The development of an implicit measure of treatment expectations
In three preregistered studies, we investigated whether implicit treatment expectations, using a relational implicit measure (the MT-PEP), vary between participants provided opposing information about novel medical treatments (Studies 1 and 2) or who responded based on normative beliefs toward common over-the-counter drugs (Study 3). The studies revealed large Cohen's d effect sizes of both novel and well-known treatment information within the im…
Predicting the side effects of influenza vaccination
BACKGROUND: Side effects following vaccination intensify vaccine hesitancy, which remains a significant challenge to public health. Research suggests that a proportion of side effects are not caused by the vaccine but are instead associated with psychological factors that influence nocebo responding. PURPOSE: This study investigates the psychological and demographic factors associated with symptom reporting postvaccination, the attribution of the…
Thinking false and slow
Why do people believe implausible claims like conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and fake news? Past studies using the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) suggest that implausible beliefs may result from an unwillingness to effortfully process information (i.e., cognitive miserliness). Our analysis (N = 664) tests this account by comparing CRT performance (total score, number and proportion of incorrect intuitive responses, and completion time) for …

Handwashing Message Type Predicts Behavioral Intentions in the United States at the Beginning of the Global Covid-19 Pandemic
Handwashing has been widely recommended to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Despite this, handwashing behavior remains low in the general public. Social marketing has been employed as a successful health promotion strategy for changing many health behaviors in the past. The present study examines if message framing influences the effectiveness of a handwashing health promotion messages at the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a between-subj…
Investigating lay beliefs regarding the effect of weight loss on health
OBJECTIVE: Individuals with obesity are often recommended weight loss for their health; however, the amount of weight loss that is recommended varies. Lay people's beliefs about weight loss could influence the types of behaviours they view as necessary for people with obesity. The present study explored lay beliefs regarding the health benefits of varying degrees of weight loss. DESIGN: Participants (379 community members and 235 students) read i…
Social psychology and Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc in the lives of people around the world. Pandemics are powerful situations that can be examined from a social psychological lens. In this special section, four articles present data collected before and during the pandemic, providing a type of quasi-experimental design that helped examine the impact of the pandemic on social behavior. A number of findings emerged: the pandemic potentially increased instance…
Acute mental health responses during the Covid-19 pandemic in Australia
The acute and long-term mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are unknown. The current study examined the acute mental health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in 5070 adult participants in Australia, using an online survey administered during the peak of the outbreak in Australia (27th March to 7th April 2020). Self-report questionnaires examined COVID-19 fears and behavioural responses to COVID-19, as well as the severity of psycholog…
Public Perceptions of Covid-19 in Australia
Widespread and sustained engagement with health-protective behaviors (i.e., hygiene and distancing) is critical to successfully managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence from previous emerging infectious disease outbreaks points to the role of perceived risk, worry, media coverage, and knowledge in shaping engagement with health-protective behaviors and vaccination intentions. The aim of the current study was to examine the role of these factors i…
Experimental Assessment of Nocebo Effects and Nocebo Side Effects
Interest in nocebo effects is increasing exponentially: A Google Scholar search for articles referencing nocebo in 1998 (20 years ago) yields 90 results, increasing to 449 in 2008 (10 years ago) and to 1600 in 2018. Increased attention has likely resulted from recognition of the prevalence and potential seriousness of nocebo effects in clinical contexts. It is estimated that up to 97% of reported pharmaceutical side effects are not caused by the …
Nocebo effects in health psychology
The nocebo effect is a potentially powerful phenomenon that can result in harmful or unpleasant treatment outcomes caused by negative expectations, past experience, and other aspects of the treatment context. These aversive outcomes can cause patients to discontinue an otherwise beneficial treatment—resulting in suboptimal health outcomes, added burden of illness, reduced quality of life, and unnecessary hospitalisations, medical consultations, a…

The Effect of an Apparent Change to a Branded or Generic Medication on Drug Effectiveness and Side Effects
OBJECTIVE: Generic medications are associated with reduced perceived effectiveness, increased perceived adverse effects, and increased rates of nonadherence compared with brand-name medications. This study examined the effect of an apparent medication formulation change on subjective and objective measures of medication effectiveness and medication side effects. METHODS: Sixty-two university students participated in a study purportedly testing th…
