Placebo: From Pain and Analgesia to Preferences and Products
The placebo effect, traditionally studied in the context of pain and analgesia, has broader implications beyond healthcare, influencing consumer preferences and perceptions of products. This paper explores the psychological mechanisms behind the placebo effect and its application in marketing, where expectations and perceived value can shape consumer behavior. By examining how marketing actions, brand messaging, and product positioning can trigger placebo-like responses, we investigate how consumers’ beliefs about products—often fueled by advertising and brand reputation—can impact their satisfaction and purchasing decisions. The study highlights the role of expectation in the consumption process, suggesting that consumers may derive value from products not solely based on their intrinsic qualities, but also due to the psychological influence of the placebo effect in shaping their perceptions of quality and effectiveness.
