Citations to studies done personally would be enough. As-is, I have no reason to believe this article at all.
I think it would be better if the article said, "I've done a bunch of work with depressed people and here's a technique that seems to work. Now I want to test it. Email me if you would like to volunteer for a study that will take about five minutes per day for two weeks."
I would sign up for that study.
Yes, good idea. We could treat this as a prediction, and try to actually test it.
I would also volunteer for such a study. (Un?)Fortunately, I doubt I'd make a valid sample, considering my recent lack of depressive states.
