According to research on counterfactual thinking, individuals are most likely to experience regret and upset when they feel that they could have prevented a negative outcome. In scenario C, Tim left on time but had to turn back to get his presentation, suggesting that he could have made the flight if he had been more careful or better prepared. This feeling of control over the situation increases the likelihood of counterfactual thoughts and feelings of regret. In the other scenarios, factors outside of Tim's control (such as a late cab or a flat tire) may make it less likely for him to feel responsible for missing the flight, and therefore less likely to experience regret.
