    "abstract": "Individuals with elevated symptoms of depression exhibit deficits in decision-making. Depressed individuals show\ndecreased sensitivity to rewards, but increased sensitivity to punishments. This may be critical to understanding depressionrelated\ndecision-making deficits, yet the computational nature of these effects is poorly understood. Participants (N=161)\ncompleted a decision-making task wherein they chose between two options on each of 150 trials. Rewards for both options\nwere drawn from skewed-normal distributions with mean reward values of 0 points. For one option the reward distribution\nwas positively skewed—more frequently giving losses than gains. For the other option the reward distribution was negatively\nskewed—more frequently giving gains than losses. Preference for the negatively-skewed option increased linearly as a function\nof the degree of depressive symptoms. Modeling analyses indicate that depressive symptoms are associated with less effective\nprocessing of reward magnitude and greater reliance on reward valence (gains vs. losses) in decision-making.",
