abstract="We conducted two framing experiments to test how downplaying femicide frames affect readers' reactions. <br><br>RESULTS of Study 1 (Germany, N = 158) indicate that emotional reactions were increased when a femicide was labeled as &quot;murder&quot; compared to &quot;domestic drama.&quot; This effect was strongest among individuals with high hostile sexism. Study 2 (U.S., N = 207), revealed that male compared to female readers perceived a male perpetrator more as a loving person when the crime was labeled as &quot;love killing&quot; compared to &quot;murder.&quot; This tendency was linked to higher victim blaming. We recommend reporting guidelines to overcome the trivialization of femicides.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
