这篇文章回顾了表明后悔体验存在时间模式的证据。行为或过失在短期内会产生更多的遗憾，但从长远来看，不作为或不作为的错误会产生更多的后悔。作者认为，这种时间模式是多重决定的，并提出了一个框架，以组织对其负责的不同因果机制。特别是，这篇文章记录了心理过程的重要性，这些过程(A)随着时间的推移减少遗憾行为的痛苦，(B)随着时间的推移支持遗憾不作为的痛苦，以及(C)以不同的方式影响这两种类型的后悔的认知可用性。讨论了人们如何看待后悔的功能和文化根源。
This article reviews evidence indicating that there is a temporal pattern to the experience of regret. Actions, or errors of commission, generate more regret in the short term; but inactions, or errors of omission, produce more regret in the long run. The authors contend that this temporal pattern is multiply determined, and present a framework to organize the divergent causal mechanisms that are responsible for it. In particular, this article documents the importance of psychological processes that (a) decrease the pain of regrettable action over time, (b) bolster the pain of regrettable inaction over time, and (c) differentially affect the cognitive availability of these two types of regrets. Both the functional and cultural origins of how people think about regret are discussed.
