REGRET STYLE SCALE: A NEW MEASURE ASSESSING INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN DECISION MAKING STYLES
No full textRegret is the most studied emotion in decision making processes. In the present study, we present a new measure of dispositional regret style and examine its concurrent and criterion validity. Participants (N=119) were administered in small group sessions the regret style scale with depression and anxiety scales. Participants took one month away the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART; Lejuez et al., 2002) and state mood in a second research session. Results showed that the regret style scale had a sound one-factor structure, high reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha equal to .89). Furthermore we found a correlations' set ranging from small to moderate with negative mood, depression and anxiety measures. Regression analyses also revealed that regret style predicted less risk taking in BART either controlling or not controlling for other negative affect measures. Implications for personality and decision making research are discussed

No full textthat generated panic worldwide. Therefore, the negative impact of COVID-19 on
mental health among the general population has been identified as a research priority.
Despite this, some studies suggest that the elderly population is underrepresented. The
present research aimed to compare the emotional regulation and the quality of life of
a group of 150 elderly assessed during the pandemic isolation for COVID-19 with
the normative data of a group of pre-COVID-19 elderly. Another aim is to study the
relationship between emotional regulation, perceived acute stress, quality of life, and
risk perception with the variables age, years of education, gender, and cohabitation
status of elders assessed during the pandemic isolation for COVID-19. The results
showed that: the elders assessed during the Covid period had a lower capacity for
emotional regulation; compared to younger people, older people were less capable of
emotional regulation, had a higher perceived risk of COVID-19 infection, and were
less satisfied with their independence; higher levels of education reflected a greater
capacity for emotional regulation; women showed a lower capacity for emotional
regulation and higher stress and perceived risk; the elders who lived alone seemed to
be more vulnerable than who lived with other people. The findings underscore the
need to assess the psychological effects of the pandemic in the elderly population,
particularly for the most vulnerable individuals
