Repetition, repetition, repetition... One of the strongest predictors of what people believe is how many times they’ve heard it, so consistent framing is crucial to moving toward large-scale social change. #OnFrameFridays

About us
The FrameWorks Institute's mission is to advance the nonprofit sector's communications capacity by conducting and translating empirical research on framing the public discourse about a variety of social problems – from health equity to criminal justice to early childhood development to climate change. Our approach is unique in that we focus on both research and application. Our research team studies public thinking on different social issues and conducts original empirical research on frame effects. Our strategy team translates those research findings and turns them into engaging learning experiences and compelling communications products so partners can build their framing capacity and immediately apply our recommendations to their own work. We are committed to collaboratively shifting the way we collectively make sense of and communicate about different social issues in our society. We aim to support advocates' efforts to advance culture and social change through policy change.

When it comes to early childhood development, we know that what surrounds us shapes us. Children’s health and development are influenced by everything they experience in the places where they live, learn, grow, and play. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new project dedicated to designing effective strategies for communicating about the ways that climate change is impacting early childhood development. Along with our partners at the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University and Harvard C-CHANGE, we’re leveraging the expertise of our multidisciplinary advisory board to develop strategies that will expand understanding about this intersection and build demand for policies and interventions that can make a difference. Learn more about the project and meet the members of the advisory board HERE: https://lnkd.in/etehsBET

As communicators, it can be challenging to effectively counteract the disrespect and demonization of some social groups, especially during an election season. Existing narratives are often heightened, exacerbating harmful thinking that promotes prejudice, like ageism or anti-immigrant bias. But we know that framing can help us tell more humanizing stories. Check out episode 3 of our new video series, “Election Year Framing” to learn more:

In a world in which fatalism runs rampant, it's important that we frame with solutions, but doing so can be tricky. The four C's can help: 1) Credible 2) Causal 3) Conceivable 4) Contextual When the solutions we're talking about have these features in common, we can help our audiences recognize the possibility of change. #OnFrameFridays

Are people really more likely to believe what they hear repeated as opposed to what’s true? Although repetition matters, the answer is a bit more complicated than that. Check out episode 2 of our new video series, “Election Year Framing” to learn more:

Don’t just name…Explain. When we don't explain the structural factors that shape policy and practice, people often fall back on their existing biases to fill the gaps. By making the causes and consequences of the problem clear, we can bolster understanding and build support for change. #OnFrameFridays
