This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a two-week smartphone-based training program designed to help people who struggle to feel pleasure or enjoyment—a condition called anhedonia. The program, called an ecological momentary intervention, delivers short exercises directly to your phone to help you practice noticing, savoring, and appreciating positive moments in your daily life. The researchers believe that strengthening these reward-related skills may help reduce anhedonia and improve mood, even when other standard treatments have not fully worked.
People with anhedonia often find that traditional therapy helps reduce sadness and anxiety, but doesn't do enough to help them feel pleasure again or get motivated to do enjoyable things. This trial exists because we need better, more accessible treatments that directly target the ability to experience and learn from positive experiences.

You would use a smartphone app called m-Path for two weeks to complete brief training exercises and answer short questions about your mood and experiences. The study assigns participants to either a reward-focused training group or a relaxation training group, and you'll practice your assigned exercises multiple times throughout each day. The entire study lasts about two weeks, with most of your participation happening on your own phone at times that fit your schedule.
