In this podcast episode:Forgetting the call, disappointing expectations or not getting in touch with a friend: For host Jenny Rieger, feelings of guilt are omnipresent and “one of the most unpleasant things ever”.
But where do these feelings come from, and what are they good for? Psychologist Tobias Luck has been researching the topic for several years: "Guilt is, on the one hand, a feeling and, on the other, a process of evaluation." People only feel guilty when they violate their own values and morals. This, he says, also motivates them to behave differently in the future.
In “NZZ Megahertz,” Luck explains why a surprising number of people never feel guilty, what differences he observes between the sexes, and what constitutes a good apology.
