Discuss the balanced placebo design and the research that it has generated about drinking.
On Jul 13, 2024
A. The balanced placebo design is a design used in research on drinking.
1. The design contains four groups-two that get alcohol and two that do not; of the people in each of the two groups, the members of one group believe that they are getting alcohol and those in the other believe that they are not getting alcohol.
2. The design allows for the evaluation of alcohol's effects and for the evaluation of the placebo effect of alcohol, the belief about alcohol's effects.
B. Research with the balanced placebo design has revealed that expectancy effects occur in the use of alcohol and that these effects are separate from the physical effects of alcohol.
1. People who think that they have received alcohol exhibit effects of alcohol.
2. People who think that they have not received alcohol fail to show the effects of alcohol at low levels but show effects at high levels of alcohol consumption.
3. The loss of control and craving that accompany problem drinking have an expectancy component.
