Provides an in-depth account of inoculation theory across multiple disciplines and applied contexts worldwide
Inoculation theory has become one of the most influential frameworks for understanding how people resist persuasion, misinformation, and undue influence. Despite its wide-ranging application in fields as diverse as political communication, health promotion, advertising, organizational management, law, and public relations, much of the available literature on inoculation remains scattered across journal articles and limited book chapters. The Handbook of Inoculation Theory and Practice addresses this critical gap by offering a single, authoritative resource that brings together the full scope of theory, research, and application.
Spanning 35 chapters organized into three major sections, the Handbook provides unparalleled depth and breadth. The opening section traces the foundations of inoculation theory, its historical development, and evolving conceptual frameworks. The second section addresses issues of study design, measurement, and analytic strategies essential to advancing inoculation research. The volume concludes by highlighting applications across a wide spectrum of contexts, including politics, health, sports, crisis communication, gaming, education, journalism, public policy, and beyond. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, each chapter delivers both rigorous theoretical grounding and forward-looking perspectives that reveal how inoculation continues to shape communication practice and research.
Mapping what inoculation theory has achieved while exploring its enduring potential in confronting today’s complex communication challenges, The Handbook of Inoculation:
The Handbook of Inoculation: Theory and Practice is an essential reference for graduate students, scholars, and practitioners working in communication, psychology, sociology, political science, marketing, public health, and related disciplines. It is especially relevant for advanced courses in persuasion, social influence, communication theory, social psychology, and resistance to persuasion, and serves as a foundational resource for researchers and professionals seeking to apply inoculation strategies in diverse contexts.
Bobi Ivanov is a Professor of Advertising in the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida. His research focuses on social influence, persuasion, and resistance, with an emphasis on inoculation theory, strategic message design, advertising, and risk communication. He has published extensively in leading journals and contributed to advancing inoculation scholarship across multiple domains.
Kimberly A. Parker is a Professor in the University of Kentucky College of Communication and Information. A former Fulbright Scholar, she studies social influence, persuasive communication, and resistance, with a focus on promoting positive social change. With 25 years of nonprofit collaboration experience, Dr. Parker has published widely and applies her expertise to both academic and applied contexts.
Josh Compton is Professor of Speech at Dartmouth College. Internationally recognized for his expertise on inoculation theory, he has studied the field for more than two decades, publishing influential work that has sparked conversations among groups as varied as NATO, the U.S. Department of Defense, healthcare professionals, and medievalists.
