Yes Yadira, it is called counterfactural thinking lol.this usually happends when there is an accident and the person in the accident tries to make a reasonable explination for what happend :]
Jacky's answer is correct, it does happen when there is an accident and someone tries to come up with a reasonable explanation. It usually takes place in a "If only" form for example if a student takes an exam and they dont do good theyll think, "If only I would have studied harder or gotten more help," this is counterfactual thinking. They also typically deal with causes and consequences.
