Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Superstitious people are more likely to believe in the power of placebos, which are inactive substances or treatments that are given to a patient but are supposed to have therapeutic effects. These effects are typically due to the person's belief in the treatment, rather than any actual physiological effects. Therefore, superstitious people may be more susceptible to experiencing positive outcomes from placebos. Adulterated drugs and drugs offered by strangers are not relevant to this question, and hormone-related substances may have physiological effects rather than being solely dependent on belief.
