Abstract
We examined the role of positivity avoidance and positivity relinquishment in connecting symptoms of anxiety and depression in a pre-registered study using network analysis (N=109). Avoidance and relinquishment were found to be central in their respective pathways, with avoidance having a larger impact on its respective network than relinquishment.
