Narrative Framing Effects explores how stories shape our views on war and peace, focusing on the power of narrative framing to influence public opinion. It examines how linguistic choices and psychological appeals are strategically used in political narratives, particularly during conflict. The book dissects the mechanics of narrative construction, revealing how techniques like agenda-setting and emotional appeals impact beliefs. For example, the crafting of narratives around conflicts, such as the Vietnam War versus post-9/11 operations, significantly shapes public approval and perceptions of legitimacy.
The book investigates the psychological processes that make individuals susceptible to framing effects, such as cognitive biases and pre-existing beliefs. It draws from linguistic analysis, psychology, and political science, using examples from wartime propaganda and peace initiatives to illustrate narrative impact. Chapters progress from introducing core concepts to analyzing narrative dissemination by governments and media, culminating in an examination of peace-building narratives. The book’s analytical approach offers readers tools to critically evaluate narratives and understand their role in shaping attitudes toward war and peace.
