해석수준이론과 계층적 토픽 모델링을 활용한 제주 예멘 난민 사례에 대한 프레임 분석

Abstract

This study conducted a frame analysis using BERTopic-based hierarchical topic modeling on the 2018 case of Yemeni refugees in Jeju Island to offer insights for frame research and policy. The findings revealed that people's interpretation levels and frames shifted based on their psychological distance. The consistency across the four dimensions of psychological distance was not always maintained. Furthermore, media played a crucial role in mediating psychological distance by conveying both high-level and low-level interpretations. In light of these results, this study underscores that frames can emerge not only from core values but also from immediate psychological mechanisms. Therefore, it suggests that a combination of frame analysis and Construal Level Theory is essential for comprehensively analyzing the multifaceted nature of frames.
