(B) how people’s behavior can change because of their expectations rather than the treatments they receive.

The placebo effect refers to the phenomenon where individuals experience changes in their condition or behavior due to their belief in the effectiveness of a treatment, even if the treatment itself has no therapeutic effect. This underscores the importance of psychological and cognitive factors in influencing health outcomes.
