“…Self-report measures of anhedonia in schizophrenia therefore tend to assess anhedonia in general, as a relatively stable trait, instead of specific aspects of hedonic function or changes over time (Rizvi et al, 2016). Results from a longitudinal cohort study using such measures show that social anhedonia is episodic and is related to symptom severity in depression, but is an enduring and stable trait over the course of illness in psychosis (Blanchard et al, 2001). Further, social anhedonia in non-disordered young adults is associated with elevated risk of developing schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (Kwapil, 1998).…”

Anhedonia is a lack or loss of pleasure in daily life and is common across many mental health disorders (i.e., transdiagnostic). This is the first systematic review to investigate: 1) How is anhedonia conceptualized and explicitly measured using experience sampling methodology (ESM) in psychiatry and mental health?; 2) What is the experience of anhedonia in daily life at the between-person level and at the within-person level?; and 3) What is the quality of reporting in ESM studies assessing anhedonia in daily life? We searched PsychARTICLES, MEDLINE, Psychology Databases, EMBASE, Web of Science Core Collection, and Europe PMC (last search 6th May 2024). We identified 102 unique articles that satisfied inclusion criteria (i.e., assessed anhedonia via ESM). Anhedonia was typically conceptualized in terms of diminished pleasure, enjoyment, or liking, with emphasis on consummatory rather than anticipatory experiences. Measurement was heterogeneous and approaches differed across mental health research traditions. Anticipatory and consummatory anhedonia were present in samples that experienced mental health symptoms or diagnoses (between-person) and varied across different daily contexts and across time (within-person). Compliance with a composite reporting quality assessment tool for ESM studies was generally low. Results suggest that there is benefit in exploring anhedonia in daily life from a transdiagnostic perspective to identify whether different components of anhedonia relate to one another in a similar way across disorders. Future research would benefit from standardized and validated ESM items of anhedonia, exploration of moment-to-moment changes over shorter time-scales, and increased transparency in methodological reporting.

“…Humans typically maintain social relationships willingly and act in a way that will instill a sense of belonging ( Baumeister and Leary, 1995 , DeWall et al, 2011 ). However, people with social anhedonia have reduced pleasure in social interactions, substandard social functioning, and often withdraw from social interactions ( Kwapil, 1998 , Blanchard et al, 2001 , Germine et al, 2011 ). The diminished social interest is accompanied by a decreased positive outlook on all features of interpersonal relationships ( Martin et al, 2016 , Olino et al, 2016 ).…”

“…The diminished social interest is accompanied by a decreased positive outlook on all features of interpersonal relationships ( Martin et al, 2016 , Olino et al, 2016 ). Social anhedonia is most notably recognized as a symptom of schizophrenia ( Kwapil, 1998 ) and autism ( Chevallier et al, 2012 ), but is also associated with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) ( Pelizza and Ferrari, 2009 , Rey et al, 2009 , Healey et al, 2014 ) – it has been shown that approximately one third of patients with MDD show significant levels of anhedonia ( Pelizza and Ferrari, 2009 ), and social anhedonia is reported to diminish with treatment and recovery from depression ( Blanchard et al, 2001 ).…”

“…In light of the preclinical studies, it also will be helpful to analyze the structural connectivity from the OFC. Additionally, since social anhedonia diminishes with depression recovery whereas a lack of social anhedonia recovery inhibits treatment response, changes in the biology of the OFC may be associated with depression improvement from antidepressants ( Blanchard et al, 2001 , Hasler et al, 2004 , Gorwood, 2008 ).…”

“…Limited research exists on POS among individuals with mental disorders, particularly SSD. Some studies indicate that individuals with SSD may struggle to experience positive emotions, potentially due to negative symptoms ( Blanchard et al, 2001 ; Gard et al, 2007 ; Kring & Caponigro, 2010 ).…”

Background: Positivity (POS) indicates the proclivity to see life and experiences in a positive light. There is limited research on its effects on individuals with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD). Very little is known about the relationship between POS and daily activities in people with SSD. Aim: The study aims to compare the POS rated by patients with SSD with those obtained in an Italian normative sample matched by age and sex and to use the Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to investigate the association between POS and daily time use (i.e. productive activities, leisure activities), functioning and mood in individuals with SSD. Method: 620 SSD patients were recruited from mental health services in Italy as part of the DiAPAson project. POS, symptom severity, functioning, and quality of life (QoL) were assessed. POS scores were compared to a normative sample of 5,002 Italian citizens. Additionally, a subset of 102 patients underwent 7-day assessments using mobile EMA. Results: People with SSD did not significantly differ from the Italian normative sample in POS levels (0.035, p = .190). POS showed a significant inverse association with support network (−0.586, p = .036) and symptomatology (BPRS −0.101; 95% p < .001; BNSS B = −0.113, p < .001). A significant direct association was found between POS and QoL ( B = 0.310, p < .001) and functioning ( B = 0.058, p < .001). In the subsample using EMA, POS ratings showed significant associations with Positive Emotions ( B = 0.167, p < .001) and Negative Emotions ( B = −0.201, p < .001). Conclusion: People with SSD exhibited comparable levels of POS to the normative sample. Higher POS was linked to better functioning, QoL, fewer severe symptoms, and increased positive emotions. However, it did not relate to increased productivity or engagement in leisure activities. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between POS and time use in individuals with SSD.
