Attitude inoculation occurs when people are exposed to weak versions of an argument against their beliefs, which allows them to generate counterarguments and strengthen their original beliefs. Considering counterarguments is one way in which attitude inoculation can occur. The other options, such as keeping one's own opinions to oneself or ignoring reasons why a persuasive message is wrong, do not involve generating counterarguments and therefore do not lead to attitude inoculation. Refraining from making a public commitment to one's own position may reduce cognitive dissonance, but it is not directly related to attitude inoculation.
