Story to Change Culture on Early Childhood in Australia
The goal of the article is to support the early childhood sector's efforts to increase the salience of early childhood as a social issue and change policy and practice to better support young children and their families. Cultural models shape how people think about social issues and support solutions. Changing how issues are framed-how they are presented, positioned and focused-can help shift these models and facilitate culture change. Using mixe…
Changing the Story
Over the last quarter-century, work on issue framing has evolved to the point where the presentation and impact of frames are well understood. This is true across distinct situations, including competitive scenarios, over-time dynamics, and individuals’ selective acquisition of information. Yet, what is not fully understood is how issue framing is grounded in the larger context of opinion formation. Indeed, in some ways, this has generated ambigu…
Seeing Context through Metaphor
Human beings think in metaphor and reason through analogy. The metaphors through which we think influence how we understand and feel about social issues as well as the actions that we see as appropriate and important. Metaphors can be used to increase understanding of how issues work and increase the salience of a given issue, build support for programs and policies necessary to address the issue, and instigate demand for change and civic action.…
Reframing Aging
Findings indicate that reframing messages about aging can decrease implicit bias against older adults. This study highlights ways for communicators to promote a positive understanding of the aging process, thereby mitigating sources of implicit prejudice
Using metaphor to translate the science of resilience and developmental outcomes
Developmental scientists have used a variety of linguistic devices to communicate the science of resilience, but their effectiveness at improving understanding and expanding support for evidence-based social policies has not been empirically tested. We describe the process of developing, testing, and refining an Explanatory Metaphor to communicate the science of resilience to the public and policymakers. We argue that public understanding is key …
Conflicting Models of Mind
Looking at the issue of child mental health and drawing on theory and methods from anthropology and cognitive linguistics, this study explores the role of cultural models in science translation. In-depth interviews with members of the American public reveal the cultural assumptions that Americans employ in thinking about child mental health, which differ dramatically from the ways scientists explain this topic. The study finds that public underst…
Treatment Seeking for a Chronic Disorder
A person-centered case-study approach was used to account for treatment choices made by families of children with epilepsy seizure disorders in Kilifi, Kenya. Observations of individual families and treatment providers suggest that the local cultural system of illness classification and the process of assessing treatment results are fundamental influences on family decisions to seek treatment for childhood seizure disorders. The findings also ind…
