Abstract
We investigated relationships among fear of happiness, hedonic deficits and interference (HDI), and depressive symptoms. Examining data collected over nine months, we found that fear of happiness and HDI were independently positively associated with depressive symptoms. This suggests that fear of happiness and HDI are independent predictors of depressive symptoms.
