Want to Rebound from Failure? Feel the Pain

摘要

Feeling the pain of failure leads to more effort to correct your mistake than simply thinking about what went wrong, according to a study from the University of Kansas, Lawrence; Stanford (Calif.) University; and Ohio State University, Columbus. Researchers found that people who merely think about a failure tend to make excuses for why they were unsuccessful and then do not try harder when faced with a similar situation. In contrast, people who focus on their emotions following a failure put forth more effort when they try again.
