Placebo Also Applies to animals
An experiment conducted on a grasshopper inserted into a glass case. Initially the grasshopper can jump up to 50 cm. Then mounted the glass divider as high as 25 cm, so that every time the grasshopper jumps, his head will hit the glass barrier. A week later, the barrier was taken. But the locusts kept jumping exactly 25cm high.
Placebo effect in daily life
From the stories above you all must have understood about the effects of placebo in the medical world. However, it turns out the placebo effect is not only used in the medical world only. And without us knowing, in everyday life a lot of things that are placebo around us.
Maybe you never know that there is a crossing button in every red light. But apparently, 97% of the button is a fake key and has absolutely no function. Even according to ABC News reports, there is only one button that actually works in Austin, Texas, Gainsville, and New York.
No less surprising that 72% of the buttons contained in office buildings are fake buttons. Among them are the AC button, the button to close the elevator door and various other buttons. The Placebo button here has a function for people who use it to feel they have control even when it is not. This will calm the person from aggressiveness because he feels he has done something.
