The regrets reported by Terman's intellectually gifted subjects were analyzed to determine the nature of their regrets, whether they are the same as those reported by the general population, and whether they stem predominantly from errors of omission or commission. A 1986 survey of these subjects in their advanced years (mean age = 74) asked them to specify what they would do differently if they could live over again. An analysis of their responses indicated that, like the population as a whole, they harbor many more regrets of inaction than regrets of action. The implications of these findings for a proposed temporal pattern to the experience of regret is discussed.
对特曼研究中那些智力超常的受试者所报告的遗憾进行了分析，以确定他们遗憾的本质，这些遗憾是否与普通人群所报告的相同，以及它们主要是源于疏忽之错还是行为之错。1986年对这些年事已高（平均年龄 = 74岁）的受试者进行了一项调查，要求他们具体说明如果能重新活一次，他们会有哪些不同的做法。对他们回答的分析表明，和全体人群一样，他们对不作为的遗憾要比对有所作为的遗憾多得多。本文讨论了这些发现对于所提出的遗憾体验时间模式的意义。
