The Behavioral Activation Scale is a measure which assesses participant current levels of behavioral activation in the context of current depression. Participants respond to twenty-five items, rated on a 7-point Likert scale (0 - Not at all to 6 - Completely) to indicate their activation levels during the past week. Higher scores on the measure indicate greater activation (i.e., higher functioning) and lower scales indicate lower activation. Total possible scores range from 0 to 150.

The Repetitive Thinking Questionnaire- 10 item form is a well-validated measure that assesses trait-like repetitive negative thinking (e.g., worry, cognitive rumination) during times of distress. Participants respond to ten items, rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 - Not true at all to 5 - Very True) to indicate to what extent they agree with each statement. Higher scores on the measure indicate greater trait engagement in repetitive negative thinking. Total possible scores range from 10 to 50.

The Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale is a measure which assesses participant capacity to experience pleasure in the past few days. Participants respond to fourteen items, rated on a 4-point Likert scale (0 - Strongly disagree to 4 - Strongly agree) to indicate their hedonic capacity over the last few days. Higher scores on the measure indicate greater hedonic capacity, or capacity to experience pleasure. Total possible scores range from 0 to 56.

The Behavioral Inhibition and Behavioral Activation Scale- Inhibition subscale is a well-validated measure that assesses for trait-like behavioral inhibition, similar to overcontrol. Participants respond to seven items, rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1 - Very true for me to 4 - Very false for me) to indicate their general behavioral inhibition. Higher scores on the measure indicate higher inhibition. Total possible scores range from 7 to 28.

The Behavioral Inhibition and Behavioral Activation Scale- Activation Drive subscale is a well-validated measure that assesses for trait-like behavioral drive, similar to goal seeking activation.

Higher scores on the measure indicate higher drive/goal seeking. Total possible scores range from 4 to 16.

The Behavioral Inhibition and Behavioral Activation Scale- Activation Fun Seeking subscale is a well-validated measure that assesses for trait-like behavioral fun seeking, similar to excitement seeking and surgency on other measures of activation. Participants respond to four items, rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1 - Very true for me to 4 - Very false for me) to indicate their general levels of fun/excitement seeking. Higher scores on the measure indicate higher fun seeking. Total possible scores range from 4 to 16.

The Behavioral Inhibition and Behavioral Activation Scale- Activation Reward Responsiveness subscale is a well-validated measure that assesses for trait-like behavioral sensitivity to reward. Participants respond to five items, rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1 - Very true for me to 4 - Very false for me) to indicate their general levels of reward sensitivity.

Higher scores indicate greater hedonic capacity. Total possible scores range from 16 to 80.
