Framing Effects

7.6K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

545
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

24
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

Routes of Persuasion

66.5K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

9.8K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

Summary

Positive messages improved adherence to brain health games, especially when participants chose their own schedule. Self-efficacy and memory showed limited predictive power for adherence in this cognitive intervention study.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Adherence to technology-based cognitive interventions is crucial for effectiveness.
  • Understanding factors influencing adherence can optimize intervention design.
  • Individual differences may impact engagement with cognitive training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate methods for enhancing adherence to a tablet-based cognitive intervention.
  • To identify individual difference variables that predict adherence.
  • To compare the impact of positive versus negative framing of health messages on adherence.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 120 participants engaged in gamified neuropsychological tests via tablet.
  • The study involved two phases: a prescribed schedule (Phase 1) and self-directed play (Phase 2).
  • Participants received positive or negative framed messages about brain health; cognitive abilities, self-efficacy, and technology attitudes were measured.

Main Results:

  • Positive-framed messages significantly increased adherence compared to negative-framed messages, but only during Phase 2 (self-directed play).
  • The positive framing effect on adherence was absent when social pressure was present.
  • Memory and self-efficacy showed limited predictive capacity for individual adherence differences.

Conclusions:

  • Message framing (positive vs. negative) can influence adherence to cognitive interventions.
  • Participant autonomy (self-directed play) may enhance the effectiveness of positive messaging.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand predictors of adherence in technology-based cognitive training.
