Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Rose, a psychologist and professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern University, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable regret. Participants were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed.The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance(浪漫的事)(18% ) —lost loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16% ), with people still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently reported regrets involved career (13% ), education (12% ) , money(10% ) and parenting(9% ).Rose and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological and Personality Science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person's “life circumstances accomplishments, shortcomings, situation in life—inject considerable fuel into the fires of regret,” the authors write.People with less education,
