Abstract

The present study investigated the mechanisms by which reward sensitivity may predict anhedonic depression. Specifically, we hypothesized that this association would be mediated by positive daily life events and moderated by individuals’ responses to positive affect. Participants included 227 undergraduate students who completed a set of self-report questionnaires on reward sensitivity, positive daily life events, responses to positive affect(positive rumination and dampening) and anhedonic depression. The data were analyzed by a moderated mediation model using SPSS Macro. The results were as follows: first, positive daily life events partially mediated the relationship between reward sensitivity and anhedonic depression. Second, positive rumination, a type of response to positive affect, moderated the association between positive daily life events and anhedonic depression. However, dampening, the other type of response to positive affect, did not demonstrate any significant moderation effects. Third, the moderated mediating effect of positive rumination on the relationship between reward sensitivity, positive daily life events, and anhedonic depression was also supported. Theoretical and practical implications as well as the limitations of the study are discussed.
