Description
Q Paper 3 This q paper is based on the article “Frame Alignment Processes” by Snow et al. (1986) as well as our discussion on research concepts. Answer these three questions: 1) What are frame amplification, frame bridging, and frame extension? (briefly define these processes using your own words) 3 pts. 2) Provide your own example of frame amplification or frame extension and explain how this specific framing proces can aid in mobilization of a social movement (you can use any social movement or social movement organization to illustrate your point). 4 pts. 3) Come up with a research question that deals with some aspect of a social movement. Convert this question into a hypothesis. Identify the independent and dependent variables. 3 pts. Remember that your research question should deal with an aspect of a social movement (membership or ideology or strategy tactics, etc.) and not about the specific issue the movements advocates for or against. For example: “How effective is gun control in stopping violent crime?” is a question that does not deal with a social movement, it deals with an issue of “gun control.” “Are the tactics of the gun control movement effective in gaining public support for the movement’s goals?” is a question about a specific aspect of the social movement for gun control.
