Over time, the relevance of heroic leadership to contemporary corporate environments has been questioned, with media coverage arguing there is a need for alternate, post-heroic forms leadership. Using multimodal analysis, we show how two leading Australian business magazines frame in response this debate, identifying three distinct frames The first emphasizes masculinized as normative which rei...

Multiplicity, variability and incongruity in the meanings of risk encountered throughout the research process (and beyond) are key foci of inquiry within sociocultural risk research, which attaches considerable importance to appreciating participants’ perspectives, orientations and contextual understandings. These foci are also associated with epistemological and methodological dilemmas since i...

Levin, Schneider and Gaeth (1998) identified three distinct types of framing effects in the literature: attribute-framing effects, goal-framing effects, risky choice-framing effects. While most previous framing studies used between-subjects manipulations of frame, the present study used two sessions, spaced one week apart, to give each of 102 participants both framing conditions and all three t...

this work concerns the situations in which the framing effects emerge. this has not been an established feature in different studies, so the reasons for its variations have been the subject of various studies since 1980s. present study aimed to determine the variables affecting the feature as well as to address the controversies exist on how these variables affect it. 551 students from engineer...

In this work we propose one of the first models of "product framing" and pricing. Product framing refers to the way in which consumer choice is influenced by how products are framed, or displayed. We introduce a model in which a set of products are organized into a set of virtual pages. We assume that consumers consider only products in the top pages, with different consumers willing to see a d...

This article discusses recent experiences with the Numeral Unit Spread Assessment Pedigree (NUSAP) system for multidimensional uncertainty assessment, based on four case studies that vary in complexity. We show that the NUSAP method is applicable not only to relatively simple calculation schemes but also to complex models in a meaningful way and that NUSAP is useful to assess not only parameter...

The recent debate on measurement item mis-specification has renewed interest in the construct explication process; however, the focus of this debate has been the interaction between latent variables and their measures (“how”), instead of between latent variables and the constructs they represent (“what”). This paper highlights the problems created when framing the formativereflective discussion...

The concept of dominance poses several dilemmas. First, while entrenched in genetics education, the metaphor of dominance promotes several misconceptions and misleading cultural perspectives. Second, the metaphors of power, prevalence and competition extend into science, shaping assumptions and default concepts. Third, because genetic causality is complex, the simplified concepts of dominance f...

Supply and demand models have been extensively used to give useful insights. As with any theoretical approach, there are some aspects which are emphasised, some which are ignored, and others given a distorted representation. An awareness of the framing of the theory is useful for identifying additional aspects to consider. This paper illustrates some of these points. In particular, consideratio...
