People don’t like changing their minds. Most research ties this tendency to things like status quo biases, sunk cost effects, and inaction inertia, but a new study by researchers at the University of Oslo investigates whether there is a connection between changing our minds and feelings of regret.
Through a series of experiments they discovered that people who change their minds experience more regret than those who don’t, even when the new decisions lead to positive outcomes.
