Cadre general :
Over the past decade or so, an increasing number of social psychologists worldwide have sought to understand the antecedents, consequences, and functions of counterfactual thinking. Counterfactual thinking is a ubiquitous form of thought that involves bringing to mind ways in which past events might have happened differently. Counterfactual thinking research spans several traditional topics in social psychology including attributional thinking (e.g., attributions of causality, preventability, blame, and responsibility), judgment and decision making (e.g., assessments of culpability and compensation in social and legal contexts; effects on future strategy selection and on choice), emotion (e.g., cognitive mediation of emotional responses to the negative and/or disconfirming outcomes), and comparative thinking (e.g., relation between counterfactual thinking and social comparison processes). We are organizing a small group meeting to explore these issues. Our hope is to bring about 20-25 researchers and provide them with a unique forum to learn about and discuss the latest empirical and theoretical work concerning counterfactual thinking.
