This article is about the New
Thought principle. For the scientific and historical laws, see Laws of
attraction. For the film, see Laws of Attraction.
The law of attraction is essentially a belief or theory, that "like attracts
like," and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can
bring about positive or negative results.
A very well
known and well documented example of the law of attraction is the placebo
effect, most of which occur in medication trials. Even the most carefully
designed double-blinded study almost always yield very measurable placebo
improvement; patients who believed they would be affected positively by the medications
fared better than those who did not, even when given an inert tablet (often a
sugar pill).
Less commonly
known, though still very valid, is the nocebo effect, which is the term given
to side effects and other negative consequences of medications that manifest
out of a placebo effect (i.e., a negative effect due to a negative image or
fear of the medication). Like the placebo effect, the results that contain this
type of data are indeed real, and prove very valuable in the study of human
psychology.
