摘要本研究调查了3,917名年龄在40岁至85岁之间的德国和荷兰国民的随机概率样本中的频率，主题和归因。结果发现，14%的人在自发记忆中没有任何遗憾，并且随着受访者年龄的增长而增加。关于提到的遗憾，老年人，妇女和那些生活在前东德德国更有可能回忆起外部归因的事件;年轻的参与者，男性，西德人，荷兰人回忆起更多的内部归因的事件。大体上，记忆与4个主要主题有关：（a）错误、行为和一般的错误决定;（B）艰难时期;（c）社会关系;（d）错过的教育机会。然而，这些主题的重要性因年龄、性别和区域归属而异。在归属的种类和主题的中心性的差异进行了讨论的寿命理论，死亡准备，和文化差异。
ABSTRACT The study investigated the frequency, themes, and attributions for significant regrets in a random probability sample of 3,917 German and Dutch nationals between the ages of 40 and 85 years. It was found that 14% did not have any regrets in spontaneous memory, and that this increased with the age of the respondents. With respect to mentioned regrets, older people, women, and those living in the former East Germany were more likely to recall externally attributed events; younger participants, men, West Germans, and the Dutch recalled more internally attributed events. Largely, memories related to 4 major themes: (a) mistakes, behavior, and bad decisions in general; (b) hard times; (c) social relationships; and (d) missed educational opportunities. The importance of these themes, however, varied according to age, gender, and regional belonging. Differences in the kind of attribution and in the centrality of themes are discussed in terms of lifespan theory, death preparation, and cultural differences.
