Affective Science Perspectives: Placebo Effect
How can emotion theory and
research inform our understanding of the placebo effect?
Can we leverage the placebo effect
to benefit cancer prevention and control?

Affective Science Perspectives: Placebo Effect
“…a genuine psychological or physiological effect, in a human or another animal, which is attributable to receiving a substance or undergoing a procedure, but is not due to the inherent powers of that substance or procedure.”
(Stewart-Williams & Podd, Psychol Bull, 2004)
“…the psychological phenomenon that involves expectation and anticipation of clinical improvement.”
(Benedetti, Placebo Effects, 2009)

Affective Science Perspectives: Placebo Effect
“…the study of the placebo effect is the study of the psychosocial context around the patient.” (Benedetti et al., J Neurosci, 2005)
“Contextual healing” (Miller & Kaptchuk, J R Soc Med, 2008)
“…the placebo response is an evolutionarily adaptive trait…” (Thompson et al., Cult Med Psychiatry, 2009)
“Placebo effects are treatment effects caused not by the physical properties of a treatment but by the meaning ascribed to it.” (Wager et al., PNAS, 2007)

Affective Science Perspectives: Placebo Effect
Expectancy • Conscious process • Influenced by verbal suggestion
Conditioning • Involuntary process • Influenced by experience (association between a treatment
context and a neurophysiological response)
There is not a single placebo effect, but many effects

• Positive affectivity pathway
• Anxiety-reduction pathway
• Interpretive frame pathway
