System one and system two thinking are systems in the mind that explain different ways people think. System one thinking is quicker and involves less effort of the mind, while system two thinking is slower and involves more effort of the mind. In both these systems, the desire to avoid regret and other negative feelings can be seen in the way decisions are made and the way people think.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Loss_aversion" title="Loss aversion">Loss aversion</a> is a part of regret and regret aversion due to the way people put in the effort to not lose something. It is believed that losing something has a stronger emotional pull than gaining something does. However, this may not always be true. In 2020, a study published by three people in the Department of Psychology at <a href="/wiki/King%27s_College_London" title="King's College London">King's College London</a> researched loss aversion and how it might affect making decisions.

Subsequent rankings included decisions about career, romance, and parenting. Education has been the forerunner of regret in the U.S. per <a href="/wiki/Gallup_survey" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallup survey">Gallup surveys</a> in 1949, 1953, and 1965. Education was the forerunner of regret because it is seen as something where circumstances could be changed: "In contemporary society, education is open to continual modification throughout life. With the rise of community colleges and student aid programs in recent decades, education of some sort is accessible to nearly all socioeconomic groups." This finding can be attributed to the principle of perceived opportunity. People´s biggest regrets are a reflection of where in life they see their largest opportunities; that is, where they see tangible prospects for change, growth, and renewal.<sup id="cite_ref-regretmost_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-regretmost-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In other cultures, regrets may be ranked differently depending on the perceived opportunity in a particular society.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="In_health_care_decisions">In health care decisions</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Regret&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: In health care decisions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A 2016 review of past studies found risk factors for people to develop "decision regret" regarding their health care were: higher decisional conflict, lower satisfaction with the decision, <a href="/wiki/Adverse_outcome" class="mw-redirect" title="Adverse outcome">adverse outcomes</a> in physical health, and greater <a href="/wiki/Anxiety" title="Anxiety">anxiety</a> levels.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Deathbed_regrets">Deathbed regrets</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Regret&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Deathbed regrets"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A 2018 study found that people were more likely to express "ideal-related regrets", such as failing to follow their dreams and live up to their full potential.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-today-study_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-today-study-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This was found to correlate with the anecdotal accounts of palliative care nurse <a href="/wiki/Bronnie_Ware" title="Bronnie Ware">Bronnie Ware</a> about the most common regrets she had heard expressed by those nearing death, which included:<sup></sup> </p> <ol><li>"I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."</li> <li>"I wish I hadn’t worked so hard."</li> <li>"I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings."</li> <li>"I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."</li> <li>"I wish that I had let myself be happier."<sup id="cite_ref-bw-post_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bw-post-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Determinants_of_intensity">Determinants of intensity</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Regret&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Determinants of intensity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Action_versus_inaction">Action versus inaction</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Regret&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Action versus inaction"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There is an interplay between action versus inaction and time.
