Regret is defined as a combination of cognition and emotion characterized by a negative feeling over something one has or has not done. Previous research suggests that people have many areas of life regrets, and regrets are more often about what one has not done (regrets of omission) than what one has done (regrets of commission). However, little is known about the personality characteristics that predict life regrets. Three studies examined how personality is related to global life regrets in young adults (Study 1), to global and specific life regrets in young adults (Study 2), and to specific life regrets in older adults (Study 3). Results from all three studies confirmed the importance of personality's role in life regrets. In Study 1, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, promotion (approach-oriented) and prevention (avoidance-oriented) regulatory focus were all negatively related to global life regrets; Neuroticism and limited future time perspective (seeing time ahead as running out) were positively related to global life regrets. In addition, regrets of omission and regrets of commission were differentially related to personality, most notably in the realm of regulatory focus. Study 2 replicated these findings and extended them by showing similar personality correlates of specific life regrets, again, regrets of omission and commission were differentially related to regulatory focus. In Study 1, Extraversion and Conscientiousness were related to fewer regrets of omission in young adults; in contrast, Study 3 showed that Extraversion and Conscientiousness measured in early midlife (age 43) were associated with more regrets of omission in late midlife (age 61). Neuroticism and a limited future time perspective in early midlife were associated with poorer coping with regrets in late midlife. Finally, age 61 identity achievement and flexible goal adjustment (both signs of positive aging) were both important buffers against life regrets, as were satisfying social relationships. These findings emphasize that life regrets must be conceptualized and studied within the individual's current personality and life context.
