Abstract

In line with the urgency of problems related to climate change, studies on the framing of this issue have flourished in recent years. However, as in framing research overall, a lack of definitions complicates the synthesis of theoretical/empirical insights. This systematic review contrasts trends of framing in climate change communication to those observed in reviews of communication research overall and harnesses framing’s power to bridge perspectives by comparing frames across different frame locations (i.e., frame production, frame content, audience frames, and framing effects), as part of the wider cultural framing repository. Combining quantitative and qualitative approaches of content analysis, this review draws on 25 years of peer-reviewed literature on the framing of climate change ( n = 275). Among the findings, we observe that research has not made use of framing’s bridging potential. Hence, the conceptual (mis)fit between frame locations will be discussed, and directions for future research will be given.

框架作为气候变化传播的桥梁概念:基于25年文献的系统回顾

与气候变化相关问题的紧迫性相一致，近年来对这一问题框架的研究蓬勃发展。然而，在整体框架研究中，缺乏定义使理论/实证见解的综合复杂化。本系统综述将气候变化传播中的框架趋势与整体传播研究综述中观察到的趋势进行了对比，并利用框架的力量，通过比较不同框架位置(即框架生产、框架内容、受众框架和框架效应)的框架，作为更广泛的文化框架库的一部分，来弥合观点。本综述结合了内容分析的定量和定性方法，借鉴了25年来关于气候变化框架的同行评议文献(n = 275)。在研究结果中，我们观察到研究没有利用框架的桥接潜力。因此，将讨论框架位置之间的概念(不)匹配，并给出未来研究的方向。

期刊介绍： Empirical research in communication began in the 20th century, and there are more researchers pursuing answers to communication questions today than at any other time. The editorial goal of Communication Research is to offer a special opportunity for reflection and change in the new millennium. To qualify for publication, research should, first, be explicitly tied to some form of communication; second, be theoretically driven with results that inform theory; third, use the most rigorous empirical methods; and fourth, be directly linked to the most important problems and issues facing humankind. Critieria do not privilege any particular context; indeed, we believe that the key problems facing humankind occur in close relationships, groups, organiations, and cultures.
