The nocebo effect – when negative expectancies trigger adverse outcomes – causes enormous personal and societal harm. Although there have been advances in understanding some of the psychological processes underlying these effects, much less is known about how to inhibit them or the role that social learning plays in producing them. This project uses a new experimental model involving Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation to address these important gaps in our knowledge. The project will significantly advance our fundamental understanding of the nocebo effect and pave the way for translational research to reduce the substantial harm it causes.

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。尽管在理解这些效应背后的一些心理过程方面已经取得了进展，但对于如何抑制这些效应，以及社会学习在产生这些效应中所起的作用，我们所知甚少。这个项目使用一个新的实验模型，包括前庭电刺激，以解决这些重要的空白在我们的知识。该项目将大大提高我们对反安慰剂效应的基本认识，并为转化研究铺平道路，以减少其造成的实质性伤害。
