The Frame of Meaning

The Frame of Meaning is the context or perspective that shapes how we interpret information, ideas, or messages. It acts like a mental lens, influencing what we notice and how we understand what’s being communicated. Our background, beliefs, experiences, and cultural norms all contribute to this frame. By recognizing the frame, we can better understand why people see things differently and how context influences meaning. Essentially, it’s the framework that guides our perception and interpretation, ensuring our understanding aligns with the specific situation or perspective involved.
