Graduate School of Education) set out to explore just how context matters when

resources. She wanted to see whether that framing had an effect on the kinds of
people they chose to go to for help. She found that when people frame their

trustworthy and have influence. But when they frame problems as being
strategic, they are more likely to turn to people they think are accessible and
have resources.
