Providers who exude warmth, confidence, and empathy get weaker placebo effects than providers who are remote and formal.

False

Explanation:

Placebos are used in control groups during an experiment to test the validity of the experiment. For example when testing how effective a new drug is, a group of people who have the symptoms the drug cures is selected. Some people in this group are then given the drug while the other are given a substance that has no active effect.

Some of the factors that contribute to getting a response to placebo include the perceived branding or price of the placebo, color, shape, size, and taste of the placebo.

When the control group is given a placebo with a popular brand or one they believe is expensive, they get stronger responses than from unbranded placebos or placebos the individuals believe are cheap drugs.
