Inoculation theory in the post‐truth era: Extant findings and new frontiers for contested science, misinformation, and conspiracy theories (2021, background): “Similar findings have been reported by others across domains, including climate change (Cook et al., 2017; van der Linden, Leiserowitz, 2017), emerging energy technologies (Bolsen & Druckman, 2015), and conspiracy theories about 9/11 and vaccine safety (Banas & Miller, 2013; Jolley & Douglas, 2017).”
Why conspiracy theories matter: A social psychological analysis (2018, background): “We therefore next reasoned that a way to strengthen the persuasiveness of anti-conspiracy arguments may be to present them before participants have been exposed to conspiracy theories next (Jolley & Douglas, 2017).”
Attitudes Towards Science (2018, background): “…thinkers tend to be resistant to falsification, because they believe that disproofs and debunks offered by authorities are not only unconvincing but may themselves be part of the ongoing conspiracy to cover up events and mislead the public ( Jolley & Douglas, 2017; Lewandowsky et al., 2015).”

Framing Climate Change: Economics, Ideology, and Uncertainty in American News Media Content From 1988 to 2014 (2019, background): “press disseminates uncertainty frames about climate change, such information might play a negative role in people’s attitudes about climate change and climate change mitigation policies (Cook et al., 2017; Jolley and Douglas, 2017).”
Mistrust and misinformation: A two-component, socio-epistemic model of belief in conspiracy theories (2020, background): “To date, the few studies of mitigation strategies against other types of BCT suggest that “inoculation strategies” that offer pre-emptive warnings about exposure to misinformation and conspiracy theories are among themost evidence-based interventions (Banas &Miller, 2013; Jolley & Douglas, 2017).”
Towards psychological herd immunity: Cross-cultural evidence for two prebunking interventions against COVID-19 misinformation (2021, background): “Second, traditional psychological inoculations often target specific false or misleading arguments, for example about climate change (Cook et al., 2017; van der Linden et al., 2017b) or vaccinations (Jolley and Douglas, 2017).”
Conspiracy theories as barriers to controlling the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. (2020, background): “One is through reduced perception of the threat and the other through concerns about the safety of vaccines (Jolley and Douglas, 2017).”
COVID-19–Related Infodemic and Its Impact on Public Health: A Global Social Media Analysis (2020, background): “aimed at promoting evidence against misinformation quickly and clearly might change people’s perception and healthseeking behaviors.(52,53) Currently, the WHO and other health”
