To Deliberate Or Not? the Role of Regret Salience and Deliberation on Valuation

In the face of highly consequential decisions with difficult trade-offs, common sense suggests that careful deliberation is essential. Our studies show that while deliberation reduces self-reported regret, it also causes overvaluation of the preferred option. Thus, by deliberating, consumers might be paying a price for reduced feelings of regret.
