Regret and the control of temporary preferences
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 28 (5):653-654 (2005)
| Abstract | Regret is often symptomatic of the defective decisions associated with “temporary preference” problems. It may also help overcome these defects. Outcome regret can modify the relative utilities of different payoffs. Process regret can motivate search for better decision processes or trap-evading strategies. Heightened regret may thus be functional for control of these self-defeating choices. | |||||||||
