Can a photo a day keep the blues away? college students test smartphone happiness hack

NCT ID NCT07313696

Summary

This study tested whether simple smartphone exercises could help college and graduate students feel better. Researchers had 259 students try different 21-day photo routines—like taking pictures of things that made them happy—to see if it improved their mood and reduced feelings of depression. They compared these 'positive focus' groups to others who took neutral 'day in the life' photos or took no photos at all.
