Abstract

Abstract This paper analyses regret. On the basis of a number of examples, the case is made that regret is a negative affective state that has a perceived past choice as its object. More precisely, S regrets φ-ing, iff, and because (i) S has a negative affective state regarding φ-ing (Negative Affect State Requirement), the experience of which is explained by (ii) S perceiving that an alternative choice that was available to her would have been preferable to φ-ing (Perceived Forking Path Requirement). The resulting account is differentiated from Williams’ agent-regret and shown to avoid problems faced by Zeelenberg’s definition of regret.

选择在哪里消亡，遗憾就在哪里诞生

摘要本文对后悔进行了分析。基于一些例子，我们认为后悔是一种消极的情感状态，它以感知到的过去的选择为对象。更准确地说，S后悔φ-ing, iff，并且因为(i) S对φ-ing有消极的情感状态(消极影响状态要求)，其经验可以通过(ii) S感知到她可用的替代选择比φ-ing(感知分叉路径要求)更好来解释。由此产生的解释与Williams的“代理人-后悔”有所区别，并避免了Zeelenberg对后悔的定义所面临的问题。
