“…It is important to note that though low PA and anhedonia are empirically related with one another (rs = .20-.43;Cook, Spring, & McChargue, 2007;Franken, Rassin, & Muris, 2007;Leventhal, Waters, Kahler, Ray, & Sussman, 2009), they are not identical constructs. Indeed, it is possible for individuals to experience temporary states of low PA, but nonetheless be able to experience pleasure upon encountering a rewarding stimulus.…”

“…The possible range of scores was from 0 to 42, consistent with prior studies in which the SHAPS was used as a continuous measure. 13,14 To classify participants as hedonic or anhedonic at baseline, we followed the scoring method devised by Snaith et al 12 Each item response was recoded as hedonic (agree or definitely agree = 0) or anhedonic (disagree or definitely disagree = 1). For this dichotomous measure, scores ranged from 0 to 14.…”

Introduction: Anhedonia has been recognized as a major risk factor for smoking persistence. Potential gender differences in the effect of anhedonia on smoking cessation have not been studied. Using data from a completed clinical trial of maintenance nicotine patch therapy, we hypothesized that gender would moderate the effect of anhedonia on short-term abstinence, such that anhedonic women would be less likely to achieve abstinence. Methods: Participants (N = 525; 50% female, 48.2% Black/African American, average age: 46 years) received 21 mg/day nicotine patch and four brief behavior counseling sessions over 8 weeks. Participants were classified at baseline using the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale as anhedonic (scores > 2) or hedonic (scores ≤ 2). Bioverified 7-day point prevalence abstinence was measured at week 8. Using logistic regression analysis, we tested the interaction of anhedonia by gender predicting abstinence, adjusting for age, race, nicotine dependence, and baseline depressive symptomatology. Results: Seventy participants (13%) were classified as anhedonic. Men were more likely to be anhedonic than women (16.6% vs. 10.2%, p = .03). Contrary to our hypothesis, the interaction of anhedonic status (hedonic vs. anhedonic) by gender was nonsignificant (p = .18). There was a main effect of hedonic capacity, such that anhedonia predicted abstinence, odds ratio = 3.24, 95% confidence interval = 1.39-7.51, p = .006. Conclusion: Both male and female anhedonic smokers were more likely to be abstinent, which contrasts with prior research indicating that anhedonia is a risk factor for difficulty quitting. This unexpected finding may be explained by a possible selective benefit of nicotine patch therapy, which has been observed in some studies to have antidepressant effects. Implications: This is the first study to examine whether the association between pretreatment anhedonia and smoking cessation differs by gender. For both women and men, anhedonia was associated with a greater likelihood of abstinence after 8 weeks of treatment with 21 mg/day nicotine patch and behavior counseling. Our findings indicate that the association between anhedonia and smoking cessation is not as clear as has been assumed and may depend in part on the type of treatment delivered.

“…Interestingly, past studies have indicated that anhedonia measured in clinical populations can manifest itself as either an enduring personality trait 2,3 or as a transient clinical state, such as during MDD. 2 Reduced hedonic capacity may also be present in non-clinical populations [4][5][6][7][8] and, as such, can be referred to as trait anhedonia. The importance of anhedonia in psychopathology has recently been stressed by researchers who demonstrated that this symptom, together with increased stress reactivity, is an important candidate for psychopathological endophenotype of MDD.…”

Individual differences in trait anhedonia: a structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging study in non-clinical subjects

Anhedonia, the reduced capacity to gain pleasure from pleasurable experiences, is a key symptom of major depression and schizophrenia. Reduced hedonic capacity can also be measured as an enduring trait in non-clinical subjects. Such altered hedonic capacity is likely the result of a basic neuropsychophysiological dysfunction and a vulnerability marker that potentially precedes and contributes to the liability of developing psychiatric disorders. The characterization of the structural and functional neural correlates of trait anhedonia in nonclinical individuals may provide new insights for the early detection of such psychiatric diseases. Twenty-nine non-clinical subjects were scanned at the Montreal Neurological Institute. Trait anhedonia was measured using the Chapman Revised Physical Anhedonia Scale. Semi-automated and automated structural MRI segmentation techniques were used to explore structural correlates of trait anhedonia. Seventeen of the 29 subjects also underwent a functional imaging task where responses to the viewing of affective stimuli were examined to identify the functional correlates of trait anhedonia. Trait anhedonia was inversely related to anterior caudate volume, but positively related to ventromedial prefrontal cortex activity during the processing of positive information. These findings may reflect a specific kind of vulnerability for the development of psychiatric affective disorders and suggest that trait anhedonia may be linked to a volumetric reduction in the basal ganglia and to a prefrontal functional abnormality during hedonic processing.
