Many Worlds Intervention
Funded by APX, we developed a project to help improve the mental health of undergraduate students using ideas that challenge our view of the world and our place in it. We based the challenge on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, hypothesizing that this challenge may decrease harmful rumination (a core characteristic of both anxiety and depression). Another goal was to see whether a scientific theory can generate a sense of "awe" (a well-defined psychological state).
