delayed gratification

Examples of delayed gratification in the following topics:

• Mischel's Cognitive-Affective Model of Personality and the Person-Situation Debate

  • Self-regulation refers to the ability to set and work toward goals; it is often described as willpower and often relates to the ability to delay gratification.
  • Delayed gratification is the concept of denying oneself a reward in the present to get a better reward in the future.
  • Mischel's now-famous Stanford marshmallow experiment examined the processes and mental mechanisms that enable a young child to forego immediate gratification and wait for a better, but delayed, reward.

• The GLOBE Project

  • Future orientation is the degree to which individuals in organizations or societies engage in future-oriented behaviors such as planning, investing in the future, and delaying gratification.

• Data and Methods

  • It is not, however, education itself that causes declines in fertility but rather its association with other factors that reduce fertility: women with higher levels of education delay marriage and are more likely to abstain from marriage and / or parenthood, have improved labor market opportunities, are more likely to use contraception during intercourse, and are less likely to adopt traditional childbearing roles.
  • Additionally, delayed childbearing, probability of a child reaching adulthood, norms about ideal family sizes, and pervasiveness of contraceptives will all reduce fertility rates.
  • ability to delay gratification: with the ability to delay gratification people live healthier lives and engage in healthier behaviors (e.g., exercise)

• Experimental Designs

  • In this experiment, subjects diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder were each tested on a delay of gratification task after receiving methylphenidate (MPH).
  • It is not unlikely that experience with the delay of gratification task would have an effect.

• Arousal Theory of Motivation

  • ., the ability to withstand frustrating situations without getting upset), delay of gratification, and inhibition vs. impulsivity.

• Difference Between Two Means (Correlated Pairs)

  • These data consist of the scores of 24 children with ADHD on a delay of gratification (DOG) task.

• Testing a Single Mean

  • These data consist of the scores of 24 children with ADHD on a delay of gratification (DOG) task.

• Within-Subjects ANOVA

  • These data consist of the scores of 24 children with ADHD on a delay of gratification (DOG) task.

• Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders

  • Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by immediate gratification (short-term reward), coupled with delayed deleterious effects (long-term costs).

• Practice 3: Test of a Single Variance

  • Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 15 minutes.
  • It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 150 minutes.
  • Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next 25 flights.
  • The average delay for those 25 flights is 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 15 minutes.
  • If an additional test were done on the claim of the average delay, which distribution would you use?
