1. Completed data familiarisation and study planning for Studies 1-3 using existing ESM data from a large cohort of young people to form the foundation for ongoing projects on anhedonia (including supervision of master thesis projects).
2. Completed data familiarisation, cleaning, and analysis for Study 4 using existing ESM data from a randomised controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of a novel psychological intervention in early psychosis (including open access registration of hypotheses and analysis plan). Produced reproducible data analysis code and identified within-individual changes in positive emotion dynamics in individuals with early psychosis who received the intervention.
3. Completed first comprehensive systematic review of ESM in anhedonia research (including open access registration of hypotheses and analysis plan). Developed a list of ESM items for anhedonia, identified how anhedonia varies across mental health conditions and daily life contexts, and provided recommendations for future research to enhance methodological rigor in the field.
4. Completed extensive training in ESM, statistics, and open science practices, enhancing researcher capabilities.
5. Completed extensive opportunities for research leadership (including international collaborations), project management, supervision, teaching, grant writing, and knowledge transfer within Belgium, enhancing researcher capabilities and development as an emerging leader in the field. Leadership positions and supervisory responsibilities have led to multiple projects on ESM and treatment evaluation, particularly in the context of clinical implementation research, culminating in open access registrations of study plans and peer-reviewed scientific outputs beyond those specified in the project action.
6. Completed various communication and dissemination activities to share research findings and new expertise learned during the project with scientific and community (e.g. mental health professionals) audiences.
