Personal Narratives About Guilt: Role in Action Control and Interpersonal Relationships

How to Teach about the Holocaust? Psychological Obstacles in Historical Education in Poland and Germany

“…More specifically, guilt increases the motivation to make amends or to apologize (Brown et al 2008;Imhoff et al 2013;Tangney 1995). This has led several researchers to characterize guilt as a relationship-enhancing emotion that strengthens social bonds and attachment (Baumeister et al 1995), thus playing a "pivotal role in alleviating group conflict" (Maitner et al 2007, p. 224). Therefore, there are good reasons to indeed evoke negative emotions or even vicarious bad conscience for the deeds committed by Nazi Germans and their collaborators.…”

Exploring the Relations between Regret, Self-agency, and the Tendency to Repair Using Experimental Methods and Structural Equation Modeling

“…Regret and guilt are believed to partly overlap. Both are assumed to be characterized by the tendency to repair (Baumeister, Stillwell, & Heatherton, 1995;Haidt, 2003;Roseman et al, 1994), but feelings of regret can arise in a broader range of situations than feelings of guilt, including non-social ones (Zeelenberg & Breugelmans, 2008). The mixed results concerning the relation between selfagency and the tendency to repair could be due to the complex social contexts that were used to study guilt.…”

Promises and conventions – An approach to pre-play agreements

“…6 Before the game is played, an agreement is established. We abstract from whether this is done by a social norm or by pre-play negotiations, let alone which protocol is used, if any, if players negotiate.…”

“…5 See Ledyard (1995). 6 The approach allows for a straightforward extension to sequential two stage games.…”

“…These marginal incentive compatibility conditions imply the incentive compatibility conditions which in turn imply the individual rationality conditions. Thus, the marginal incentive compatibility conditions are necessary and sufficient for agreeability (6). A property explicit in (6) is worth emphasizing: if G 00 < 0, there is a conflict between the efficiency of the agreement and the incentives to respect.…”
