Military Intervention Decisions Regarding Humanitarian Crises

Framing Induced Risk Behavior

William A. Boettcher, III

Department of Political Science and Public Administration North Carolina State University

Factors that may affect public support or opposition to U.S. military intervention in humanitarian crises around the world are examined to determine the impact of foreign policy frames on individual risk propensity. The source of the foreign policy frames, type of humanitarian crisis, location of the crisis and race/ethnicity/religion of the endangered population, tolerable ratios of U.S. lives saved/lost to foreign citizens saved/lost, and probability of casualty-free success are also investigated.

Key Words: framing • loss aversion • humanitarian intervention • prospect theory • public opinion
