Abstract
We evaluated whether loneliness would moderate the relationship between perceived stress and anhedonia (N=369). Results suggested a strong, positive relationship between perceived stress and anhedonia at high levels of loneliness, and a strong, albeit weaker, relationship at lower levels. Thus, targeting loneliness may decrease anhedonia in the face of stress.
