Future Self

Research on "future self" focuses on strengthening the perceived connection between one's present and future selves, aiming to improve mental well-being and prosocial behaviors. Current studies utilize AI-powered conversational agents, generating personalized future self representations based on user data and employing techniques to create realistic and relatable interactions. These interventions show promise in reducing anxiety and enhancing feelings of continuity with one's future self, suggesting potential for novel therapeutic applications in mental health.
