My colleagues and I devised a scale to measure proneness to feeling regret, and we found that people with high sensitivity to regret are less happy, less satisfied with life, less optimistic and more depressed than those with low sensitivity.

• 我与同事设计了一个尺标来测量后悔的倾向，我们发现容易感到遗憾的人，相对来说也比较不快乐，对生命较不满意、较不乐观，也较沮丧。
