We find conditional effects.
➡️ Media framing mattered mainly for ambivalent voters.
➡️ Strong partisans were largely unaffected.
We find unconditional framing effects.
➡️ Positive frames make voters more likely to see a party as a winner.
➡️ Negative frames make voters more likely to see it as a loser.
We test this with:
1️⃣ A survey experiment (fictional election)
2️⃣ An observational study of the 2021 German Federal Election

I am begging you to stop requiring letters of recommendation for master's programmes. You and I both know you don't read them, so stop asking for them.
Instead, have applicants list a name and get in touch if it's a borderline case.
Signed,
Everyone.
