Abstract:
|
Past research has established a connection between regret (negative emotions
connected to cognitions about how past actions might have achieved better outcomes)
and
both
depression
and
anxiety.
in the present research, the relations
between regret, repetitive thought, depression, and anxiety were examined in
a nationally representative telephone survey. although both regret and repetitive
thought were associated with general distress, only regret was associated
with anhedonic depression and anxious arousal. Further, the interaction between
regret and repetitive thought (i.e., repetitive regret) was highly predictive of general
distress
but
not
of
anhedonic
depression
nor
anxious
arousal.
these
relations
were
strikingly
consistent
across
demographic
variables
such
as
sex,
race/ethnicity,
age, education, and income. |
