后悔的一致性模型:理论和证据

重新检验Ｇｉｌｏｖｉｃｈ和Ｍｅｄｖｅｃ的后悔时间性模型。该模型认为，与假设思维有关的短期后悔的研究结果相反，人们日常生活中最大的后悔（长期后悔）多是“不做”而不是“做”的后悔。该文认为这一理论上的矛盾来自于双方对“做／不做”概念以及“做－不做”规律适用范围的不同理解。该研究使用这一新的分类方法，发现和短期后悔一样，至少一半的长期后悔来自于“状态改变”的后悔。这此基础上提出后悔的一致性模型，认为长期

CONSISTENT MODEL OF REGRET: THEORY AND SUPPORT

This paper reexmined Gilovich and Medvec's temporal pattern to the experienceof regret(1994)which argued, as opposed to what research on counterfactual thinkingshowed, that people's biggest regrets in real life involve more inaction instead ofaction. It was found that the theoretical contradiction arose from the difference betweenGilovich and Medvec's interpretation of action/inaction and the original assumptions.Using a new typology, the author found that like short--term regrets, at least half ofthe long--term regrets stem from changes of state (actions), and proposed consistentmodel of regret on the basis of his support, arguing that like short--term regret, longterm regret obeys the "change of state--status quo" pattern.
