This online randomized controlled trial will evaluate the immediate psychological effects of a brief human-created animated art film. U.S.-based adults recruited through Prolific will be randomized in Stanford Qualtrics to view a human-created animated art film, view an AI-created comparison video, or to a do-nothing control arm.
