Framing Influence of Emotions and Attitudes towards Alzheimer’s Disease on Slovak and Spanish Laypersons: a Cross-Cultural Approach

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Representations about Alzheimer’s disease (AD) influence both emotions and attitudestowards this dementia. This study aimed to explore how the AD framing used in awarenesscampaigns influences self-reported emotions and attitudes towards AD, and whether thisinfluence differs between Slovak and Spanish cultures. For this purpose, posters includingframed messages on AD (Dualism, Unity, and control) were designed and presented to 275participants (Mage = 21.23 years, SDage = 5.13, 81.1% females) from Slovakia (n = 134) andSpain (n = 141). To analyse the framing effect, attitudes towards AD were measured twice(before and after the posters display) and a mixed design of repeated measures ANOVA wasused to compare both measures. The emotions elicited by the stimulus exposure were alsorecorded and a MANOVA test was performed on them. Elicited emotions and attitudechange were compared in both Slovak and Spanish samples. Results showed that Slovakparticipants displayed positive attitudes towards AD, but to a lesser extent compared withthe Spanish ones. Unity-framed messages resulted in a positive change in attitudes regardless of the participants’ culture and led to a higher degree of happiness, whereas Dualismframed messages produced more negative emotions (i.e., sadness, anger, fear, and disgust)and had a major impact on participants without changing their attitudes. Using positiveframes as Unity seems to be relevant to achieve a positive attitudinal change in both targetedcultures (Slovak and Spanish), even though the Slovak participants initially presented fewerpositive attitudes at the beginning. In conclusion, reframing should be considered as aworldwide tool to help improve attitudes towards AD and reduce the stigma associated withthis form of dementia in the general population, regardless the culture’s audience.
