Here, we have adapted a brief imagery-based intervention (IMAGINE), which has shown promising results in reducing symptoms of depression in young people, to focus specifically on reducing symptoms of anhedonia (IMAGINE-Positive). We augment positive mental imagery generation with techniques to upregulate positive affect. Eight participants completed the four-session intervention. Data on feasibility and acceptability were collected. Questionnaires of symptomology and cognitive mechanisms (e.g. depression, anhedonia and future imagery vividness) were administered at pre-intervention, post-intervention and 3-month follow-up. The intervention was feasible to deliver and acceptable to participants. There was a large reduction in depression symptom scores from pre- to post-intervention (<i>d</i> = 1.12) and 63% of participants showed reliable improvement (RI), which was maintained at follow-up (<i>d</i> = 2.51, RI = 86%). Although there were only small reductions in anhedonia from pre to post (<i>d</i> = 0.38, RI = 0), there was a large reduction from pre to follow-up (<i>d</i> = 1.28, RI = 29%).

A total of 362 adults participated in Study 1 and 236 adults in Study 2. They completed measurements of HA, LCS, and ER. In Study 2, participants were induced into an anxious mood state and filled out a scale measuring ER in that process.

In 67 participants, we measured the relative magnitude of attentional bias to threat cues signalling more versus less controllable dangers (i.e. alignment). Next, they underwent a speech-related worry induction task in which we assessed worry when the outcome of this task could be controlled (productive worry) and when such control was not possible (unproductive worry).
