코로나19 뉴스 프레임이 개인에 대한 처벌 정책 지지에 미치는 영향 : 책임 인식과 분노의 매개효과
초록
본 연구는 신종 감염병을 인식하고 대응하는 과정에서 뉴스 프레임이 어떤 역할을 하는지 살펴보았다. 신종 감염병은 불확실성이 크고 예측이 불가능하다는 점을 고려해, 사람들의 인지적 반응인 책임 인식과 정서적 반응인 감정에 주목해 실증적인 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 신종 코로나 바이러스 감염증(코로나19)을 사례로 하여, 뉴스의 주요 프레임으로 일화적 프레임과 주제적 프레임을 선정하고, 온라인 실험을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 일화적 프레임은 주제적 프레임보다 개인의 책임에 대한 인식에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤고, 개인의 책임에 대한 인식은 분노 유발에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 그리고 일화적 프레임은 개인의 책임에 대한 인식과 분노를 매개로 처벌 정책을 지지하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 뉴스 프레임에 따른 사람들의 책임 인식의 차이를 재확인하였으며, 신종 감염병 보도의 커뮤니케이션 과정에서 사람들의 인지적 반응과 정서적 반응의 역할을 검증했다는 점에서 연구의 함의를 찾아볼 수 있다.
Abstract
This study examined the role of news frames in influencing cognitive and emotional responses to an emerging infectious disease and their effects on related policy support. Specifically, we selected episodic frame and thematic frame as the main frames of news coverage on COVID-19 and conducted an online experiment. The results showed that an episodic frame had greater effects on the perception of individuals’ responsibility than a thematic frame, and that perception of individuals’ responsibility, in turn, led to greater levels of anger. Overall, the episodic frame led to greater support toward punitive policy through perceived responsibility and anger. Based on the results of these analyses, this study reaffirmed the differences in the roles of episodic and thematic news frames on perceptions of responsibility and explained the differential framing effects on policy support by examining a mechanism involving individuals’ cognitive and emotional responses to emerging infectious diseases news.
