The telephone survey of 370 adults found that women have more regrets about romance then men (44 percent vs. 19 percent), while men have more regrets about work than women (34 percent vs. 27 percent), the Chicago Tribune reported.
The researchers at Northwest University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne also found that: people who were not currently in a relationship were most likely to have romance regrets; people with low levels of education regretted their lack of education; and people with high levels of education had the most career-related regrets.
The study appears in an upcoming issue of the journal Social Psychology and Personality Science.
