'Basierend auf einer Betrachtung des kontrafaktischen Denkens in den Finanzmärkten, schlägt der Beitrag ein von der Standarddefinition abweichendes Verständnis des Begriffes vor. Die Sozialpsychologie definiert das kontrafaktische Denken als Entwicklung alternativer Varianten vergangener Ereignisse. Zwei Erweiterungen werden in dem Beitrag behandelt: Die hinterfragten Tatsachen beziehen sich auch auf die Zukunft und werden in den sozialen Kontexten konstruiert. Folglich soll das kontrafaktische Denken nicht nur als eine allgemeine Eigenschaft menschlicher Mentalität, sondern auch als ein Element sozialen Lebens betrachtet werden. Es ist ein Instrument des Umgangs mit der Komplexität zukünftiger Ereignisse in den jeweiligen sozialen Rahmenbedingungen.' (Autorenreferat)... view less

'Based on the study of counterfactual thinking in the financial markets, the paper suggests a deviation from the standard definition of counterfactuals. The social psychology traditionally defines counterfactual thinking as the development of alternative versions of past events. Two enhancements of this understanding are suggested in the paper: the contradicted facts are related to the future and are socially constructed. Thus, counterfactual thinking should be investigated not only as a common feature of the human mentality but also as an element of social life. It is an instrument to cope with the complexity of future events in social settings.' (author's abstract)... view less
