Grant Activity:
The nocebo effect: the dark side of placebos
Purpose:
This project aims to understand the nocebo effect - when negative information triggers adverse outcomes - and how to reduce it. Despite a wealth of evidence for the existence of nocebo effects across various settings, there are critical gaps in our current understanding of how these effects occur and whether we can reduce them. To address this, the current project develops and experimentally tests a new model of the nocebo effect that will uncover its underlying mechanisms as well as strategies to inhibit it. The expected outcomes from this project can contribute to minimising the substantial individual and societal harm caused by the nocebo effect and associated health and economic costs.
