Resumo(s)
Sometimes decisions imply trade-offs that force people to accept missing an opportunity in
the past or in the future. It has not yet been clarified whether a past miss or a future miss
elicits more regret. In a direct comparison, Shani, Danziger, and Zeelenberg found support
for the greater impact of future misses. In an experimental design with 216 students, we
replicated their study and tested the strength of the future miss in a separate evaluation and
with different periods. The results show that future misses cause less regret than past
misses do when evaluated separately. However, future misses made participants change
their feelings of regret more than past misses did. Feelings of regret did not decrease when
future misses were further away. Our findings support the strength of future misses on
regret but also show contrasting effects when evaluated separately. This indicates the
further need for research in this topic.
