Differences in the cognitive accessibility of action and inaction regrets

Article Abstract:

The temporal pattern of experienced regret is investigated and insight is provided into the underlying factors leading to differential cognitive accessibility of actions and inactions over time. Increased cognitive accessibility of inactions is found in the long term with no difference in the accessibility of actions and inactions in the short term and support for the depth of impact, breadth of impact, and frequency of thought are found as explanations for this differential accessibility.
