The effect of numerical
framing thus helps newly introduced high-quality products overcome their disadvantage due to low review volume.

▼ Dans nos sociétés modernes, la santé et le bien-être des individus occupent une place de plus en plus grande, ce qui a conduit les chercheurs en marketing à s'intéresser aux problématiques liées à la promotion de la santé (Block et Keller, 1995; Cox et Cox, 2001; Keller et alii, 2003; Zhao et Pechman, 2007). Sur la base des recherches qui étudient les stratégies de communication susceptibles de provoquer le changement comportemental, ce travail doctoral cherche à répondre à la problématique suivante : comment améliorer l'efficacité des communications de santé ? Par le biais de deux expérimentations menées aux Etats-Unis entre 2009 et 2010, cette recherche étudie l'effet de deux caractéristiques du message, à savoir, le cadrage des conséquences du message (gains versus pertes) et l'objectif annoncé de la communication (prévention versus dépistage). Les résultats soulignent notamment qu'un cadrage de gains provoque une attitude plus favorable envers la recommandation, une intention plus élevée de la suivre ainsi que des intentions d'échanges et de recherche d'information plus élevées, ce qui est d'autant plus vrai lorsque l'objectif annoncé est celui du dépistage. Cette recherche apporte également une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes impliqués en montrant qu'un message de pertes provoque une imagerie mentale de valence plus négative et que la valence des images mentales est médiatrice de l'effet du cadrage. Ce travail doctoral donne lieu à des contributions théoriques, qui permettent d'éclairer la littérature sur les communications de santé, ainsi qu'à des contributions managériales, qui apportent des enseignements aux décideurs des communications de santé.
In our modern societies, individuals' health and well-being is a major concern which elicits marketing academics' interest to health promotion research questions (Block and Keller, 1995; Cox and Cox, 2001; Keller et alii, 2003; Zhao and Pechman, 2007). Based on research studying communication's strategies that could induce behavioral change, this doctoral work aims at answering the following research question: how to improve health communications effectiveness? Using two experiments conducted during 2009 and 2010 in the United-States, this research studies two message's characteristics, the message frame (gains versus losses) and the communication's promoted objective (prevention versus detection). Results highlight that a gain-framed message produces a more favorable attitude toward the recommendation, a higher intention to follow it and higher intentions to converse and to look for information, results that are even truer when communication's objective is detection. This research brings a better comprehension of depth processes involved, showing that a loss-framed message induces a valence of mental imagery which is more negative than a gain-framed message and that the valence of mental imagery mediates the effect of message framing. This doctoral work brings theoretical contributions, which add to health communications literature as well as managerial…

▼ Following the 2004 U.S. presidential election, articles from the Associated Press and major news organizations came to very different conclusions regarding the impact of young voters on the election outcome. While some media outlets framed the youth turnout as a success, others framed it as a failure. This experimental study (N=237) utilized a pre-test/post-test design to build upon research on
framing theory and political information efficacy theory. Articles about youth voter turnout in the 2004 election served as the stimuli to test the effects of news frame
valence and frame substance on college student respondents' levels of trust, cynicism, and political information efficacy. Results indicated that while
valence and level of substance of a news article may affect political attitudes, changes between experimental groups were not significant. Cynicism was negatively correlated with political information efficacy and trust. Attitudinal measures accounted for a significant amount of variance in respondents' interest in the 2006 campaign as well as perceived importance of both political engagement and youth voter turnout in past and future campaigns.

▼ Existing research investigating human judgment and decision making describes patterns of systematic biases in the way people process information and make decisions. Framing effects, for example, demonstrate that logically equivalent alternatives presented in divergent linguistic frames can lead to systematically different choice outcomes; in general, people demonstrate a preference for risk-averse behaviour when information is framed positively and risk-seeking behaviour when information is framed negatively. Similarly, the status quo bias describes a tendency for decision makers to maintain current or previous decisions when confronted with the availability of new options, demonstrating that people possess a predisposition to continue with established behaviour. This research proposes that the goals a decision maker adopts and the hedonic tone of the stimulus being evaluated influence whether framing effects are observed; similarly, the past performance of the status quo and complexity of available options influence whether participants exhibit a preference for the status quo. Using a survey-based experimental methodology, the aforementioned propositions are investigated by systematically manipulating characteristics of decision problems in order to reveal the mechanisms which influence the emergence of framing effects and the status quo bias. The results demonstrate that when positive goals or stimuli are emphasized, usual framing effects are observed; that is, participants demonstrate a preference for risk-averse behaviour in the positive frame and risk-seeking behaviour in the negative frame. Conversely, when negative goals or stimuli are emphasized, participants fail to demonstrate the expected shift in risk-preference. Past performance and complexity of the available alternatives are also shown to influence preference for the status quo; specifically, participants demonstrate greater preference for the status quo when past performance is strong compared to when it is weak, and when the number of available options is low compared to when it is high. The findings of this research improve our understanding of how contextual factors influence shifts in preference and the emergence of decision making biases; moreover, the current research demonstrates the need for future research to consider the influence of situational and contextual factors when investigating decision making in particular and human behaviour in general.

▼ This dissertation examines media coverage of two social protests set more than three decades apart – “The March on the Pentagon” in October 1967, part of the anti-Vietnam war movement and “The Battle for Seattle” in November-December 1999, part of the movement for democratic globalization. Through two separate studies – a content analysis of print media coverage and qualitative in-depth interviews with journalists – this dissertation looks for patterns of sourcing and framing between the coverage of these two protests. It also examines any possible influence on these patterns caused by journalists’ access to diverse sources and research through the Internet. This examination is prompted by the current celebration as well as debate over the capacity of the Internet, as a tool of political organization, to empower social movement protests, boost political participation, enhance media coverage and develop the public sphere. This research uses the lenses of sourcing and framing to examine journalists’ reliance on official and authoritative sources in government and trade, the circumstances under which they cite sources of dissent, their preferences and practices in their use of the Internet, their use of the episodic versus thematic frame and the valence in their stories. The dissertation found that journalists who covered the anti-globalization protests used more official and authoritative sources in government and trade than did their predecessors who covered the anti-Vietnam war protests 30 years ago. No significant difference was found, however, in journalists’ sourcing from among protesters or the frames and valence in the coverage of both protests. Moreover, the coverage did not show any discernible impact of the Internet in either increasing the diversity of journalists’ sources or causing a shift from episodic to thematic frames; journalists exhibited skepticism over protest Web sites and showed a preference for official and authoritative sources even over the Internet. This dissertation, therefore, points to the endurance of age-old news values and norms despite journalists’ enhanced access through new tools and technologies. It also calls for a continued examination of the Internet’s ability to cause any shift in social movement-media relations, given the impact of these relations on participation and public opinion.

▼ A content analysis and post hoc content analysis of 362 news articles in national newspapers, regional newspapers, and Internet news Web sites investigated the prevalence of issue-specific and generic frames, frame
valence, and the personalization of media coverage of the steroid scandal in Major League Baseball. Research guided by
framing theory found 2,353 frames present in the initial analysis and 2,834 frames present after the post hoc analysis. Generic frames were more prevalent than issue-specific frames in coverage in initial analysis. The post hoc analysis, however, indicates that issue-specific frames were more prevalent than generic frames in terms of times present. Frames are valenced negatively more frequently than neutrally or positively in coverage. Media coverage was focused on the individuals more often than on the organization, however, both the individuals and organization were treated similarly in terms of
valence of frames. The findings of the analyses supported scholarship calling for more analysis of generic and issue-specific frames, the presence of
valence in frames, and the personalization of media coverage in the political communication context that in this case is present in the sports media context as well. Findings merit further scholarship on broader source comparison in coverage of this scandal, agenda-setting in various forms, and further frame analysis in the sports media contexts and other contexts outside of the political communication context as well.
Advisors/Committee Members: Williams, Andrew Paul (committeechair), Ivory, James Dee (committee member), Tedesco, John C. (committee member).
