Inoculation theory: Using misinformation to fight misinformation
my notes ( ? )
A little bit of something bad helps you resist a full-blown case... Inoculating text requires two elements. First, it includes an explicit warning about the danger of being misled by misinformation. Second, you need to provide counterarguments explaining the flaws in that misinformation...
explaining the misinformation technique completely neutralized the misinformation’s influence, without even mentioning the misinformation specifically... mesh together the findings of inoculation with the cognitive psychology of debunking, developing the Fact-Myth-Fallacy framework... explaining the facts, followed by introducing a myth related to those facts... people are presented with two conflicting pieces of information. You reconcile the conflict by explaining the technique that the myth uses to distort the fact... the key to stopping science denial is to expose people to just a little bit of science denial.
