TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Gender-based effects of frames on bullying outcomes JO - Journal of psychology, The A1 - Stark, Abigail M. A1 - Tousignant, Olivia A1 - Fireman, Gary D. SP - 555 EP - 574 VL - 153 IS - 5 N2 - The study extends research on the effect of frames. It is the first study to examine how framing affects the impact of being bullied. College students were randomly assigned to one of two groups: one framing bullying in terms of resilience and the other framing bullying with negative psychosocial consequences. Participants were asked to engage in a brief writing task aimed to actively create a frame and then completed both implicit and explicit measures. There was a significant main effect by gender and several significant interaction effects between frame and gender. These results suggest that framing impacts an individual's conceptualization of emotionally salient personal memories and should be considered when developing bullying interventions. The impact of framing bullying may vary by gender.
