==Description==
'''Disappointment''' is the [[feeling]] of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of [[expectations]] to [[manifest]]. Similar to regret, it differs in that the [[individual]] feeling regret [[focuses]] primarily on the [[personal]] [[choices]] that contributed to a poor outcome, while the individual feeling disappointment [[focuses]] on the outcome itself. It is a source of psychological [[stress]]. The [[study]] of disappointment—its [[causes]], [[impact]] and the [[degree]] to which individual decisions are [[motivated]] by a [[desire]] to avoid it—is a focus in the field of decision [[analysis]], as disappointment is one of two primary [[emotions]] involved in decision-making.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappointment]
