Remorse is an emotion that has historically been afforded some significance in Western culture. It continues to play a part in legal processes and is of interest for the rehabilitation of offenders. Remorse has been afforded little scholarly attention by psychologists, although some attention has been given to remorse in the study of emotion and in the study of the effect of remorse on social judgement. In this thesis, the psychology of remorse is reviewed in four areas: interpersonal judgment, judicial processes, psychotherapy, and the study of emotion. The study of remorse as an emotion and the effect of remorse on interpersonal judgment are investigated in three separate empirical studies and one meta-analysis. / thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2001.
