⭐️ PhD candidate Cosette Saunders wrote a great article for @ConversationEDU discussing the #nocebo effect and how it's relevant to you (e.g., it can be socially transmitted to you through the social media platform you're using right now)! 🤕@UsydPsych

Our new MA by #CSaunders & @winstontan_ on socially-induced #nocebo effects
Surprising me: social nocebo as strong as conditioned nocebo (but k=4 for this comparison so caution required)

Our (@PlaceboSydney) latest paper led by @BiyaTang published in @PAINthejournal shows that #choice attenuates, not diminishes conditioned #nocebo effects. We hypothesised the opposite, which is why I love doing research!

Nocebo hyperalgesia can be socially transmitted through a chain of observers. Differences in interpersonal physiological and psychological synchrony predicted subsequent socially-acquired pain.
