A feeling of control over our actions and their consequences forms a fundamental aspect of human consciousness and is foundational to the human experience. Yet this sense of agency is not impervious to distortion. Indeed, aberrations in sense of agency have been observed amongst a number neurological and psychiatric conditions including Schizophrenia, OCD and autism (Blakemore et al., 2000; Graham-Schmidt et al., 2018 Moore, 2018). However, whether such differences in sense of agency exist amongst those with depression is yet to be empirically explored. As depression has long been characterised by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness over the outcomes in one's life (Peterson & Seligman, 1984; Seligman, 1989), there is a strong theoretical rationale to investigate sense of agency within this population. The current research project will therefore pursue this line of research to understand whether depressive symptomatology, both at a clinical level and across the healthy continuum is associated with differences in sense of agency.

对我们的行为及其后果的控制感形成了人类意识的一个基本方面，是人类经验的基础。然而，这种能动性并非不受扭曲的影响。事实上，在许多神经和精神病症中已经观察到能动性感觉的畸变，包括精神分裂症、OCD和自闭症（Blakemore et al.，2000; Graham-Schmidt等人，摩尔，2018）。然而，这种差异是否存在于抑郁症患者之间的代理感还有待实证研究。由于抑郁症长期以来一直以无助感和对生活结果的绝望感为特征（Peterson & Seligman，1984; Seligman，1989），因此有一个强有力的理论基础来调查这一人群中的代理感。因此，目前的研究项目将继续进行这一系列的研究，以了解抑郁症的临床水平和整个健康连续体是否与代理感的差异有关。
