Notes:
Prepared for the FrameWorks Institute by Meg Bostrom, Public Knowledge LLC. 46 pages., Summarizes findings of a national survey of adults to determine the effects of various conceptual frames on people's understanding of the food syswtem and their support for related policies.
9 pages., Via online journal., This article reports on an exploratory study designed to measure community leaders’
attitudes toward scenes from working rural landscapes as elicited by photographs
paired with a semantic differential scale. Using this approach it is determined that
age, occupation, knowledge about farm structure, and community size are important
factors shaping the diverse attitudes held by community leaders in rural southern
Illinois. Findings suggest that the position and magnitude of attitude differences
between relevant social groups be examined prior to launching new rural development initiatives.
