Delayed Gratification Experiment There is a classic experiment in the development of psychology research, called Delayed Gratification Experiment conducted by Walter Mischel, professor of psychology at Stanford University in the United States in the 1960s. In the experiment, the experimental staff gathered few 4-year-ld children and gave each child a very delicious candy, and told the children can that if you want to eat the candy immediately, you can only eat one; if you wait to eat it in 20 minutes, you can eat two. Some children cannot wait and eat the candy immediately. The other children were able to wait for a period of 20 minutes. In order to resist to the temper, some children closed their eyes, trying not to see the candy, talking to themselves, singing, and putting themselves to sleep. These kids, who can wait 20 minutes, finally got to eat two candies. In the experiment, every child had to face the temptation of the candy. This experiment is used to analyze the child's ability to meet the delay gratification, the ability to wait for what they need. The experiment observation went on over years. The children who were waiting to eat two sugars at the time of their older age, they were still patient and not anxious about their surroundings. Those who were eager to eat the candy were likely to be stubborn, indecisive and sometimes depressed on personality performance in their adolescence. When these children grew up and attended high school. They showed some obvious differences. The survey of parents and teachers shows that children who are able to get the second candy at the age of four were often more adaptable, more adventurous, more likable, more confident, and more independent; and those who cannot afford the early age of the temptation is more likely to become eccentric, vulnerable, stubborn. They tend to succumb to pressure and escape the challenge. Researchers had been investigating the performance of those children over the years, and the study found that children who were able to wait longer for the second candy were more likely to be more successful than those who lacked patience. In the next few decades of follow-up observation, the results found that patient children are also more outstanding in the career performance. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/d46b7b9a1fd9ad51f01dc281e53a580217fc5008.html
