“…ï· Guilt appears designed to remedy situations where one put insufficient weight on the welfare of a valuable other (often unintentionally), independent of whether the other knows this (Baumeister, Stillwell, & Heatherton, 1994;Leith & Baumeister, 1998;Smith, Webster, & Eyre, 2002;McGraw, 1987;Sznycer, 2010Sznycer, , 2019. Once triggered, the guilt system increases the weight the individual attaches to the other's welfare: It interrupts the imposition of costs (Cohen, Panter, & Turan, 2013;Cohen, Panter, Turan, Morse, & Kim, 2014) and motivates actions to benefit the victim and repair the relationship, including: restitutions, amends, apologies, confessions, and acceptance of responsibility (Baumeister, Stillwell, & Heatherton, 1995;Tangney, 1991;de Hooge, Zeelenberg, & Breugelmans, 2007;Ketelaar & Au, 2003;Leith & Baumeister, 1998;Ohtsubo & Yagi, 2015;Sznycer, Schniter, Tooby, & Cosmides, 2015).…”
