The phrase "abstract frame" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to art, design, or theoretical discussions where a conceptual or non-literal framework is being described.
Example: "The artist created an abstract frame around the central theme of her work, allowing viewers to interpret the piece in various ways."
Alternatives: "conceptual framework" or "theoretical structure".

Yet, once biological explanations become salient for abstract framing (due to, for instance, biological explanations being compatible with generic abstract framing), it may make psychological explanations less salient for abstract framing.
In contrast, since concrete framing makes psychological explanations more available, psychological interventions (e.g. psychotherapy) should appear more effective with concrete rather than abstract framing.
A space is a more abstract framing of certain types of practice than, for example "nation" or "economic area" (Tuan 1979).
Thus, we are not claiming that abstract framing would increase endorsement of biological explanations to the extent that they would be preferred to psychological explanations.
For instance, "Don is full of himself" would be difficult to explain in terms of biological factors and thus although an abstract framing like "Some people are full of themselves" may make biological accounts more plausible, psychological accounts may still be more dominant than biological accounts even in the abstract framing.
First, abstract framing, which conveys general patterns, triggers the need for more immutable explanations (e.g. Cimpian & Salomon, 2014), and biological properties are judged to be immutable and timeless (e.g. Dar-Nimrod & Heine, 2011; Lebowitz et al., 2013) just like generic abstract framing.
Taken together, findings such as these suggest that biological explanations may seem more compatible with abstract framing, which describes timeless patterns, than with concrete framing, which describes transient events.
The abstract frames of Shulman's Fast Forward exhibition at the White Noise Gallery in Rome marry the intricate and muddy character of an expressionist painting with the stillness of a photograph.
Differences in the characteristics of participant groups (recruited through home-visit service vs. through self-help groups) also demonstrated variations that contributed to the construction of an abstract explanatory frame.
