There is a growing interest in understanding symptoms of psychological distress, such as anhedonia, not just as related to individual psychological disorders, but transdiagnostically. This broader focus allows for the investigation of the effects of symptoms across disorders, or in non-clinical samples. Previous work has linked anhedonia and risk-taking behavior in clinical samples, though the exploration of this relationship in healthy adolescents and early adults is still a relatively new area of research. The current study explored the relationship between variability in anhedonia and risk-taking behavior by breaking each into separable parts (i.e. anhedonia into deficits in anticipatory and consummatory pleasure; risk-taking into risk propensity, sub-optimal risky behavior, and response to punishment). A sample of 81 university students completed two Chapman scales of anhedonia, the Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale (TEPS), and the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART). Hierarchical linear regression analyses were completed to assess the predictive power of each anhedonia measure on each outcome measure on the BART. TEPS score significantly negatively predicted all three outcome measures, with anticipatory pleasure having more predictive power than consummatory pleasure. Physical anhedonia was also a significant predictor of sub-optimal risky behavior and response to punishment. These findings present a broader and more complex view of the associations between anhedonia and risk than have previously been reported, and merit further study to continue to elucidate how they are related to one another.
