Guilt is an unpleasant and overwhelming emotion, but researchers at the University of Basel have demonstrated that placebos can effectively reduce feelings of guilt, even when the placebo is administered openly. In our interactions with others, we may not always behave in an ideal manner. When we
Guilt is an emotional response that arises when an individual perceives that they have violated a moral or ethical standard. It is often accompanied by feelings of remorse, shame, and regret. While guilt can be a powerful motivator for making amends and changing behavior, excessive or prolonged guilt can lead to negative outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and reduced self-esteem.
In our interactions with others, we may not always behave in an ideal manner. When we realize that our actions have caused harm, we often experience feelings of guilt. This unpleasant feeling drives us to take corrective action, such as offering an apology or accepting responsibility. Participants were then randomized to three conditions: Participants in one group were given placebo pills with being deceptively told that this was a real medication while participants in another group were told that they are given a placebo. Both groups were told that what they had been given will be effective against feelings of guilt. The control group was given no treatment at all.
Scientific studies have shown that placebo effects can be powerful in treating depression. But the finding that open-label placebos can also be useful for such strong emotions as guilt is new. It stands to reason, says Dilan Sezer, that we should try to harness these effects to help those affected. “The administering of open-label placebos, in particular, is a promising approach, as it preserves patient autonomy by allowing patients to be fully aware of how the intervention works.
