Regret and its regulation

请选择邀稿期刊:
Abstract: Regret arises when individuals recognize that alternative choices could have yielded more favorable outcomes. Prolonged engagement with regret not only undermines psychological well-being but also biases subsequent decision-making. As such, regret and its regulation have become prominent topics of empirical investigation. In experimental settings, researchers commonly employ behavioral paradigms to elicit regret, using decision patterns and subjective reports to inform cognitive models, and measures of neural activity and functional connectivity to elucidate underlying neural mechanisms. Converging evidence indicates that both cognitive strategies (e.g., cognitive reappraisal, attentional deployment, anticipation before decision-making) and neuromodulation techniques (e.g., transcranial direct current stimulation [tDCS], transcranial magnetic stimulation [TMS]) are effective in attenuating regret. Future research could profitably examine the assessment and regulation of regret in real-world contexts and explore the neural oscillatory dynamics that support its regulation. A more precise understanding of the neurobiological substrates of regret could enable the development of personalized neuromodulation interventions, with implications for enhancing mental health and reducing decision-making biases.
