Potential participants will first be invited to complete a loneliness questionnaire online Lonely adults will then be invited to our laboratory to undergo further screening At baseline prior to the intervention training sessions participants will first complete tests and questionnaires on loneliness mood and depressive symptoms in addition to other socio-affective measures and they will also receive resting-state functional MRI scanning in a 3T MRI scanner Participants will then be allocated to one of the two intervention arms the evaluative conditioning and the control in a randomized fashion with approximately half in each group They will then complete the pre-conditioning phase of the allocated intervention arm at the laboratory Based on their ratings on the stimuli presented during this phase stimuli will be selected for the conditioning phase In the conditioning phase they will be invited to attend 6 sessions After completing the conditioning phase participants will be invited to complete the post- conditioning phase at our laboratory providing ratings on the stimuli like the pre-conditioning phase Immediately after and also 3-months after participants will be invited to complete again tests and questionnaires at laboratory on loneliness mood and depressive symptoms in addition to other socio-affective measures and they will also receive resting-state functional MRI scanning in a 3T MRI scanner
