Isn’t this just the argument that it’s a social contagion?
And indeed, if you can be convinced those are the solutions to your problems, surely you can be convinced you have problems in the first place as well?
- pixl97 3y agoI wouldn't use the word just. Instead think of social contagion as an additive/multiplicative factor that we don't know the value of. So imagine a world where we're not allowed to talk about or problems. In that world you'll have your base measured rate X. Then you add a new stressor and get your increase over X. In a model with social contagion you still have X, you still have your increase in your stressors, then you have the confounding factor of the social contagion.
