| Abstract |
Examined whether people psychologically "undo" (imagine how things may have turned out otherwise in a particular situation) events along the lines of normality or along the lines of value when these strategies conflict. 60 undergraduates were given a scenario to read and asked to write down a possible event or events that would have resulted in a different outcome. Ss were, on average, almost 4 times more likely to undo outcomes on the basis of value than normality. This tendency did not significantly differ across normal and exceptional or positive and negative outcomes.
