This study examined the way stigma impacts the effects of health message framing on emotions, attribution of responsibility, and behavioral intent. Influenced by other health researchers who highlighted the need for more information about the ways individual characteristics influence the impact of news frames, this research tested the ways emotions and individual differences interact with framing effects. Using the independent variables of message framing and stigma to create a 2 (thematic/episodic frame) x 2 (gain/loss frame) experimental design, this research operationalizes stigma through the much-used social distancing index as well as through Jones' et al. (1984) stigma characteristics: peril, origin, course, concealability, aesthetics, and disruption. The dependent variables are threefold. First, participants rated and explained their emotions. Second, cognitive reactions were operationalized through Iyengar's (1991) attribution of responsibility. Finally, this study gauged participants' intent to participate in civic engagement activities having to do with the health condition, such a voting for a candidate who supports policy intending to fix the health condition. This study takes into account stigmas audience members may have toward two different health conditions --- obesity and depression.

520 $a Results indicated gain and loss frames were more significant for driving emotion. Stigma does make a difference in how people react to news stories. Three stigma characteristics --- course (particularly the way people assess the ability for a person to get better on his or her own), origin, and concealability --- particularly stuck out as moderators of emotion. Qualitative responses illustrated the reasons for emotions, often showing that loss stories focused the negative emotions, while those who read thematic stories often focused on the topic in a more complex way. In addition to emotions, there were indications of relationships between stigma characteristics and willingness to engage in civic engagement activities involving the condition, and attribution of responsibility testing indicated that views about the causes of depression and obesity reflected the assessment of origin stigma.
520 $a Framing theory would be better served by incorporating some of these individual differences to truly understand the meaning of frames. Particularly in the health context, where stigma has demonstrable impact on people with health conditions, understanding how stigma impacts the way people respond to messages about health issues is vital for the efficacy of health messages.
