Counterfactual Thinking is the imagining of alternative outcomes of past events. This phenomenon is ubiquitous in everyday life, it is also a unique correlate to certain cognitive and clinical measures, such as neuroticism, stress, and various psychiatric diseases.

This study aims to validate a scale to measure CFT
