An example: "In a fascinating study, participants first read a list of words that implied either tact or brusqueness. They were then shown pictures of strangers and asked to rate their social behavior. Those subjects who had read terms that implied friendliness rated the people as extremely nice and sociable. But those that implied unfriendliness rated the same people as rude and unfriendly. (...) The people depicted were the same in both cases. It was therefore not external characteristics that determined the subjects' decision, but the respective frame that had previously been activated in them through language."
Now I wonder what frame the NZZ wants germany rcs data to activate with the following sentence:
"It (note: "the proposal") does not achieve much. In particular, two weeks of paid vacation for new fathers at the expense of third parties, since it is apparently unreasonable for those affected to invest several weeks of vacation for the birth of their own child."
At this point I would like to briefly insert a silent paragraph.
It's hard to escape the manipulative effect of this sentence. Those of you who can't even take a holiday if you have children: I won't give you two weeks for free. Pff! And I've already fallen for it.
