The Effects of Age, Positive Affect Induction, and Instructions on Children's Delay of Gratification.

Yates, Gregory C. R.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v32 n1 p169-80 Aug 1981

In two experiments, children were subjected to a delay of gratification procedure in which higher levels of reward were contingent upon maintaining waiting behavior. Results from both experiments indicated that the impact of a positive affect induction procedure on delay of gratification varied with age. (Author/DB)
