2 Counterfactual Thinking in Simulated Situations: Failing a job-interview Kaori MASAMOTO Counterfactual thinking: This study investigates counterfactual thinking (CFT) in simulated situations of employment exams in order to clarify the features of CFT that cause undergraduate students to fail during their job-hunting process. One of four different scenarios (job-interview: first interview or final interview, action or inaction toward a job-interview) was randomly allocated to 224 undergraduate students. After reading a scenario, participants were required to rate the CFT scale. Results show that the values of internal and upward CFT are highest among the four different kinds of CFT. External and upward CFT in action situations increased compared with that in inaction situations. In addition, a decrease of external CFT was observed in inaction situations. Key words: counterfactual thinking, job-hunting, job-interview

One of four different scenarios (job-interview: first interview or final interview, action or inaction toward a job-interview) was randomly allocated to 224 undergraduate students.
