The Nature of the Conflict in Delay of Gratification

Koriat, Asher; Nisan, Mordecai

Journal of Genetic Psychology, 131, 2, 195-206, Dec 77

A total of 556 Israeli fifth graders participated in a study of delay of gratification. Two hypothetical delay of gratification situations were presented. The first situation required a choice between an immediate and a more valuable but delayed reward. The second situation required the subjects to predict an intelligent child's choice in the same situation. (BD)
