The purpose of the study was to identify how the training of student lawyers in message framing influences their professional written and verbal communication proficiency. The study used qualitative research methods such as observations and focus groups to yield the data for the analysis. The focus group was used to obtain feedback from the sampled students concerning the training in framing messages. The study found that a specifically structured instructional model that relied on a ‘bolt-on’ module in message framing delivered throughout the entire elective course in Legal Rhetoric positively influenced students’ professional written and verbal communication proficiency. The data drawn from observations showed that students' abilities to use functional language and language rules increased throughout the training. When rating the activities for training in framing messages that are useful for lawyers, the observers mentioned five framing message activities seen as the most effective. Those were as follows: gain and loss, storytelling, WASP, call-to-action, ethos, and pathos. Gain and loss, ethos and pathos, and storytelling were rated by the observers higher than WASP and call-to-action. These were considered by the observers to be the most appropriate for the lawyer job context. Data relating to students’ general impressions of training in framing messages showed that they found this training interesting and engaging, practically useful for their jobs.   Received: 14 April 2021 / Accepted: 5 July 2021 / Published: 5 September 2021

Objective: This study explored whether the efficacy of food safety education interventions can be increased by message framing among medical university students, and demonstrated the role of personal involvement within the message recipient in moderating framed effects. Methods: A cross-sectional study of food safety message framing was conducted among medical university students (randomly selected 1353 participants). An online self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information. Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Ordered multivariate logistic regression were utilised in the data analyses. Results: The present study showed significant differences in acceptance between the gain- and loss-framed groups (p < 0.001). Participants with higher personal involvement had higher acceptance than those with low personal involvement in gain- and loss-framed message models (p < 0.001). The acceptance of participants who were concerned about their health condition was higher than those who were neutral regarding their health condition (p < 0.001) and participants who suffered a food safety incident had higher acceptance than those who did not (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study portrayed the selection preference of message framing on food safety education among medical university students in southwest China. Participants exposed to loss-framed messages had higher message acceptance than those exposed to gain-framed messages. Personal involvement may affect the food safety message framing. Public health advocates and professionals can use framed messages as a strategy to enhance intervention efficacy in the process of food safety education.

Abstract Background: Oral health is considered as a prominent factor that contribute to quality of life. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can influence oral health. Message framing can play an important role in motivating oral health behaviors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of message framing on the oral health behaviors and dental plaque among pregnant women.Methods: This randomized field trial was conducted in 2017 on 108 pregnant women in Izeh county, Iran.The participants were randomly divided into three groups; gain-framed, loss-framed, and control group. The research instrument included a two parts questionnaire containing demographic information and oral health knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, practice, and dental plaque index. Gain-and loss-framed messages were sent to the intervention groups via cell phones, but the control group did not receive any messages. The participants’ dental plaque were clinically assessed. Data were analyzed using SPSS version, 23.0. P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, and self-efficacy were significantly increased in the gain- and loss-framed intervention groups (gain knowledge (6.05±1.90; CI:5.40-6.71); gain attitude(5.00±3.61; CI:3.75-6.24); gain behavioral intention (2.91±1.59; CI:2.36-3.46); gain self-efficacy (4.42±2.69; CI:3.50-5.35); loss knowledge (5.71±1.52; CI:5.19-6.23); loss attitude (4.54±2.67; CI:3.62-5.46); loss behavioral intention (2.25±1.94; CI:1.58-2.92); loss self-efficacy (3.97±2.60; CI:3.07-4.86) (p<0.001). No significant difference was observed in the control group (knowledge (0.38±1.45; CI:0.12-0.89, p=0.135); attitude (0.88±3.63; CI:0.38-2.14, p= 0.166); behavioral intention (-0.38±1.74; CI: -0.98-0.22, p=0.2); self-efficacy (.0.50±3.23; CI: -1.62-0.62, p=0.37). The rising trend in the mean score of the behaviors in the intervention groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (p<0.001). The ratio of dental plaque on teeth surfaces in the gain- and loss-framed intervention groups also showed a significant decrease compared to control group (gain dental plaque (16.46±11.66; CI:12.46-20.47, p<0.001); loss dental plaque (15.06±8.52; CI:12.13-17.99, p<0.001). Conclusion: Text message intervention improved knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, and dental plaque among pregnant women. The results show that text messages mattered, but the framing did not"; because there was a difference between intervention and control groups but not that "message framing matters" because the particular framing of the messages had no pronounced effect.

Abstract Background Oral health is taken into account as an important factor in determining individuals’ quality of life. In this respect, pregnancy can have its own significant effects on oral health. Therefore, health messages can play an important role in motivating people to improve their health-related behaviors. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of message framing on oral health-related behaviors as well as dental plaque among pregnant women. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted on a total number of 108 pregnant women in the city of Izeh, Iran in 2017. To this end, the participants were randomly divided into three groups; gain-framed, loss-framed and control group. The research instrument included a demographic characteristics questionnaire along with the constructs of knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, performance, and dental plaque index derived from previous studies. Moreover, gain- and loss-framed messages were sent to the intervention groups via cell phones but the control group did not receive any messages in this regard. The participants’ dental plaque was also examined within two steps by a dentist. The significance level of the tests was considered by p<0.05. Results The results revealed that the mean scores of knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, and self-efficacy had significantly increased in the gain- and loss-framed intervention groups (p<0.001) as compared to control group; but no significant difference was observed in the control group (knowledge, p=0.135; attitude, p= 0.166; behavioral intention, p=0.2; self-efficacy, p=0.37). The rising trend in the mean score of the behaviors in the intervention groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (p<0.001). The percentage of dental plaque in the gain- and loss-framed intervention groups also showed a significant decrease compared with that in the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion The results revealed message framing could improve knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, and dental plaque among pregnant women. Also, the gain-framed oral health messages could more improve the study variables, although such a difference was not significant.

Abstract How can a cosmopolitan message about refugees be communicated in an international political context characterized by growing hostility to outsiders at the national level? This article provides a detailed analysis of a specific World Refugee Day campaign based on extensive access to internal data from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and interviews with key informants alongside case studies of the campaign in two European countries: the United Kingdom (UK) and Bulgaria. While internal UNHCR assessment suggested successful meeting of pre-set targets, a series of issues around the implementation of message framing and the potential for this to generate action are identified. The article applies ideas about the communication of distant suffering to explore how World Refugee Day campaigns operate as interventions into global public discourse. The analysis of the campaign framing finds that it maximized space for solidaristic understanding of the refugee issue and reflexivity. However, the article argues that the communication of these ideas is impacted by the practical and organizational challenges (and opportunities) of developing a professional communication strategy in the context of a rapidly changing media and political environment.

Abstract The article focus on how dance pedagogues describe their modes of using verbal communication in the dance studio, and it is based on interviews and observations of dance education. The theoretical base embraces ideas about bodies as well as theories about the importance of metaphors in embodied communication. Moreover, it is argued that pedagogues and dance students are engaged in a corporeal version of critical thinking, in which verbal language is one of several important aspects. Four pedagogues are interviewed and they represent different dance genres, which affects the kind of verbal communication used. However, a major common opinion is that the use of metaphors has undergone an historical change. A frequent use of metaphors with references to nature has today been exchanged for a more concrete, functional language. It could well be affected by both the dance techniques in use, and the current aesthetic trends in choreography.

The article is dedicated to studying the psycholinguistic aspects of the phenomenon of sense in verbal communication. The theoretical analysis of psycholinguistics patterns regarding the subject of the research has allowed for revealing the peculiarities of transforming certain senses into notions by an individual in the course of communication. In verbal communication, the updates of identification, induction, and reflexive evaluation mechanisms of the communicants’ senses provide for the processes of constructing the addressee’s own notional structures along with their further embedment into the linguistic world picture. The addresser, being an active subject of sensemaking, constructs his own messages for the most accurate sense transmission to the addressee, to organize the joint activity and affect the behavior. The purpose of the experimental research was to identify the peculiarities of the senses of communication in adolescent individuals. The most prominent associations of the concept under research have become communication, friendship, mutual understanding, trust, interests. The analysis of the associative field has demonstrated that the respondents view the sense of their own communication mainly in the emotionally close relationship with their agemates. The foreground values in building such relationship are honesty, partnership, a possibility to trust another person, to rely on his/her help when facing hardships. In life-long transspective, the respondents predominantly project the senses of communication in the present time. The senses prolonged into the future are observed only in the association area of the professional academic and professional communication, the formation of which is open and has not been finalized. The priority areas of the semantic field of the concept under research are as follows: the area of the interpersonal interaction proper, the relationship design area, and the area of understanding and interpreting the interlocutor’s messages. The specifics of the development of a contemporary personality in late years of adolescence is represented by the contents of the association areas of self-expression, self-management of one’s own activity, and the communication organization means.

Abstract Background: Health messages can play an important role in motivating people to improve their health-related behaviors. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of message-framing on oral health-related behaviors and dental plaque among pregnant women. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 104 pregnant women in Izeh, Iran in 2017. Participants were randomly divided into three groups; gain-framed, loss-framed and control groups. The research instrument included a demographic form along with the constructs of knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, performance, and dental plaque index derived from previous studies. Moreover, gain- and loss-framed messages were sent to the intervention groups via cell phones but the control group did not receive any messages in this regard. The participants’ dental plaque was also examined within two steps( at baseline and 8-weeks follow-up) by a dentist. The significance level of the tests was considered by p<0.05. Results: The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, and self-efficacy had significantly increased in the gain- and loss-framed intervention groups; (gain-framed knowledge(6.05±1.90;CI:5.40-6.71); attitude(5.00±3.61;CI:3.75-6.24); behavioral intention (2.91±1.59;CI:2.36-3.46), and self-efficacy (4.42±2.69;CI:3.50-5.35), loss-farmed knowledge (5.71±1.52;CI:5.19-6.23), attitude (4.54±2.67;CI:3.62-5.46), behavioral intention (2.25±1.94;CI:1.58-2.92), and self-efficacy (3.97±2.60;CI:3.07-4.86) (p<0.001) as compared to the control group; but no significant difference was observed in the control group (knowledge (0.38±1.45;CI:0.12-0.89, p=0.135); attitude (0.88±3.63;CI:0.38-2.14, p= 0.166); behavioral intention (-0.38±1.74;CI:-0.98-0.22 , p=0.2); self-efficacy (.0.50±3.23;CI:-1.62-0.62, p=0.37) ). The rising trend in the mean score of the behaviors in the intervention groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (p<0.001). The percentage of dental plaque in the gain- and loss-framed intervention groups also showed a significant decrease compared with that in the control group (gain-framed dental plaque (16.46±11.66;CI:12.46-20.47, p<0.001); loss-framed dental plaque (15.06±8.52;CI:12.13-17.99, p<0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that message-framing could enhance knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, self-efficacy, and performance regarding oral health, also it could reduced dental plaque in the intervention groups as compared to the control group. Meanwhile, no significant difference was observed in terms of the effectiveness of the loss- or gain-framed messages in these construct. The results might help health practioners to develop tailored oral health promoting messages for pregnant women.

The article discusses the strategies and role of professional verbal communication versus verbal communication business. It is argued that the overall strategy of business communication, the impact of the modeling of the behavior of the interlocutor to the speaker in the desired direction and correction of the world model of the listener. The main strategy here is to achieve victory, which is that success come at the expense of suppression of the partner. Professional communication, in contrast, uses both the overall strategy of interaction, and as a main agreement, to success when partners come together. Business and professional communication combines a professional task for which communication took place. Communicating on a personal level, each shows his “I-man”. The determining factor in such communication is the understanding that all personalities in a communicative sense, equal.

Advice Quality

Features of advice messages have received considerable attention in prior research, but the framing of advice has remained underexplored. This study examined the influence of advice message framing (i.e., gain-framed message vs. loss-framed message) on recipients’ responses to advice in terms of evaluation of advice quality, facilitation of coping, and intention to implement advice. The mediating roles of regard for face and efficacy were also assessed. A total of 605 participants read and responded to a hypothetical conversation in which they received advice from a friend. Results indicated that gain-framed advice messages elicited higher evaluations of advice quality and higher perceptions of facilitation of coping in comparison with loss-framed advice messages. Recipient’s perceptions of the advice-giver’s regard for face mediated the impact of framing on evaluation of advice quality and facilitation of coping.
