They surveyed 370 adults who were asked to discuss one strong regret in detail,either an action or inaction regret,and to say how long the pain lasted afterwards.The most common regrets concerned love,education and work.
Romantic regrets proved particularly painful,with many of those interviewed thinking about lost chances for potential romances,or relationships that hadn’t worked out.The results,published in the journal SAGE,revealed that while action regrets were very painful,they didn’t last as long as inaction regrets.
However,the authors also claim that regrets—particularly inaction ones—can encourage future success by driving us to take chances and make sure we don’t suffer the same feeling of missing out again.
Professor Mike Morrison of the University of Illinois,one of the authors of the study,says,“Regret can be painful,but it can also be useful.Some people say they try to live without regret,and I think that’s being unfair to the human condition.”
About the findings of the study,Dr.Morrison adds,“Women,who tend to value social relationships more than men,have more regrets that concern love.Conversely,men are more likely to have work-related regrets.Those who lack either higher education or a romantic relationship hold the strongest regrets in precisely these areas.”
