Regrets and Priorities at Three Stages of Life.

Kinnier, Richard T.; Metha, Arlene T.

Counseling and Values, v33 n3 p182-93 Apr 1989

Surveyed 316 men and women from 3 age categories (20-29, 35-55, and 65 or older) about their major regrets and priorities in life. The most frequently cited regrets were related to missed educational opportunities and failure to have been more assertive and to have taken more risks. Differences were found between age groups; gender differences were also revealed. (Author/NB)
