People ages 18-35 who have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder are needed for a research study that lasts one to two hours and looks at how decision making is affected by mood symptoms. Participants will do a variety of skilled tasks testing their decision making and their willingness to exert effort by squeezing a hand grip dynamometer and then performing the tasks to earn monetary rewards. Compensation is $15, with the chance to earn up to $70.
