ABSTRACT
Prior research demonstrates an influence of culpability framing on news consumers' perceptions about, and willingness to provide support for, those managing illness. Framing research of this sort has typically focused on the effect of frames on a particular health context (e.g. cancer). It is necessary to examine how three health frames which are overwhelmingly represented in health news could be uniquely influencing perceptions about those managing illness in a number of disparate health contexts. Specifically, we explore the nature of health frame influence as it relates to news reports regarding alcoholism, morbid obesity, and cancer. These illnesses represent the three of the most prominent health concerns for Americans that also vary in terms of how they relate to four chief cues for stigma communication. Experimental findings reveal unique ways in which culpability framing influences social support dispositions for those managing illness, as a function of intergroup anxiety perceptions.
