New scale accurately distinguishes regret from disappointment, revolutionizing decision-making research.
The Regret and Disappointment Scale (RDS) is a new tool to measure regret and disappointment in decision making. It was tested in three studies and found to be more effective than traditional methods in distinguishing between the two emotions. The RDS accurately differentiated between regret and disappointment in scenarios and real-life situations. It also performed well in gambling scenarios, showing its usefulness in decision making research.
