TOPIC: WEEK 7
Prepared by: RHEA MAE B. QUINICOT
LESSON OBJECTIVES:
 Define the concept of regret and
explain its emotional and social
implications.
 Construct appropriate and sincere
expressions of regret in both verbal and
written forms, considering the context
and the audience.
 Engage in role-play activities to
practice both giving and receiving
apologies, enhancing their ability to
handle such interactions with maturity
and sensitivity.
Key Concepts:
1.Regrets
2.Expressing regrets orally and in writing
appropriately
3.Saying sorry and accepting apologies
Introduction
Regret and apology are integral aspects of human
communication and relationships. They are
mechanisms through which individuals
acknowledge mistakes, seek forgiveness, and strive
to mend damaged relationships. (Gilovich, T., &
Medvec, V. H., 1995)
1. Regrets
Regret is a complex emotional response to actions
or decisions that one perceives as wrong or suboptimal.
It often involves a sense of guilt, sadness, or
disappointment over past actions or outcomes (Gilovich
& Medvec, 1995). Expressing regret appropriately is
essential for personal well-being and for maintaining
healthy interpersonal relationships.
2. Expressing Regrets Orally
Oral expressions of regret are spontaneous and immediate, making them powerful tools in personal and
professional interactions. The key components of effectively expressing regret orally include sincerity, clarity,
and timeliness (Schlenker & Darby, 1981).
 Sincerity: The person expressing regret must genuinely feel remorse. Insincere expressions can worsen the
situation and damage trust.
 Clarity: Clear communication helps the listener understand the specific actions or decisions being
regretted.
 Timeliness: Regret should be expressed as soon as possible after the realization of the mistake to prevent
further misunderstandings or hurt feelings.
Example: "I regret not attending your presentation yesterday. I realize it was important to you, and I'm truly
sorry for missing it."
ExpressingRegretsin Writing
Written expressions of regret provide the opportunity for thoughtful reflection and structured
communication. They are particularly useful in formal or professional contexts where clarity and record-keeping
are important (Fraser, 1980).
 Structure: A written expression of regret typically includes a clear statement of regret, an explanation, and a
commitment to avoid repeating the mistake.
 Tone: The tone should be respectful and humble, acknowledging the mistake without being defensive.
 Detail: Providing specific details about the regretted action and its impact can help convey sincerity.
Example: "I am writing to express my regret for the oversight in the recent project report. I failed to include the
latest data, which has caused confusion. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and will ensure that
such errors do not happen in the future."
3. Saying Sorry
Apologies are explicit acknowledgments of wrongdoing accompanied by expressions of
regret and requests for forgiveness. Effective apologies consist of several key elements
1991):
 Acknowledgment of the Offense: Clearly stating what one is apologizing for.
 Explanation: Offering a brief, honest explanation without making excuses.
 Expression of Remorse: Showing genuine remorse and understanding of the hurt caused.
 Offer of Repair: Offering to make amends or rectify the situation.
 Request for Forgiveness: Asking for forgiveness to demonstrate humility and the desire to
forward.
Accepting Apologies
Accepting apologies is as important as making them. It involves acknowledging the
apology, expressing forgiveness, and moving forward without holding grudges (Exline et al.,
2003).
 Acknowledgment: Recognizing the apology and the effort it took to make it.
 Forgiveness: Verbally expressing forgiveness to help both parties move on.
 Closure: Discussing any remaining issues and agreeing on steps to prevent future
conflicts.
Example: "Thank you for your apology. I appreciate your honesty and forgive you. Let's
work together to ensure this doesn't happen again."
Cultural Considerations
Expressions of regret and apology vary across cultures.
Understanding these differences is crucial for effective
communication in a globalized world (Olshtain & Cohen, 1983).
Individualistic Cultures: In cultures that emphasize individuality,
direct and explicit apologies are often valued.
Collectivist Cultures: In more collectivist societies, maintaining
harmony and saving face may lead to more indirect expressions of
regret.
Conclusion
Speaking of repairing relationships and building understanding,
regret and apology are key in those processes. In addition, no matter
how these messages are conveyed, be orally or in writing, they need to
be sincere, clearly understood and culturally sensitive. Equally, it is
just as important to accept apologies gracefully as it allows an
environment to forgive and move on. The concept of regret and apology
of course makes it into human-human communication.
