A study suggests that some people can overcome them, said Jia Wei Zhang, a psychology graduate at the University of California. But this isnt the case for everyone, he said.The researchers wondered why some people report feeling improvement from regrets but others dont. Does it lie in how people approach their regrets?In the study, the researchers focused on self-compassion (自我同情) as a potential factor in why some people have an easier lime leaving their regrets behind them.400 people attended an experiment. First, they were asked to write about their biggest regret. Half wrote something they did but wish they hadnt done; the other half wrote something they didnt do but wish they had. Then, the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: self compassion, self-esteem and a control group. The self-esteem group was asked to respond by “talking to yourself about this regret from the aspect of confirming your positive qualities”.The control group was asked to write about their favorite hobby rather than their regret. Then, they were asked about their feelings of forgiveness, acceptance and personal improvement following the exercise.They found that the self-compassion group reported greater feelings of acceptance, forgiveness and personal improvement, compared with the control group and the self esteem group. In other words, focusing on your best qualities is not what helps you feel better about a regret. Rather, being compassionate toward yourself is what may make a difference, the researchers found.Its possible that people who practice self-compassion are able to confront their regrets and see what went wrong, so they can make a better choice in the future, Zhang told Live Science. Self-compassion pushes people to accept their regret instead of running away from it.The researchers used an example of this from a previous study on breast cancer patients who were asked to try thinking about their treatment in a positive light before it began. The women who did so reported greater feelings of personal growth later on.1、What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 7 mean?AHandle BForget.CIgnore DShow.2、What were the students in the self-esteem group asked to do?AThink of a way out.
