  1. Dependent variable is PA recovery difference score (PA t + 1 - PA) provided that a Psychological Reward has not been reported on t + 1 (again); PA = the average of feeling relaxed, happy, and euphoric; Time = the number of minutes between t-1 and t; Reward = Psychological Reward, asked as ‘Did you experience a positive event since the last assessment?’ with possible answers Yes (1) or no (0); Anhedonia = participant in control group (0) or group of participants with MDD and anhedonia (1)?; PA reactivity = person-mean centered PA reactivity difference score (i.e., PA - PA t-1). To maintain a familywise error rate of .05 over all analyses of PA recovery (see Additional file 1), a Bonferroni-correction of a’ = 1-(1-a)1VeffLi was be applied with VeffLi being the ‘effective number’ of independent tests corrected for the correlation amongst the different predictors. Using the approach proposed by Li & Ji [39], we calculated that a p < .01 is required to keep Type I Error Rate at 5% accordingly (for the full calculations, please see the Additional file 1 or Rmarkdown file of the Additional file 1 on Open Science Framework: https://osf.io/8gxrw/)
