Summary: Anhedonia is a core symptom of depression that predicts worse treatment outcomes. Dysfunction in neural reward circuits is thought to contribute to anhedonia. This study examined whether laboratory-based assessments of anhedonia and reward-related neural function were associated with adolescents' subjective affective experiences in daily life, and found that there was a relationship between them.

Summary: This study conducted a microanalysis on the association between mood and self-reported functionality in stroke patients using ecological momentary assessments. The results showed that mood and self-reported functionality were significantly associated at the same point in time, and patients' mood could predict their self-reported functionality at the next assessment point.

Summary: This study examined compliance and affective yield in ecological momentary assessment (EMA), finding that factors such as depression history, time-of-day, study duration, and social context can affect compliance and affective yield. Researchers and clinicians using EMA should take these factors into consideration.

Summary: Research examines the impact of daily friend encounters on emotional well-being in relation to race and age. The study finds that the frequency of friend encounters and the link between friend encounters and emotional well-being vary by race and age. The findings highlight the importance of everyday contact with friends for enhancing momentary emotional well-being, particularly among White individuals and younger Black adults.

Summary: The study aimed to understand how momentary factors within the home and family environment influence parents' use of food parenting practices. Data collected from 109 parents of preschool aged children over a ten-day period showed that parent stress, parent and child low mood, and child negative behaviors early in the day were associated with the use of less supportive food parenting practices later that same day.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of different coping styles on situational coping in everyday life situations and gender differences. The results showed that positive thinking and active stress coping had significant positive impacts on situational coping for all participants. For women, social support had a significant positive effect on situational coping, while for men, active stress coping had a significant positive effect on situational coping.

Summary: The widespread use of smartphones has opened up new opportunities for capturing social, behavioral, and cognitive phenotypes outside of traditional research settings. Digital phenotyping, based on existing personal devices, poses challenges and opportunities in data collection and analysis that impact the types of questions that can be answered in scientific, clinical, and public health contexts. This field combines cutting-edge technologies with mathematical and statistical questions in order to improve our understanding of human behavior in an objective, scalable, and reproducible way.

Summary: This study used a smartphone-based design to evaluate the influence of mood on judgment. The results showed that mood did not have a significant effect on individuals' judgments. Prior task performance and task trial were significant predictors of self-efficacy; sex and task trial were associated with face emotion recognition; and balloons popped the day prior, and task trial influenced individuals' evaluation of risk.

Summary: Loss of smell and taste sensitivity, regardless of COVID-19 infection, is associated with anhedonia symptoms. This study found that lower levels of heart rate variability and reduced sensitivity to smell and taste were related to impaired reward responsiveness and the ability to shape future behavioral choices.

Summary: The association between anxious mood and aberrant fear learning mechanisms is explored in this study. The results indicate that conditioned electrodermal reactivity and overgeneralisation to safe stimuli are linked to heightened anxious reactivity during non-stressful moments in daily life.

Summary: This study found that both anhedonia and craving are common among patients with opioid use disorder, and the intensity of anhedonic symptoms can influence the association between prefrontal cortex response to positive social stimuli and craving, thereby increasing the risk of relapse.

Summary: This study aims to identify subgroups of people with anhedonia using multiple reward-related measures in order to develop treatments and gain a better understanding of the Positive Valence Systems Domain. Two subgroups were identified, with one subgroup reporting higher severity of anhedonia and the other subgroup showing better response to treatment.

Summary: The study found that positive outcome expectancies do not directly predict gambling behavior, but are moderated by factors such as craving and positive emotional state. The moderation analysis predicting gambling episodes revealed complex interactions between different factors. The findings suggest that tailored real-time interventions addressing gambling outcome expectancies are necessary for vulnerable gamblers.

Summary: Recent research in Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) has shown that individuals with mood disorders tend to experience lower levels of positive affect (PA) in daily life, along with higher variability in PA. Despite this, there is a puzzling 'mood brightening' effect observed in individuals with mood disorder symptoms in response to positive events, suggesting an hyper responsiveness to real-life rewards. Studies also indicate that high-arousal PA and anticipatory PA could be potential targets for intervention in addressing anhedonia. Despite the promises of greater therapeutic effectiveness with PA-focused EMA interventions, these promises have not yet been realized.

Summary: Despite the increasing availability of Open Science infrastructure and policies, OS practices are not yet widespread, with most researchers still sticking to traditional methods. Open Science Communities (OSCs) are playing a crucial role in promoting OS practices, bridging communication gaps among scholars and policymakers, but their long-term viability and effectiveness rely on support from universities.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted developmental researchers to switch to online and digital monitoring of infant development using methods like the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). ESM is effective for assessing dynamic processes of infant development and family dynamics and tracking fluctuations in family dynamics and routines. Proper planning and design considerations, along with examples of analysis techniques, are crucial for running a successful ESM study.

Summary: Refugee parents who experience postmigration stress may have less confidence in their parenting skills, making it difficult to give their adolescent children the autonomy they need. This study examined whether postmigration stress affects parental autonomy support through compromised feelings of self-efficacy. Results showed that when parents experienced more postmigration stress, they granted less autonomy to their children, partly due to feeling less efficacious. The findings highlight the impact of postmigration stress on parenting practices in refugee families, independent of war-trauma symptoms.

Summary: Engagement in activities increases positive affect, which reinforces motivation and future engagement in activities. The strong connections between these reward paths may be disturbed in depression. Despite previous research, little is known about the association between reward loop strength and depressive symptom course.

Summary: This study differentiated normative developmental turmoil from prodromal depressive symptoms in adolescents by assessing negative and positive mood in different contexts. Three mood profiles were identified, with 27-38% of adolescents at-risk and some scoring above the clinical cut-off for depression. These mood profiles predicted later depressive symptoms.

Summary: The traditional approaches to measuring depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI) have limitations. This study adopted a symptom-oriented approach and found that post-TBI depression is highly heterogeneous. Different depressive symptoms have distinct associations with personal, injury-related, treatment, and outcome factors.

The results showed that FA was significantly associated with PTSS and functional impairment. Baseline FA partially mediated the relationship between baseline PTSS and functional impairment. Changes in FA from pre- to post-treatment were associated with relevant outcome variables at post-treatment and 12-month follow-up.
