Abstract
Americans must constantly navigate a news environment in which political elites seek to influence their opinion on a whole host of issues. One prominent strategy used by elites is the use of “frames” in messages, which selectively highlight relevant considerations in order to persuade individuals. There is a large body of work demonstrating the prevalence of framing effects. But much of this work has focused on monolingual speakers of English. In the research reported here, we examine the extent to which (1) Spanish-English bilinguals, who are non-native speakers of English, are susceptible to framing and (2) whether acculturation, or the degree to which a person is immersed into a new culture, moderates framing effects. We find that individuals who are high on acculturation are more likely to demonstrate framing effects. Our findings have implications for understanding how frames influence non-native English speakers in the US.
