Abstract
⺠At their most negative, US trial participants conceptualised placebo effects as illusory effects produced by fake treatments. ⺠At their most positive, placebo effects were valued and conceptualised as examples of psychological healing mechanisms. ⺠Negative conceptualisations of placebo effects led participants to see placebo responders as gullible. ⺠Information for clinical trial participants should accurately reflect current scientific knowledge about placebo effects.
