Prof- “So what are your views on the differences in cultural techniques and their success rates?”

Friend-“This is like how placebo effects may increase the success rate of intervention”

Me- “I think its similar to how Klassen shows that the user’s view of how successful they can utilize an intervention (i.e. their self efficacy) can be just as important in its effectiveness as the strategy content itself”

Prof- “Yes placebo effects are noted. But we must remember that we are an evidence based practice. Good note on Klassen’s work”*

WIN!
