Strategic frame analysis relies on a series of methods adapted from traditional opinion research, media studies and cultural and cognitive fieldwork including survey research, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, media content analysis, metaphor analysis, and media effects tests. This paper applies the basic principles of strategic frame analysis to discern what Americans think about youth (especially teenagers), why they think what they do, what consequences this has for youth policy and policy advocates, and how policy advocates might best engage Americans in a discussion about positive youth development.</p> https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5sk7r6gk Wed, 25 Jun 2003 00:00:00 +0000 Gilliam, Franklin D., Jr. Bales, Susan Nall https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5mm8q8f7 <p>Recently we set out to examine in a novel way the connections between what people see in local newscasts and what they think about juvenile crime. We designed an experiment to assess the impact of the "superpredator news frame" in which the only difference between what groups of viewers saw in a news story involved the race of the alleged youth perpetrator.</p> https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5mm8q8f7 Wed, 25 Jun 2003 00:00:00 +0000 Gilliam, Franklin D., Jr. Iyengar, Shanto
