Summary:
This paper reports on an experiment that uses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a natural laboratory for studying how recipients make sense of escalation vs. de-escalation oriented news articles. The results of the study indicate that media frames and individual frames have both a direct effect and complex interaction effects on participants' text understanding. Particularly the effect of media war frames diminishes if they are incongruent with participants' individual frames, and the propaganda function of reports about violence and human casualties can be neutralized if framed according to a peace frame. If participants had a priori positioned themselves in favor of the perpetrator, they may produce reactance, however.
Summary in another language:
Der vorliegende Aufsatz berichtet über ein Experiment, das den israelisch-palästinensischen Konflikt als natürliches Laboratorium für die Untersuchung verwendet, wie eskalations- und deeskalationsorientierte Zeitungsnachrichten von den Rezipienten verstanden werden. Die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigen, dass Medienframes und individuelle Frames sowohl direkte Effekte als auch komplexe Interaktionseffekte auf das Textverständnis zeitigen. Insbesondere verschwindet der Effekt von Medien-War-Frames, wenn diese mit den individuellen Frames der Probanden unvereinbar sind, und die Propagandafunktion von Berichten über Gewalt und menschliche Opfer kann neutralisiert werden, wenn sie in einem Peace-Frame dargestellt werden. Wenn sich die Probanden bereits a priori zugunsten der Täterseite positioniert hatten, können sie jedoch Reaktanz erzeugen.
