Abstract
This investigation examined the boundaries of inoculation theory by examining how inoculation can be applied to conspiracy theory propaganda as well as inoculation itself (called metainoculation). A 3-phase experiment with 312 participants compared 3 main groups: no-treatment control, inoculation, and metainoculation. Research questions explored how inoculation and metainoculation effects differ based on the argument structure of inoculation messages (fact- vs. logic-based). The attack message was a 40-minute chapter from the 9/11 Truth conspiracy theory film, Loose Change: Final Cut. The results indicated that both the inoculation treatments induced more resistance than the control message, with the fact-based treatment being the most effective. The results also revealed that metainoculation treatments reduced the efficacy of the inoculation treatments.
Well well well - that's a January 2013 abstract in a new "scientific journal":
Quote:Human Communication Research
Editor: John Courtright
Human Communication Research concentrates on presenting empirical work in any area of human communication. The special brief of the journal is to advance understanding of human symbolic processes, so there is a strong emphasis on theory-driven research, the development of new theoretical models in communication, and the development of innovative methods for observing and measuring communication behavior. The journal has a broad social science focus, so it should appeal to scholars in communication from psychology, sociology, linguistics, and anthropology, as well as areas of communication science.

Sounds like the kind of pseudo academic psyop that Cass Sunstein would sponsor.
I just lurved this:

Soon, I guess anyone signing up for DPF will need to get inoculated first.
Maybe they'll inject a unique pet tracking microchip under our skin.
Sorry, but I have to SHOUT THIS SUNSTEINIAN PSYOP SHIT OUT LOUD:
by examining how inoculation can be applied to conspiracy theory propaganda as well as inoculation itself (called metainoculation)
To use the English vernacular, if these psyop wankers could write and think I might be worried....
But on reflection - nah, they're just wankers.
