has gloss | eng: Inoculation hypothesis is defined as the idea that exposure to weak versions of a persuasive argument increases later resistance to that argument. To better explain this topic, in 1964 William McGuire came up with this: "Protecting a person's attitudes from persuasion is like inoculating the human body against disease". Inoculation hypothesis can be compared to an imunization. When the body is immunized against infection, a small dose of the particular strain is in the injection; this helps the body build a resistance to the infection. |
