The Stanford Psychology Department is delighted to welcome you to the Sixteenth Annual Stanford Undergraduate Psychology Conference (SUPC). We take great pride in this conference, started by our undergraduate majors in 2001. We are particularly pleased that the conference has now grown to include outstanding undergraduates from across the nation and around the world. Conferences like the SUPC serve as an important function by allowing young scientists to engage in all facets of the processes involved in creating and disseminating knowledge. The undergraduates who organize and participate in this meeting will each have the opportunity to acquire new scientific skills, both directly and through facilitating the work of other young scientists. This conference will provide an opportunity to present and discuss research findings, to leverage the benefits of diverse perspectives from a community of scholars, and to form networks that will serve as the foundation for future discussions and collaborations. The success of the SUPC every year is due to the extraordinary efforts of the entire staff as well as you, the presenters. Without your continued dedication to the advancement of our understanding of the human condition, the SUPC would not be possible. My colleagues and I welcome you all and wish you a stimulating and productive day. Sincerely, Ian H. Gotlib, Ph.D. David Starr Jordan Professor and Chair 1 STANFORD UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY Jordan Hall, Bldg. 420 Stanford, California 94305-2130 Friday, May 20, 2016 Dear Presenters, Faculty, and Guests, I would like to welcome you to the Sixteenth Annual Stanford Undergraduate Psychology Conference! I look forward to an exciting day as students from across the country and world share, discuss, and present their innovative and fascinating research. Psychology research contributes to our vast understanding of nearly every aspect of the human experience. It has implications that affect how we view ourselves, society, and the world at large. Psychology has and will continue to change individuals, societies, and cultures. None of the change and growth in psychology would be possible without the dedication of researchers. This year’s conference includes incredibly diverse and exceptional research done at the undergraduate level. We are continually impressed with the quality, innovation, and creativity of the research. In addition, this year’s conference theme is “Be Well.” I encourage everyone to take a step back from their busy lives and to reflect on their health and wellness. Without sound body, mind, and spirit, everything else in life becomes mis-aligned, and many of us begin to lose interest in the things that truly are the most beneficial and most meaningul. With that in mind, SUPC has implemented three new ideas in line with our theme. The Wellness Wall is a place for all attendees to share ideas on how to stay well. Our Health Tip Cards serve as quick, daily reminders of important wellness concepts and techniques for daily use. And finally, our Thoughtfulness Box is a safe space for all of you to place an anonymous note getting something off of your chest or sharing an interesting story. We encourage everyone to participate in the fun! We will begin with a banquet dinner and workshops on Friday, May 20 and continue through Saturday, May 21 with presentations and the keynote address. I hope everyone will take the opportunity to converse and network with the presenters, graduate students, and professors in attendance. This conference would not have been possible without the Leadership Board, who worked extremely hard to organize everything from the ground up. Please take a chance to look through their short biographies on the next page and feel free to approach them throughout the conference with questions, comments, and/or friendly conversation. Additionally, I would like to thank Roz Grayson, Office Coordinator and receptionist for the Psychology Department for her continued support and many hours of work to help make the conference happen, Lisa Ewan for her administrative support, Daniel Seymour who prepared visa support letters for international attendees, Dr. Ian Gotlib, who has supported our conference from the very beginning, and last but not least, Dr. George Slavich, who founded the conference and continues to help with it today, offering priceless advice and perspective to the entire team. I hope that you enjoy the conference and all it has to offer. Connect with graduate students, converse with Dr. Alia Crum, this year’s keynote speaker, about her research and incredible contributions to psychology, and share your ideas for future research with extremely intelligent and passionate peers from around the globe. Welcome to Stanford, and thank you for being a part of the SUPC legacy.

    2nd OFFICIAL SIPS CONFERENCE ON PLACEBO STUDIES Program & Abstract book July 7 - 9, 2019 Leiden, the Netherlands Welcome Dear attendee of the 2019 SIPS conference, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd official Society for Interdisciplinary Placebo Studies (SIPS) conference on placebo studies. The conference venue is the beautiful historic Stadsgehoorzaal in Leiden, the Netherlands. This second edition of the SIPS conference promises to be very inspiring. We highly appreciate that so many researchers contributed to the rich and varied conference program and made their way to attend the conference. The SIPS conference is devoted to the interdisciplinary study of placebo effects. It focuses on medical, psychosocial, philosophical, and neurobiological research on placebo and nocebo effects, and also addresses ethical dilemmas and treatment options. The range of topics mirrors the efforts of SIPS to advance research on knowledge of placebo and nocebo effects and to eventually improve clinical care. Next to the keynote speakers and the invited speakers, we are pleased to offer a diverse scientific program due to the many submitted contributions, with different parallel sessions to choose from. We are also very pleased to invite you to the conference dinner which will take place on Monday evening July 8, at beachclub BAIT in Wassenaar. The busses for the dinner will leave at 7 PM from the Stadsgehoorzaal in Leiden and will return to the conference location at 11 PM. We hope that this conference will foster the exchange of new ideas and promote new contacts between researchers on the placebo effect. We wish you an inspirational and fruitful conference, and hope that you will enjoy everything the conference and the beautiful city of Leiden has to offer! Sincerely, On behalf of the SIPS conference and steering committees, Andrea W.M.
