- 요약This study investigates the effects of linguistic framing, specifically the use of nouns versus verbs, on individuals' behavior and self-perception in activities related to reading and writing. Drawing upon the concept of noun essentialism, which suggests that nouns associated with an individual convey something intrinsic and enduring to their identity, this research explores the hypothesis that framing these activities with nouns (e.g., reader, writer) can increase effort for those who are primed with and accept these identity labels. Conversely, it also considers the possibility that such framing might reduce effort for those who are primed with and do not identify with the implied identity. The study presents two online experiments designed to test these hypotheses. Study 1 examines the impact of noun-based (e.g., Do you consider yourself a reader?) versus verb-based (e.g., Do you enjoy reading?) priming questions on participants' effort in a reading task, measured by their ability to answer comprehension questions and identify grammatical errors in a passage. Study 2 investigates the effect of similar noun-based (e.g., Do you consider yourself a writer?) and verb-based (e.g., Do you enjoy writing?) priming on the effort exerted in a writing task, measured through word count, writing completion time, and text readability (i.e., the grade level required to read a text). While prior research has indicated that noun framing can positively influence behaviors like voter turnout, the findings of the study reveal no significant differences in effort (as measured in Studies 1 and 2) between participants primed with noun-based versus verb-based questions. Additionally, Study 2 explored the potential influence of AI-generated responses on the writing task, noting a trend of higher AI use rate among participants who did not identify with the writer noun framing, although these differences were not statistically significant. Despite the lack of support for the initial hypotheses, the study contributes to the theoretical understanding of nominalization effects by suggesting that the persuasive advantage of nouns may be domain-specific and contingent on factors like identity salience and the competitive nature of the task.
