“…Details of 12 PPI studies that use a discrete emotion outcome measure are shown in Table 1. Note that three of the studies are listed twice in this section (Basset, Cohn et al, 2019; Cohn et al, 2014; Moskowitz et al, 2017) because they included multiple retrospective time frames for reporting emotion—assessing both past day emotion and past week emotion.…”

Accumulating evidence for the unique social, behavioral, and physical health benefits of positive emotion and related well-being constructs has led to the development and testing of positive psychological interventions (PPIs) to increase emotional well-being and enhance health promotion and disease prevention. PPIs are specifically aimed at improving emotional well-being and consist of practices such as gratitude, savoring, and acts of kindness. The purpose of this narrative review was to examine the literature on PPIs with a particular focus on positive emotion outcomes. We evaluated the evidence on the effects of PPIs on positive emotion specifically, and discussed the range of evidence regarding the relative responsiveness of emotion measures to PPIs in order to gain a better understanding of the specific emotional pathways through which PPIs influence psychological and physical well-being. We conclude with recommendations for best evaluating effects of PPIs on positive emotion outcomes.

“…In addition, only one [38] out of 14 identified pilot or feasibility studies used an a priori cut-off to determine whether the intervention was considered acceptable [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. This apparent lack of cut-offs notwithstanding, 14/14 of the identified pilot or feasibility studies concluded that the intervention was moderately to highly acceptable.…”

Acceptability is a core concept in digital health. Available frameworks have not clearly articulated why and how researchers, practitioners and policy makers may wish to study the concept of acceptability. Here, we aim to discuss (i) the ways in which acceptability might differ from closely related concepts, including user engagement; (ii) the utility of the concept of acceptability in digital health research and practice; (iii) social and cultural norms that influence acceptability; and (iv) pragmatic means of measuring acceptability, within and beyond the research process. Our intention is not to offer solutions to these open questions but to initiate a debate within the digital health community. We conducted a narrative review of theoretical and empirical examples from the literature. First, we argue that acceptability may usefully be considered an emergent property of a complex, adaptive system of interacting components (e.g., affective attitude, beliefs), which in turn influences (and is influenced by) user engagement. Second, acceptability is important due to its ability to predict and explain key outcomes of interest, including user engagement and intervention effectiveness. Third, precisely what people find acceptable is deeply contextualized and interlinked with prevailing social and cultural norms. Understanding and designing for such norms (e.g., through drawing on principles of user centered design) is therefore key. Finally, there is a lack of standard acceptability measures and thresholds. Star ratings coupled with free-text responses may provide a pragmatic means of capturing acceptability. Acceptability is a multifaceted concept, which may usefully be studied with a complexity science lens.

“…27 The intervention has demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy in pilot tests and randomized controlled trials among multiple clinical samples, including people with depression and PLWH. [7][8][9]27 Specifically, randomized controlled trials conducted among PLWH have found that participants in the in-person version of ORCHID reported higher levels of past day positive effect, were less likely to use antidepressants, and were more likely to be virally suppressed. 8,9 A pilot of the online self-guided version of ORCHID showed increased positive emotions and decreased depressive mood in PLWH.…”
