This article describes 3 studies that explore the role of mindsets in context stress. In Study 1, we present data supporting reliability and validity an 8-item instrument, Stress Mindset Measure (SMM), designed to assess extent which individual believes effects stress are either enhancing or debilitating. 2, demonstrate can be altered by watching short, multimedia film clips presenting factual information biased toward defining nature 1 2 ways (stress-is-enhancing vs....
Placebo and nocebo effects occur in clinical or laboratory medical contexts after administration of an inert treatment as part active treatments are due to psychobiological mechanisms such expectancies the patient. studies have evolved from predominantly methodological research into a far-reaching interdisciplinary field that is unravelling neurobiological, behavioural underpinnings these phenomena broad variety conditions. As consequence, there increasing demand health professionals develop...
Prior research suggests that altering situation-specific evaluations of stress as challenging versus threatening can improve responses to stress. The aim the current study was explore whether cognitive, physiological and affective be altered independent by changing individuals' mindsets about nature in general.Using a 2 × design, we experimentally manipulated mindset using multi-media film clips orienting participants (N = 113) either enhancing or debilitating We also challenge threat...
In a study testing whether the relationship between exercise and health is moderated by one's mind-set, 84 female room attendants working in seven different hotels were measured on physiological variables affected exercise. Those informed condition told that work they do (cleaning hotel rooms) good satisfies Surgeon General's recommendations for an active lifestyle. Examples of how their was provided. Subjects control group not given this information. Although actual behavior did change, 4...
To test whether physiological satiation as measured by the gut peptide ghrelin may vary depending on mindset in which one approaches consumption of food.On 2 separate occasions, participants (n = 46) consumed a 380-calorie milkshake under pretense that it was either 620-calorie "indulgent" shake or 140-calorie "sensible" shake. Ghrelin via intravenous blood samples at 3 time points: baseline (20 min), anticipatory (60 and postconsumption (90 min). During first interval (between 20 60 min)...
Recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence and data analytics are facilitating automation some consumer chores (e.g., smart homes self-driving cars) allow emergence big-data-driven, micro-targeting marketing practices personalized content recommendation algorithms). We contend that those can generate a tension for marketers, consumers, policy makers: They can, on one hand, contribute to well-being by making choices easier, more practical, efficient. On other they also...
Scientific evidence regularly guides policy decisions
Objective: Research on placebo/nocebo effects suggests that expectations can influence treatment outcomes, but are not always evident.This research demonstrates a provider's social behavior moderates the effect of physiological outcomes.Methods: After inducing an allergic reaction in participants through histamine skin prick test, healthcare provider administered cream with no active ingredients and set either positive (cream will reduce reaction) or negative increase reaction).The...
The dominant cultural valuation of stress is that it bad for me. This leads to regulatory goals reducing or avoiding stress. In this article, we propose an alternative approach-stress optimization-which integrates theory and research on mindset (e.g., Crum, Salovey, & Achor, 2013) reappraisal Jamieson, Mendes, Blackstock, Schmader, 2010) interventions. We further integrate these theories with the extended process model emotion regulation (Gross, 2015). so doing, explain how altering...
Healthy food labels tout health benefits, yet most people prioritize tastiness in the moment of choice. In a preregistered intervention, we tested whether taste-focused compared with health-focused increased vegetable intake at five university dining halls throughout United States. Across 137,842 diner decisions, 185 days, and 24 types, selection by 29% 14% basic labels. Vegetable consumption also increased. Supplementary studies further probed mediators, moderators, boundaries these...
Prior research has shown that adverse events in the lives of adolescents precipitate psychological distress, which turn impairs self‐control. This study ( N = 1,343) examined protective effects stress mindsets —beliefs about extent to might be beneficial or strictly detrimental. The results confirmed increasing number life across school year predicted rank order increases perceived decreases Adolescents who believed potential benefits were less prone feeling stressed wake events. These...

However, psychological science itself yet to be focus of or systematic review, despite our field’s investment questions equity, status, well-being, bias, disparities. In present article, we consider 10 topics relevant for women’s science. We on issues that have subject empirical study, discuss evidence within outside science, draw established theory social-science research begin chart...
This Viewpoint defines mindsets—frames of mind that orient beliefs or expectations—discusses how they can influence patients' perceptions about treatment and self-efficacy, proposes ways physicians might shape mindsets during clinical encounters to enhance effectiveness.
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a massive global health crisis. Because the crisis requires large-scale behaviour change and places significant psychological burdens on individuals, insights from social behavioural sciences can be used to help align human behavior with recommendations of epidemiologists public experts. Here we discuss evidence selection research topics relevant pandemics, including work navigating threats, cultural influences behaviour, science communication, moral...
Research demonstrates that the placebo effect can influence effectiveness of medical treatments and accounts for a significant proportion healing in many conditions. However, providers may differ degree to which they consciously or unconsciously leverage forces produce effects clinical practice. Some studies suggest manner interact with patients shapes magnitude effects, but this research has yet distill
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Clinical and laboratory studies demonstrate that placebo nocebo effects influence various symptoms conditions after the administration of both inert active treatments. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> There is an increasing need for up-to-date recommendations on how to inform patients about in clinical practice train clinicians disclose this information. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Based previous...
Experimental research has demonstrated that a stress-is-enhancing mindset can be induced and improve outcomes by presenting information on the enhancing nature of stress. However, experimental evidence, media portrayals, personal experience about debilitating stress may challenge this mindset. Thus, traditional approach focusing more "desired" without arming participants against encounters with less desired mindsets not sustainable in face conflicting information. How might limitation...
