About This Depression Study in Austin

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two related, but different ABM (Attention Biased Modification) treatments for depression in adults with elevated symptoms of depression. The main aims are: * Aim 1:examine whether gamified ABM leads to greater change in the primary and secondary outcomes than sham ABM * Aim 1: establish that gamified ABM is at least as effective as traditional ABM. * Aim 2: identify moderators of ABM efficacy and mechanisms responsible for its efficacy. * Aim 3: Identify the durability of ABM on depression symptoms during short-term follow-up Participants will complete self-report questionnaires, complete eye-tracking tasks, and be clinically assessed through interviews by clinician researchers. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare sham, traditional, and gamified treatment groups to see if they moderate symptoms of depression.
