abstract="This study examined the role of activity level and cognition on mood by contrasting a monitor only (N = 22), increase pleasant events (N = 20), and increase pleasant events plus focusing on event pleasantness (N = 23) groups over a 2-week period. The results show that subjects who were instructed to increase their number of pleasant events did so and obtained more pleasure as a result. The group which increased pleasant events and focused on event pleasantness also showed a significant decrease in level of depression. The results are interpreted to support the role of monitoring and pleasant events on mood, but the potential necessity for cognitive change to create &quot;antidepressant&quot; effects.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
