Special thanks to IsaΓ―a Jennart, @aleininger.bsky.social & @giorgiomalet.bsky.social for feedback, and to the Dutch Research Council for financial support.

βœ… Main takeaway: Media framing can sway perceptionsβ€”but mostly when outcomes are unclear and voters aren’t strongly partisan.

πŸ”Ž Findings II (observational study):
We find conditional effects.
➑️ Media framing mattered mainly for ambivalent voters.
➑️ Strong partisans were largely unaffected.

πŸ”Ž Findings I (experiment):
We find unconditional framing effects.
➑️ Positive frames make voters more likely to see a party as a winner.
➑️ Negative frames make voters more likely to see it as a loser.

In this paper, we ask: does media framing of election results shape voters’ perceptions of winners & losers?
We test this with:
1️⃣ A survey experiment (fictional election)
2️⃣ An observational study of the 2021 German Federal Election

Who β€œwon” an election isn’t always obvious. Results can be read differently: a party may do better than last time but worse than expected from pre-election polls.
New publication with @kgattermann.bsky.social :
β€œDoes media framing of election results affect whether voters perceive parties as election winners or losers?”
