Nocebo effects – when negative expectancies trigger adverse outcomes – cause enormous personal and societal harm. We have made great progress understanding how instruction and conditioning contribute to nocebo effects. Yet, the role of social learning – what we learn by observing others – has received surprisingly little attention despite its relevance to many prominent societal-level nocebo effects. The current project uses novel experimental methods to understand how social learning contributes to nocebo effects and which strategies inhibit these effects. The results will significantly advance scientific understanding of socially-induced nocebo effects and pave the way for translational research to reduce the substantial harm they cause.

反安慰剂效应——当负面预期引发不良后果时——会对个人和社会造成巨大伤害。我们在理解指导和条件作用如何影响反安慰剂效应方面取得了很大进展。然而，社会学习的作用——我们通过观察他人来学习的东西——却出人意料地很少受到关注，尽管它与许多突出的社会层面的反安慰剂效应有关。目前的项目使用新颖的实验方法来了解社会学习如何促进反安慰剂效应以及哪些策略抑制这些效应。该研究结果将显著促进对社会诱导的反安慰剂效应的科学理解，并为减少其造成的实质性伤害的转化研究铺平道路。
