Education News Headline Roundup [00:08:10]The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is once again majorly delayed. On August 7th the U.S. Department of Education announced a rollout process for the 2025-2026 form that includes an October 1st date for limited testing, with the application set to open to all students on December 1 2024, two months later than the typical release date for the application. A federal appeals court has allowed an Iowa law that bans books with sexual content from K-12 school libraries and restricts instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity before seventh grade to take effect. This overturns a previous injunction that had paused the law, signed by Republican Governor Kim Reynolds in 2023.An update to a previously discussed story: in the wake of former Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse announcing his resignation from the University of Florida presidency, the UF student newspaper, the Independent Florida Alligator, has reported that Sasse may have been forced out over escalating tensions with the university's board chairman, Morteza “Mori” Hosseini.Social Learning Theory: Bandura, Bobo, and Beyond [00:15:16]Social Learning Theory (SLT) seeks to explain how we learn behaviors by observing and imitating others. This episode explores SLT's unique position between behaviorism, which focuses on observable behaviors, and cognitive psychology, which emphasizes internal processes like memory and perception.We'll discuss how Albert Bandura revolutionized psychology by developing new theories on aggression and modeled behaviors, challenging the dominant behaviorist views of the time. We'll cover Bandura's famous Bobo Doll experiment and its groundbreaking findings on observational learning, and we'll also introduce you to other key figures in the development of SLT, like Julian Rotter, who developed the concept of locus of control, and Walter Mischel, known for the marshmallow test on delayed gratification. We'll also tease apart the core concepts of SLT (modeling, self-efficacy, and vicarious reinforcement) to show how they work together to shape behavior. Finally, we'll discuss the broader applications and criticisms of SLT in areas like education, media, and even advertising, where the power of observed behavior is leveraged in both positive and controversial ways.Sources & Resources:The rollout for the updated FAFSA application has been delayed again : NPRAfter Botched Rollout, FAFSA Is Delayed for a Second Year - The New York TimesFAFSA Rollout Delayed Again: Here's What to Know | Paying for College | U.S. NewsU.S. Department of Education Announces Schedule and New Process to Launch 2025-26 FAFSA Form‘There's nothing more important right now': Cardona commits to fixing FAFSA disaster - POLITICOFederal judges allow Iowa book ban to take effect this school year | AP NewsObama addresses healthcare website glitches - BBC NewsFederal appeals court rules Iowa's book ban law can take effectSasse's spending, exit leave lingering questions at UFUniversity of Florida Pres.

Delayed Gratification: Maybe It's NOT the Secret to Success (Jacqueline Rifkin, PhD)

Send us a Text Message.Delayed gratification. When it comes to health, wellness and high performance, it's the holy grail, right? Well, not so fast.      Back in 1970, psychologist and Stanford professor Walter Mischel (‘mishel”) performed the marshmallow study. It purported to show that children who were able to delay gratification by choosing not to eat a marshmallow when left alone in a room in order to earn 2 marshmallows went on to garner greater success across a range of areas, including school and careers. It's been a cornerstone concept for speakers, coaches and consultants for decades. But can it go too far? Today's guest, Dr. Jacqueline Rifkin has spent her career answering that question, studying how we manage our resources, including time, money and even experiences. Her findings – which she recently shared in a fascinating Wall Street Journal article – may not exactly align with what you've been taught. Maybe there is a time and a place to eat that marshmallow afterall. We'll talk about the other side of delayed gratification, the specialness spiral and more, and I think you'll be surprised, and perhaps encouraged, by what she has to share. Dr. Rifkin has her PhD in Marketing from Duke University and has done extensive work in both marketing and consumer research market. She is an assistant professor of marketing at Cornell University, teaching consumer behavior at both the undergrad and graduate levels.Looking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?

Desde que aparecieron Netflix, Amazón Prime, Disney Plus entre otras plataformas de Streaming, el acceso a películas y series desplazó definitivamente el consumo de la televisión tradicional, llena de comerciales que desesperaban al más paciente de los televidentes. Bueno, pues el caso es que hoy en día, a diferencia de la Televisión tradicional, es posible poder ver tantas películas como queramos o tantos episodios como queramos de nuestras series favoritas, a la hora que queramos, cuando queramos y lo mejor de todo: Sin tener que soportar la molesta e invasiva pauta comercial. Bueno, pues la posibilidad de ver tanto como queramos en estas plataformas de streaming, ha generado lo que hoy en día se conoce como las “Maratones” en la que los que los amantes a las series, por ejemplo, se las pueden ver si quisieran toda completa en un día, con el consecuente enrojecimiento de ojos y hasta dolores de cabeza de estar pegados frente a la pantalla todo el día. Pero también ha aparecido, como consecuencia de todo esto, otra clase de consumidores de series, que prefieren “dosificar” el consumo de las mismas, viendo uno o máximo dos capítulos de sus series favoritas por semana, con el fin de mantener la emoción de disfrutar dicha serie por más tiempo. Bueno, pues quizás la forma en la que consumes series de televisión es un reflejo de tu forma de ser entorno a tu relación con el dinero y de las decisiones financieras que tomas. ¿Por qué? Fácil, porque la forma en que consumes series puede ser simplemente un reflejo de como estás entorno al concepto de “Gratificación diferida” que no es más que es la capacidad de una persona de posponer una recompensa presente por una mayor en el futuro, que de hecho, y está científicamente comprobado por el psicólogo Walter Mischel, puede marcar el éxito o el fracaso en la vida personal y financiera de un individuo.

There's a different path that lights up called the ‘self-center.'   In his book The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self Control, Walter Mischel walks us through this study and what we can learn about our future self.   It turns out that having a connection to the person that you want to be 10 years from now has a direct connection on our relationship to willpower and impulsivity.   Tune in as Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton break down ways to get closer to your future self and how there's something that we can all do today in order to make us more familiar with who we want to be 10 years from now.   ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?

Starting in October we tend to see a decline in self- control. It starts with Halloween, then rolls right into Thanksgiving, next thing you know its Christmas and New Years.Your self control starts to decline a bit; whether it is with food, healthy eating, exercising, shopping, drinking, patience and whatever else you want to work on, but can't seem to stick to it.Understanding what exactly self-control is can help you to work on the skill and stay on track to achieving your goals and who you want to be. Self control is a trait and skill. Like all traits, some people are born with more than others. But regardless of how much you are born with; you can still work on this skill.There is a fantastic book all about self control and it started with a Marshmallow Test with kids. The book, The Marshmallow Test, Mastering Self Control, by Walter Mischel dives deep into what self control is and the factors that both cultivate and destroy it.Kids sat in front of a marshmallow and were told if they stayed there and didn't eat the marshmallow or ring the bell, then they would get 2 marshmallows (instead of 1). Some kids waited and others did not. What made the difference between the two?  Self control made the difference.What is self control? When a number of kids from a KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) school were asked, many of them answered the same way: "thinking before doing."Notice self control in your daily actions. Do you think before buying all that stuff on Amazon? Do you think before eating the cookie? Do you think before pouring a glass of wine? Do you think before losing your patience with your kids?Take notice of where you are and are not exercising self control.www.allyoumama.comIG -@MeghanQBarrett

Day 186 Today's Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4 God's will is the exact place God wants you to be at the right time. It's being in the right relationship, the right job, living in the right city, reading the right book of the Bible. As Elisabeth Elliot said, “The will of God is not something you add to your life. It's a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God . . . or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.”  First Thessalonians 4 teaches us something very valuable about understanding the will of God for our lives. God's will is the safest place on the planet. It is safer for me to be in the most anti-Christian country (such as North Korea) in God's will than it is to be living in a mansion in Cabo San Lucas outside of God's will. There is peace and safety and confidence in God's will, but it's not always easy. As missionary Joanne Shetler said: “God never said doing His will would be easy; He only said it would be worth it.” But how do we know if something is God's will? I know of people who have tried flipping through the Bible and whatever passage they land on is what they are going to do. The story is told of a man who used this flip-open-the-Bible method to see what God wanted him to do in his life. The first verse he landed on was Matthew 27:5, which says Judas “went away and hanged himself.” Since he was not sure how this verse applied to him, he flipped to another passage. The Bible fell open to Luke 10:37: “Said Jesus unto him, ‘Go and do the same.'” The man was quite upset and did not know how he could ever obey that, so he decided to turn to one more place. Again he opened the Bible at random and to his horror his finger fell on John 13:27: “Jesus said to him, ‘What you do, do quickly.'” Not a good way to figure out God's will. I think it is a lot simpler. The problem is that the will of God always seems to be this treasure hunt that everyone is on. Where should I live? What should be my career? Should I go, should I stay? What college? Do I buy this house? Do I rent this apartment? Do I date this guy? Do I marry this person? We treat the will of God like God whispers it one time and if we miss it, we're left on our own to figure it out. I wonder if we don't know more of God's will for our personal lives, because we have not done what is clearly spelled out. Sometimes we don't get more specific future instructions because we have not obeyed what is clearly written for us right now. There are two will-of-God verses that Paul clearly spells out for us in the Bible. We know this because Paul says, “for this is the will of God.” Let's look at one today and one tomorrow. I believe if we follow these two verses, other future decisions will become clearer for us. After reading each of the verses, ask yourself: Am I doing this? If you aren't, here's something to ponder: why would God entrust you with more if you won't do what is right before you? Here is the clear will of God for our life: “For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Let's be really clear and define sexual immorality: it is having sex outside the boundaries of marriage. “I love him” or “I love her” does not make sex outside of marriage right. “We are engaged” does not change what God has said. To engage before the marriage commitment is to sabotage your marriage before it happens. Why? The Bible says that “love is patient.” That is the first definition of love in the long list. If you can't be patient till the wedding day, then love is suspect. The will of God says abstain from sexual immorality. You will prove your love to the person you love by your patience to do things the right way. And great things come from the fruit of the Spirit—patience. Around 1970, Walter Mischel launched a classic experiment in which he left a succession of four-year-olds in a room with a bell and a marshmallow. If they rang the bell, he returned and they could eat the marshmallow. If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two marshmallows. In videos of the experiment, we can see the children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes—desperately trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two marshmallows. Their performances varied widely. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted fifteen minutes. After the experiment, Mischel continued to follow and study them. The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had, on average, better adult outcomes. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to become bullies. They received worse teacher and parental evaluations ten years on and were more likely to have drug problems by the age of thirty-two. Mischel concluded that children may be taught “that it pays to work toward the future instead of living for instant gratification.” God is always thinking about the big picture. When God tells us to wait until marriage, it's because He realizes waiting for sex within those boundaries has really good things that happen for our future across the board—and we get to know more and more of His will for our lives. Wait for two marshmallows. You get a lot more cool stuff in the future.

Delayed gratification, also referred to as deferred gratification, is often difficult because we're wired not just to seek pleasure but also to avoid pain. Two separate sections of your brain handle pleasure and pain, so this is where it can get challenging. Delayed gratification is challenging. But there are several benefits to not succumbing to an immediate reward. Better health, improved self-worth and overall long-term success with goal setting are just a few. Listen in as I share 4 ways to delay gratification. Get the book "The Marshmallow Test: Why Self-Control Is the Engine of Success" by renowned psychologist Walter Mischel YouTube video of The Marshmallow Test (1970) by Walter Mischel, a professor of psychology at Stanford University, and his graduate student, Ebbe Ebbesen If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox. Sign up for the next Follow-Through Challenge Follow me on Social Media:Amy on IGAmy on Facebook Resources:AmyLedin.comLean Bodies Consulting (LBC)LBC University

The Marshmallow Test is a psychological study that was first performed by Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University. These studies were done to test delayed gratification and was designed to follow the children into their adult years. Would these young children who could delay gratification at an early age have a better chance of being successful later in life? These studies found that the children who were willing to wait scored higher on their SAT's, had higher GPAs in college, and a higher annual income as adults. Danny and Kurt will consider these studies and discuss how delayed gratification is a part of God's will for our lives.

Focusing on the more rewarding long term gain is important compared to the immediate gain you can get today. He goes over the popular marshmallow experiment conducted by Walter Mischel which detailed how students reacted to instant and delayed gratification. Kevin also explained the concept behind time preference and how it plays a vital role with our decision making everyday.Each financial choice we make everyday either lower's or increases our time preference. When an individual is able to lower their time preference, they have a better quality of life because they are not worrying about  money. They have accumulated capital over a long period of time and they now can focus on other areas in their life that gives them a higher purpose. When individuals higher their time preference, they don't have the luxury of doing other things that give them meaning. Nor can they be more productive. They continue to stay on the hamster wheel.

As parents and people, we tend to seek out certainty. We keep our kids in the same schools so they can have consistent friends. We cook the same group of recipes, so we're sure to have something ready for dinner without too much stress. And we encourage our kids to study hard so they'll be sure to get good grades, get into a good college, and get a good job. We feel that if things are certain, we can live comfortably without worrying about our teens too much…even if it can get a little boring!But what about mystery? Could adding a little bit of unpredictability into our lives make us happier? Might it prepare our teens better for the complicated world ahead? The truth is that uncertainty can be good for us…even if we try our best to make our lives predictable! Our guest this week champions uncertainty…in fact, he believes we should all encourage ourselves and our teens to incorporate a little mystery into our lives.This week, we're sitting down with Jonah Lehrer, author of Mystery: A Seduction, A Strategy, A Solution. Jonah is a neuroscientist who's written multiple bestselling books, as well as contributed to The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and more! After discovering his son's fascination with mystery, Jonah dove into research about the effects of unpredictability on the adolescent mind. Now, he's here to talk about just how powerful uncertainty can be!In our interview, Jonah explains why curiosity is an essential component of effective teen learning, and we discuss the importance of experiencing awe for both adolescents and adults.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Michael Goldstrom who is the founder and CEO of GetMotivatedBuddies. He explains how his battle with ADHD and what he learned while working as an actor, narrator, and voice artist combined to inspire him to set up a new style of support network. One that is based on behavioural psychology and has already helped nearly 15,000 people to achieve difficult goals that many had failed to achieve previously. Michael explains how acting taught him to look at and understand the motivation of the characters he played. A skill he was then able to use on himself to identify what was holding him back. He and Jennette discuss the methods he then employed to break bad habits and finally move forwards. If you have difficult goals that you are struggling to achieve this podcast will be helpful.   KEY TAKEAWAYS We can all develop into the person we want to be. Explore ways of managing your life to find what works for you. Most people suffer from information overload. The way social media algorithms work is leading to people living a life that does not align with their core beliefs. Michael explains why that is in the podcast. Not being able to filter out things so you can focus on what is important leads to information overload and physical issues. As you progress towards your goals evaluate how you are feeling as well as how you are progressing. Having buddies to support you through change greatly improves your chances of succeeding in forming a new positive habit. View yourself holistically, often improving one thing will have a positive impact on multiple areas of your life. GetMotivatedBuddies is aligning people who want to help people, with those who are actively seeking that kind of support. The platform does much more than just provide accountability partners. It also challenges you and does so in a positive way.   BEST MOMENTS ‘There are three steps – human belief, direction (a goal), and steps that take you there.' ‘The misalignment of our daily actions with our beliefs is precisely why people are lonelier.' ‘It´s very important to have a system in place to evaluate where we are at in life and check how we´re feeling.'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

There are several quintessential psychology experiments whose notoriety transcend beyond college Intro Psych Courses. Walter Mischel's “Marshmallow Test,” as it became popularized as, was no exception. The seminal study gave kids a chance to wait for preferred items or demonstrate limited self-control by selecting a less-preferred option earlier. Mischel and his colleagues, as well as several follow-up studies, sought to determine the longitudinal value of their results on predicting academic and behavioral success. While initially there seemed to be a positive correlation, later examinations of the data and sample population have criticized its lack of representation to that of other factors in America such as socioeconomic status, education level, ethnicity, etc. More recent evaluations have scrutinized the same data alongside more potent environmental factors, suggesting that there might be far more to the story than simply being patient for a marshmallow in preschool.

El ejemplo arquetípico del sacrificio es para Occidente el de Abraham inmolando a su hijo Isaac o el de Jesús en la cruz. Es decir, renunciando a lo más querido y al mayor de sus apegos. A mayor sacrificio más abundantes las bendiciones recibidas, en ese sentido dejarlo todo es el máximo sacrificio. De hecho, el verdadero sacrificio incluye una muerte a la vieja personalidad viejo y el nacer simultáneo la nueva personalidad, refinada y sutilizada. Nuestras mayores posesiones son las mentales, incluso nuestros defectos que son advertidos por el propio interesado que los toma como cosas cotidianas e inofensivas. Cualquier cosa puede ser una posesión aunque todas se pueden reducir a la pequeñez y la tontera, es decir a la ignorancia que es el lastre mayor para cualquier persona, o la negación de lo que es. La idea de pecado debe tomarse como la de equivocación en un sentido estricto, sacrificar el demonio de la estupidez es sacrificar prácticamente todos los lastres que nos impiden la partida ascendente. Perderse es una forma sacrificial porque de ese modo se encuentra el camino. Los griegos también lo veían como símbolo de purificación y aun de imploración que se constituía en una inmolación del sacrificador. En este sentido, en todos los casos el sacrificador es también el sacrificado, o sea que desde la perspectiva iniciática no hay mayor sacrificio que el de uno mismo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sufismo.org.ar/ http://editorayerrahi.com.ar/store/ YouTube: Orden Sufi Halveti Yerrahi Instagram: Orden Sufi Halveti Yerrahi Facebook: Orden Sufi Halveti Yerrahi Facebook: Editorial Yerrahi

The psychologist Walter Mischel was a professor at Stanford University in the late 1960s and early 1970s who did a series of studies on delayed gratification. Mischel gathered a group of 4-6-year-old children and gave each child a marshmallow. He told them that he was leaving the room for 15 minutes and if the marshmallow was still there when he returns he would give them another marshmallow. When he did further studies on these same children twenty years later, he found that those who were able to delay gratification and not eat the marshmallow when they were children had, when they grew up, much higher S.A.T. scores, were much healthier, and were more financially and socially successful.

The experimenters put a marshmallow in front of a child with one simple instruction, “you can eat this marshmallow now, or if you wait, when I come back, I'll give you two marshmallows…” The experimenters then watched as these kids who were tormented by the marshmallow in front of them. It's pretty funny to watch them squirm and twist around, some of them taking little nibbles of the marshmallow or squishing it trying their hardest not to eat the marshmallow… TAKE THE TURN:I was reading in the scripture the other day and noticed something I'd never seen before… Listen to what happens next:It's the book of Act's the story of the church starting out - lots of supernatural thing are happening. There is a guy named Cornelius who is Jewish, not a Christian, but He's faithful to God and prays and is generous to the poor - God sends an angel to him…Acts 10:4-64 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. 5 Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.” Here is what struck meGod was actually paying attention to the way Cornelius lived his life Did you see it?“Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.” I immediately thought of the marshmallow experiment - these researchers were giving these kids something and watching what they did with it… Now, I'm not trying to suggest that we are all involved in some grand experiment from God. But it got me thinkingWhat does scripture says about the way God looks at those who are generous with what they have… You might not know this, but because of Cornelious's generosity, he became the first non-Jewish person to be baptized as a Christian and you and I are literally sitting in this room because of the barriers that were broke down because of him.-and it all started with him being a man of prayer and being generous to the poor So, what does the scripture say about how God sees the generous?Can I take you on the journey of what I found? God sees your generosity as an indicator that you are ready for more.Jesus has just got done telling the parable of the shrewd manager - I referenced it a couple weeks ago. You might remember this part, He says to use your worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves…and it is right after this, that Jesus says this… Listen closely. Luke 16:10-1210 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own? Jesus is saying that the “little” - the thing of no consequence that He's watching how we handle it is worldly wealth worldly wealth = the little thing “So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?“ This shouldn't shock you, God is watching the way you handle a little thing like “money” to see if you are worthy of handling more, something of significance like impacting lives for the Kingdom. There's a principle hereGetting more from God starts with giving more for God as I went on this hunt, I found this principle all through scripture: Listen to these passages: 2 Corinthians 9:6-116 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”[a]10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. Paul is saying that God is looking to bless those who bless. He's using an illustration from agriculture - that the more seeds you put in the ground, the larger the harvest you will reap. Or what about what Jesus said, listen to this:Luke 6:37-3837 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Over and over again the message seems to be that God doesn't give toGod didn't give to give TO you, He gave to give THROUGH YouThis is Living for God 101 And the idea is very clear, that God is watching the way we handle the resources He has placed in our hands to see what we do with them… Whether we are faithful, even with a little… CLOSING ILLUSTRATION:Over and over again I've seen God provide as I have stepped out to trust Him with my whole life and advance His Kingdom. When I was first in ministry I was working for a youth center to tell kids who were far from God about Jesus, and I had to raise my own salary. I could have been making pretty decent money in any other job, but I chose to follow God in this endeavor. The problem is, no one wants to support a college student. After I paid my bills monthly, I had about $50 for food for the entire month. I was trying to be tough and not tell anyone, but it was a struggle, I'll never forget the time I went to Dairy queen, I only had a quarter but my friends wanted to go and I didn't want to tell them that was all the money I had left. I just told them I wasn't hungry. They had one of those things you could drop the quarter in and if it landed on the arm you got a free peanut buster parfait. I prayed over that quarter and dropped it in. and it landed on the arm. I almost started crying! It was getting pretty bad. One day I'm at the front desk of the youth center - I had moved into it in order to try and make it. Everyone thought I was foolish, but I was trying to honor God. I'm sitting there and a guy comes to the desk and he says, “do you guys like pizza?” I was like, “of course I like pizza” He said, well good, we had a semi full of frozen pizzas that dumped over and we can't use them, do you want them? We loaded every freezer we had with frozen pizzas and I'm telling you, I ate frozen pizza for months for every meal. It was like Mana from heaven. The day the pizza ran out, this is no joke, I got a letter form this sweet family that had been praying about it and felt led to start supporting my ministry again. And I had enough money to eat. Here's what I've learned. God is looking for us all to be faithful with what we've been givenHe's watching waiting to see what we'll do with the marshmallow that's been put in front of us… Except for him the question isn't whether we will eat it, it's whether we will give it away. As I've gotten older, I've had the privilege of being on the other side of the equation now and to be the one who sends the check saying, “we were praying and felt like we were supposed to give this to you.” What about you?Here's what I want to encourage you to do today - a take home if you will I want to challenge you to develop a strategy to be generous-that may mean sitting down and prayerfully setting aside a portion of your income for God's kingdom-it may mean starting to intentionally watch for opportunities to be generous-it may mean you start a journey to study the scripture on your own about generosity But what I want to ask of you is that you will do something!

What is delayed gratification?  Back in the 1970's a psychologist named Walter Mischel performed an experiment on children to monitor their behaviour.  He placed a marshmallow in front of them and told them if they didn't eat that marshmallow by the time he came back in the room, they could have two.  You may have seen something similar doing the rounds on social media with parents trying a temptation test on their children.  The idea behind the experiment was to see if the children could resist having something pretty good right now, to gain something even better in the future.  That's delayed gratification.  Here's what to expect on this week's property podcast episode  Believe it or not, delayed gratification plays a part in investing today. It means having money now, and not spending it so your life can be better in the future.  So in this week's episode The Robs are going to share some real life examples of why it can be damaging not to delay gratification, and are also sharing their thoughts on how you can do it more successfully.  In these real life examples we'll hear about one family who spent every penny they had coming in.  They would buy fancy cars, live in a big house, go on expensive holidays, but they didn't have a savings pot for a rainy day.  On the other hand we have a guy who's worked hard for eight years and sometimes thought about giving up. But he didn't, he persevered and now he has his 10th property and is financially independent.  How can delayed gratification affect your property investment dreams?  Unfortunately, the majority of the country works like the first example.  We want everything handed to us, we want things quicker and we want them now. A lot of us aren't willing to wait for the things we want, we're a pretty impatient generation.  And of course, social media can play a big part in this. You may see someone on social media that's living out your property investment dreams, or it at least looks that way. But it might not actually be true.  Sometimes your ego can get in the way of this. You may feel like you're in competition with other people who are doing the same thing as you. And that's where your downfall will be.  So, how can your ego and delayed gratification affect your property investment dreams?  Tune in to find out.   In the news This week we've got two news stories for you that we couldn't not talk about.  The first is ‘Boris Johnson plans 95 per cent mortgage scheme'. In the latest conference a few weeks ago Boris Johnson seemed to put property at the top of the agenda and introduced generation buy.  In a nutshell, this seems to be a rebranded Help to Buy scheme trying to encourage mortgage providers to offer 95% mortgages.  The second news story we wanted to share is ‘House prices soar by 7.3% in September' from the Halifax. This is the steepest annual increase since June 2016 according to their latest index. It's absolutely bonkers that this is happening during a pandemic and we'll certainly be going into more detail on this in the market update in a few weeks time.   Hub Extra For Hub Extra this week we've got a quote that ties in pretty well with today's podcast topic and it's from Abraham Lincoln. ‘Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most'. It's all about what you want the most in the world and if you're able to make short term sacrifices in order to obtain the thing you want the most.    Let's get social We'd love to hear what you think of this week's Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you'd like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we'll see what we can do.

This experiment was a study on delayed gratification in 1972 led by psychologist Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University. In this study, a child was offered a choice between one small but immediate reward, or two small rewards if they waited for a period of time. During this time, the researcher left the room for about 15 minutes and then returned. In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes in many areas. It was a controversial study that we had a lot of fun discussing. Sponsors: Previnex is a supplement brand that I trust, use, and have greatly benefited from.

One of Maria's biggest influence as an undergrad was Steven Pinker, who she studied under while at Harvard. The family resemblance is easy to see. She is so confident, smart, driven, and competent that it can at times verge on overwhelming. She earned her PhD in psychology from Columbia, where she studied under famous psychologist Walter Mischel. Eventually she went on to become a staff writer at the New Yorker. But lots of people get their PhD. Lots of people write for high profile magazines. What makes Maria truly unique is that she is the only writer ever to take leave of a job at the NYer to pursue a career as a professional poker player. This sabbatical is the subject of her new book, The Biggest Bluff. I am tremendously excited to her it the moment it comes out. Maria is a huge inspiration to me, and it was a great pleasure to have her on the show. We talk about her childhood as a Russian immigrant in America, the two crucial lessons she learned from Steven Pinker, the steps she took to establish herself as a writer, how she convinced Walter Mischel to take her on as a grad student by going against the conventional advice, what inspired her to get into taking on the subject of Sherlock Holmes in her first book, and the origins of her interest in poker and risky decision-making. Ultimately, I think the big lessons of Maria's fantastic career are not so difficult to understand. She wanted to be a writer. So what did she do? She wrote a lot. When she needed a further experience (e.g., getting her PhD, becoming a poker player) to serve her material, she went ahead and did it. There's no doubt about it: Maria has done the work.

In the 70s, Walter Mischel began the experiment that we all know and love, and which became one of the most famous psychological experiments of all time. At the time, he wanted to explore the relationship between a child’s patience and ability to wait and their success later in life. To conduct the experiment, he sat four-year-old children in front of a marshmallow and told them they had a choice. They could eat the marshmallow right away, or, they could wait 15 minutes at which point they would receive an additional marshmallow.

And Radiolab favorite Jonah Lehrer helps us make sense of the results. This one's all about our will power (or lack thereof).   Correction: An earlier version of this piece incorrectly stated that the kids who performed better on the marshmallow test had higher GPAs in high school and went to better colleges. Those elements were not a part of Mischel’s original study. The audio has been adjusted to reflect this fact.

Do you have the will power to keep from buying that stock too early? Humans need the will power to delay gratification - how do we get it? Discipline is important to success. Walter Mischel’s, research which is commonly called the “Marshmallow Test” with preschoolers and self-control provides great insight. Video of Marshmallow Experiment https://youtu.be/Rwxf1BTyKz4. Although, discipline is the key, such as waiting to buy or sell that stock at the perfect moment. Some of the toddlers in the Marshmallow experiment who ate the Marshmallow right away, went on to have metoric careers. What is most important is getting the timing correct and having a plan. Another tip with self control, is being aware of the environment and having a diversity of skills, which helps with avoiding groupthink biases.

Dr. Inzlicht conducts research that sits at the boundaries of social psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience. Although he has published papers on the topics of prejudice, academic performance, and religion, his most recent interests have been in the topics of self-control, where he borrows methods from affective and cognitive neuroscience to understand the underlying nature of self-control, including how it is driven by motivation. In this episode, we focus most of our conversation of self-control and things related to it. First, I ask about social neuroscience, and what Dr. Inzlicht thinks are the kinds of insights we can get from neuroscience about social psychology phenomena. We then get into self-control, and talk about what is it, and the concept of self-control strength. We address a paper from 2018 that tried to replicate Walter Mischel's marshmallow test, and the capacity to delay gratification. We also refer to one aspect of the recent APA guidelines for psychological practice with men and boys, namely the repression/suppression of emotions. Still about self-control, we discuss the interplay between emotion and cognition, the life outcomes associated with this ability, and if there are any good interventions proven to improve it. We then tackle aspects of the replication crisis in Psychology, and go through some examples of phenomena that have recently been questioned, like the ego-depletion effect and stereotype threat. -- Follow Dr. Inzlicht's work: Personal website: http://bit.ly/2REaBTV Two Psychologists Four Beers podcast: http://bit.ly/2PAjLy3 -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, VEGA GIDEY, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, DAVID DIAS, ANJAN KATTA, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, MAX BEILBY, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, AND SIMON COLUMBUS!

登山、滑雪、潜水、高空跳伞、国外代购、环球旅行、按摩SPA……对很多人而言,任何一个选择都是让他们活得更有意思的理由。每个人都在感叹:这真是一个“值得”剁手的世界。弗洛伊德曾说:“人类是充满欲望并受欲望驱使的动物。”人类为了满足自己不断产生、永无止尽的欲望而不断奋斗。与“双11”、“双12”不同的是,日益临近的新春佳节作为一个特别的存在,尤其能激发起男女老少的消费欲。可是,又有几个能斗得过消费欲?一、金钱到底对我做了些什么? 在人类演化的数百万年历史中,99%的时间都没有“钱”这个概念,直到近三四千年,“钱”才出现在人类的生产和生活中。如今,我们常常会说谈钱伤感情,谈钱庸俗,但是钱就是一个谁都绕不开的问题。谁都不能摆脱没“钱”的生活。有多少钱算有钱?如果让你用一个数字标准去定义“有钱”,相信每个人都会做出不一样的定义。不过不用问也知道,这个数字肯定不小。如果去问当代的年轻人最向往的词是什么?那一定是“财务自由”。那么问题来了:赚多少才能达到财务自由?在一次节目中,作家马家辉曾说过,所谓有钱,其实就是你的欲望永远比财富少一块钱,否则你永远不可能有钱。财务自由的最大障碍其实就是:日益增长的欲望,总比自己日益增长的收入多出那么一丢丢。所以,希望早日实现财务自由,也要学会控制自己的欲望。2009年,《心理科学》期刊发表了一篇研究称,数上几遍钱可以减轻“身痛”和“心痛”,而且不仅如此——数钱还能提升你的精神力,让你变得更为勇敢自信。不过,研究人员还发现了与此相对的现象:人们在看到他们最近的花销时,会表现出更强的身心焦虑。二、晚一点“幸福”,好吗?时代越进步,人们的消费欲就越旺盛。今年,“隐形贫困人口”在网上特别火。根据网络定义,隐形贫困人口是指那些看起来每天有吃有喝,但实际上非常穷的人。这是一群什么样的人呢?他们可能用着最新款的手机,穿着当季的流行时装,吃饭不是西餐就是日料,随时都能来一场说走就走的旅行,并且满世界打卡、满世界拍照。就是这样的一群人,他们花钱,付账的却是信用卡、花呗、白条、平安普惠等等信用卡和第三方借贷平台。奇怪的是,就是这样的词,也有很多人都选择对号入座。法兰克福学派理论家马尔库塞曾提出过“真实需要/虚假需要”的概念。真实需求是人本性自主的需求。比如最基本的衣食住行需要,以及和自己经济实力相匹配的高品质消费等等。虚假需求是超出自身消费能力的需求。尤其个体受到社会观念的影响,会误以为自己也理应享有更高的消费水平,这种偏离现实的观念,往往是很多因素的诱导。在很多年轻人眼中,那个“看起来更好的生活”,极具吸引力。虽然很多人并没有能力满足自己的理想生活,但是超前消费,能让他们暂时得到理想的生活。一些人觉得超前消费好,他们觉得可能负债压力会激励人上进,努力也许还有意外的红利。也有一些人觉得超前消费不好,很容易让经济状况更脆弱,让人陷入到入不敷出的境地。你会怎么选择呢?科学表明:要想在未来生活幸福,你就要推迟享乐,进行长期打算。很多人都还记得20世界60年代,美国斯坦福大学心理学教授沃尔特·米歇尔(Walter Mischel),为了研究意志力在人一生中的作用,设计的“棉花糖”实验,并且依次提出了“延迟满足。”延迟满足的人,甘愿为更有价值的长远结果而放弃即时满足,即自控力更强。张一鸣说过:“延迟满足感本质是克服人性弱点,而克服弱点,是为了更多的自由。”我们绝大部分人,都很难克服自身的弱点,也很难抵挡住诱惑。能控制自己及时享乐的欲望,就是一种高级的自律。延迟满足,不是要我们都去过苦行僧的生活,而是在于延迟满足与我们当下状态的平衡。我们不应该一直活在别人或多数人对于金钱的固有经验里,不加以思考判断,遗忘了我们本可以做出自己的选择。三、聪明消费,过个好年新年的脚步越来越近了。春节期间,很多商家会通过预付式消费吸引消费者。有句老话说得好:“吃不穷、穿不穷,算计不到就受穷。”如何做到聪明花钱?我们可以参考全球零垃圾运动的发起人贝亚·约翰逊(Bea Johnson)提出的原则。第一个原则是refuse,拒绝。第二个原则是reduce,减少。第三个原则是reuse,是看看现在有的东西有没有可能重复使用。第四个原则是recycle,回收。现在很多城市的小区都有衣物回收箱。自己穿不了的,同时仍然很好的衣服送到回收箱,可以提供给别人去使用。改革开放40年,我们的收入、生活质量、生活环境等发生翻天覆地的改变。我们的消费观念也在不知不觉中发生了很大变化。如今,每个人对自己生活的期望都不一样,不管是追求精致生活,还是追求闲云野鹤,或者是追求分秒必争,我们仍然需要认真工作,努力赚钱,才能把生活过成我们想要的样子。本文节选自笔记侠原创文章,作者:牟小姝 本期编辑:晴天 主播:晴天

When psychologist Walter Mischel published the findings of his famous marshmallow study, showing the impact of delayed gratification on a child’s future success, it changed how people raised their kids. But in the nearly 50 years since the study was published, questions have been asked about our ability to truly look ahead. Is teaching a child delayed gratification really all there is to making sure they succeed? How well can we predict the future? Bina Venkataraman, author of “The Optimist's Telescope: Thinking Ahead in a Reckless Age” looks at the strategies we use, and how good we genuinely are at predicting the future. And although studies like Mischel’s may make us think we have it all figured out, Venkataraman says in reality we’re not as good as we think.

Natalia recommended this American Conservative article on the limits of television crafting. Ten years after the economic crash of 2008, its effects are still felt. Natalia cited M.H. Miller’s New York Times essay, “I Came of Age During the 2008 Financial Crisis. I’m Still Angry About It”. Neil recommended the New York Times’ entire Sunday Business section’s retrospective on this topic. Social psychologist Walter Mischel, best known for orchestrating the “marshmallow test” that famously connected children’s ability to delay gratification with their long-term prospects for success, has died. Natalia referred to Oscar Lewis’ 1961 book, Children of Sanchez: Autobiography of a Mexican Family.    In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed Stanford University’s decision to remove the name of Junipero Serra from a major building and street. Neil reflected on Sigal Samuel’s Atlantic article, “The Sex-Abuse Scandal is Growing Faster Than the Church Can Contain It.” Niki shared Nadra Nittle’s Vox article, “Students Are Waging War On Sexist and Racist Dress Codes – And They’re Winning.”

The Marshmallow Test is one of the most famous experiments in Psychology: Dr. Walter Mischel and his colleagues presented a preschooler with a marshmallow.  The child was told that the researcher had to leave the room for a period of time and the child could either wait until the researcher returned and have two marshmallows, or if the child couldn’t wait, they could call the researcher back by ringing a bell and just have one marshmallow.  The idea was to figure how delayed gratification develops, and, in later studies, understand its importance in our children’s lives and academic success. Dr. Mischel and his colleagues have followed some of the children he originally studied and have made all kinds of observations about their academic, social, and coping competence, and even their health later in life. But a new study by Dr. Tyler Watts casts some doubt on the original results.  In this episode we talk with Dr. Watts about the original work and some of its flaws (for example, did you know that the original sample consisted entirely of White children of professors and grad students, but the results were extrapolated as if they apply to all children?).  We then discuss the impact of his new work, and what parents should take away from all of this. As a side note that you might enjoy, my almost 4YO saw me open my computer to publish this episode and asked me what I was doing.  I said I needed to publish a podcast episode and she asked me what it was about.  I told her it’s about the Marshmallow Test and asked her if she wanted to try it. She is, as I type, sitting at our dining room table with three marshmallows on a plate in front of her, trying to hold out for 15 minutes.  We’re not doing it in strictly; we are both still in the room with her, although we’re both typing and ignoring her and asking her to turn back toward the table when she asks us a question. She keeps asking how many minutes have passed, which I imagine (as I tell her) is quite helpful to her in terms of measuring the remaining effort needed.  She seems most torn between wanting to continue building her Lego airport and the need for the three marshmallows.  She has sung a bit, and smelled the marshmallows a bit, and stacked them into a tower, but she is mostly trying to ignore them and is counting as high as she can. 14 minute update [quiet, despairing voice]: “I’ve been waiting for so long…” She did make it to 15 minutes (that’s her devouring the third marshmallow in the picture for this episode), although I wonder if she might not have without the time updates.  We’ll have to try that another day:-)   References Bembenutty, H., & Karabenick, S.A.

Up until about six years ago, I hated running. I had to run when I was in school to condition for swimming. I hated it. But, it's convenient! It accomplishes a lot in a relatively short period of time and can be done almost anywhere. After I was no longer swimming competitively, every so often I'd think about the benefits of running and I'd decide I was going to be a runner. Yep, I was going to do it! This happened about every three to five years. So, I'd pick a date, I'd lace up my shoes, I'd head out the door with my enthusiasm. And, I'd hate every minute of it. I'd want to die. If I was really hardcore about it that time, I might last three days. About six years ago, I was watching Darren Hardy talk about the differences between how successful people behave and how unsuccessful people behave. He said one thing that changed my attitude about running. He said that everyone has things they don't like to do. Successful people don't like the things that are hard any more than unsuccessful people do. They just do them anyway. They just do them anyway! And I realized that I don't have to like to run. If it works best for my schedule and lifestyle, I just needed to do it anyway. That fundamentally changed my expectations about how I feel about running. I decided to start running again. But, this time, I did it differently. I learned how to start running. I got a Couch to 5K app and started slowly, increasing my run to walk ratio gradually. I gave myself a goal of running a particular race hosted downtown by my favorite hockey team…a Nashville Predators shirt was incentive swag. And I began to post run photos online and arranged to do the race with friends. This time, I was successful. I did the race. I had a great time and I've been running off and on ever since. The really funny thing is, that I really do enjoy it far more than I ever expected to. I tried repeatedly to make that change in my life and failed pretty miserably. And then, I finally succeeded. Fluke? No. I did all the wrong things for the wrong reasons all the times I failed and I increased the odds significantly the time I was successful. Some of the things I did hint at some of the ways you can increase the odds of making changes successfully. We're going to talk about those strategies in the upcoming weeks. This week, I want to dispel a few myths about change so that we're all starting from the same place. Myth #1: If I have enough willpower, I can change. If I don't, I can't. Wrong. If you have a tremendous amount of willpower, that's awesome and it certainly will help you. But, for the rest of us mere mortals with willpower that crumbles in the face of a single Reese cup, the good news is that willpower doesn't have to be the deciding factor in whether you succeed or fail! In 1962, Walter Mischel did a study that put a marshmallow in front of children who were instructed not to eat it for 15 minutes. If they held out for the whole time, they received another marshmallow, doubling their treasure. Most kids couldn't resist, but the minority that did went on to be more successful in life. This study was interpreted for years to show that intrinsic self-discipline and willpower was a key factor to success in life. But, what if that was too simple a conclusion? What if there was another factor involved? Recently some researchers at Change Anything Labs reworked this experiment. They ran it exactly the same way the original was done and got the same results. Turns out human nature hasn't changed in fifty years. Shocking, right? But, then they did something different. They taught the kids some strategies for dealing with the temptation in front of them. And the kids actually put those strategies to use. They really wanted that second marshmallow, they just didn't have the skills to know how to avoid eating the one in front of them. This time, many more of them won the marshmallow stare down and 50% more of them walked away with two marshmallows clutched in little hands. Sticky little hands. We learn from this that experiment that willpower can be supplemented by skills and strategy. And that's what the next three weeks are going to be about. Strategies that will increase the odds of your success tenfold. Myth #2: Change is an event. I need to change, I do and then voilà, I'm a new person! Wrong. Change is not an event, change is a process. When I failed in becoming a runner, I thought that what it would take for me to make that change was to make the decision to run and then to follow the oft-quoted slogan of running shoe giant, Nike. I'd just do it. But, that's not what it took. It took time for me to learn how to run. It took time for my body to adjust. It was a process of change that took months. And frankly, the first round of that Couch to 5K didn't really make me a runner. Repeating that process a few times did. There were milestones along the way. The first time I felt a runner's high. The first time I ran twenty minutes straight, without stopping or walking. The first race I did. Realizing that for me, running is therapy and not competition. The realization I didn't need to run fast or far to be a “real” runner. These things all took time. The physical, mental and emotional changes were all a process. Even now, it's a process. I've not been running in about six months and I want to start up again. But, the strategies I use might need to be different. I'm not in as good physical condition as I've been the last few times. My schedule is different. I've lost the built-in accountability of my workout group. The process goes on. Myth #3: I can approach change like an athlete: I train, I race, I win. Wrong. It's absolutely critical to approach change like a research scientist participating in a long-term experiment. If change is a process, we need to also understand that in that process, things almost certainly will go both right and wrong. We'll succeed and we'll fail. If we understand the process to be linear, we'll expect to head right out and eventually reach the end. Success! Unfortunately, that's not exactly how it happens. It often looks more like a tangled ball of yarn than a straight line between two points. There will be setbacks. Even when something works for a time, it may stop working. How you deal with those setbacks is absolutely crucial to your eventual success. Treat the process as a research scientist would. Do you remember the scientific method from school? Let me refresh your memory. You choose a topic or ask a question. In our case, a change you want to make. I want to be a runner. You create a hypothesis. I'm going to try to become a runner by following the instructions of the Couch to 5K app. You test the hypothesis. I tried the app. It mostly worked, but there were some things I really didn't like about it. Here's the critical part. You examine the results, revise the hypothesis and test again. I thought the Couch to 5K methodology was sound, I just didn't like the way they did it. So, I tried a different version, an app called Get Running. Same concept, different ramp-up schedule and Claire, with a lovely British accent telling me to get my tail in gear. Somehow, it's easier to do what she says when I hear it in an accent I like to listen to. It worked better for me. However, the schedule I was running on stopped working. I was running in the afternoons. Here in the South, that's just stupid after Mid-May, so I made another change and began running early in the morning to escape the heat. Those were simple, common sense changes I made in this example. But, had I not had an experimental attitude, I would have stopped at the first speed bump and just decided that it didn't work and I'd never be a runner. I would have missed out on the success and on all the benefits running has brought me over time. As we begin to make changes in our lives over the next few weeks, I want you to understand something. Just because you've not been successful before, doesn't mean you can't be. It means you haven't been successful yet. Let's try again, together. I'm going to give you some direction on how to get there, how to use the tools we've been talking about for the last few weeks and some strategies for success. I want you to approach it without relying on willpower, with the understanding that it's a process, that there will be ups and downs, wins and losses in that process and with the experimental attitude of a research scientist. Be willing to examine what you're doing and adjust. And keep making adjustments until you turn around one day and realize that you're a runner. Or, 50 pounds lighter. Or, a better wife. Or, whatever it is that you're trying to improve in your life. What is it that thing for you? If you worked through the What's Important series with me after the first of the year, you should know. If not, go back and listen to episodes 62, 63 and 64 and find the gaps between what's important to you and how you're currently living. Then we'll start tacking strategies for making changes next week!

La gratificación diferida es la capacidad de posponer una recompensa presente por una mayor en el futuro, que puede marcar el éxito o el fracaso en la vida de un individuo. Esto lo descubrió Walter Mischel, un psicólogo Austriaco quién siendo profesor de la Universidad de Stanford a finales de los 60´s, realizó el famoso Marshmallow Test, un interesante experimento realizado con niños entre los 4 a 6 años de edad a quienes de forma individual se les condujo a un cuarto libre de distracciones, en el que había una golosina de su predilección (una galleta Oreo, un malvadisco o un Pretzel) sobre una mesa y se les propuso una de dos opciones: tomar la golosina en ese momento o aguardar y recibir una adicional tras 15 minutos de espera, quedando solos en el cuarto con esta. En el lugar había cámaras para estudiar las reacciones de los niños. El resultado de este experimento es que sólo una tercera parte de los niños evaluados lograron postergar la recompensa y recibieron la golosina adicional. Tras 14 años de seguimiento, Mischel encontró que los niños que pospusieron la recompensa eran socialmente más competentes, tenían mayor éxito académico y se proyectaban a tener mayor éxito en la vida, que los que no lo hicieron. Esto es muy interesante, pues así como postergar la recompensa es fundamental para el éxito en la vida de un individuo, Lo es también para tener éxito financiero… Si quieres saber más, ingresa a: http://www.consejofinanciero.com/gratificacion-diferida/

Can you pass the marshmallow test? You’re a little kid. A marshmallow is placed on the table in front of you. You’re told you can eat it any time, but if you wait a little while, you’ll be given two marshmallows to eat. The kids who have the self-control to pass this most famous of psychological tests turn out to have more rewarding and productive lives. Walter Mischel, who first ran the test in the 1960s, spent the rest of his career exploring how self-control works, summarized in his 2014 book The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control. “The ability to delay gratification and resist temptation has been a fundamental challenge since the dawn of civilization,” he writes. “It is the ‘master aptitude’ underlying emotional intelligence, essential for constructing a fulfilling life.” This talk spells out the remarkable things have has been learned about willpower and self-control in the individual. It also considers wider implications. Does it make a difference when an organization or society has more people able to fully engage self-control? Does it make a difference when that kind of behavior is publicly expected and trained for explicitly? Is there a social or political or cultural level of surmounting marshmallow-test temptations? That might be the essence of long-term behavior.

Trust is the most fundamental building block of any relationship whether in business, politics, marriage, family or friendships. In the real world, trust signifies different things to different people but it frequently boils down to one point: trust is essential to your success. Once lost, rebuilding trust is one of the most difficult things to accomplish for the reason that the thought of the betrayal can forever haunt the aggrieved. Rebuilding trust is definitely tough, but it’s not something that can be ignored. There's a well-known psychological study, conducted by Walter Mischel in the 1960s, which explored delayed gratification in four-year-olds. Individually, children were seated in front of a marshmallow and the researcher told them that they could eat the marshmallow right then, but if they waited for the researcher to return from a brief errand, they would receive a second marshmallow. Some kids ate the marshmallow within seconds, but others waited up to 20 minutes for the researcher to return. 14 years later, the researchers found out that the children who had delayed gratification were more trustworthy, more dependable, more self-reliant and more confident than the children who had not controlled their impulses. Trust is largely an emotional act, based on a prediction of reliance. It is fragile, and as an egg shell, one slip can shatter it. Trust pervades every aspect of our everyday lives closely. It is fundamentally essential in the healthy functioning of all of our relationships with others. It is even tied to our wealth: in a Scientific American article, Dr. Paul J Zak, a neuroeconomist at Claremont Graduate University, found out that trust is between the strongest known predictors of a country's wealth: nations with low levels use to be poor. In line with Dr. Zak, societies with low levels of trust are poor, for the reason that the inhabitants undertake too few of the long-term investments that originate jobs and raise incomes. Such investments depend on people trusting others to fulfil their contractual duties. In searching to comprehend what was physically happening in the human brain that instilled trust, he found out that oxytocin, a hormone and neurotransmitter, increases our propensity to trust others in the absence of threatening signals. We are indeed wired to trust each other, but, as Dr. Zak points out, our life experiences may "retune" the oxytocin to a different "set point", and thus to different levels of trust all through the course of life. When we are brought up in a secure, nurturing and caring background, our brains release more oxytocin when somebody trusts us resulting in our reciprocating that trust. By contrast, early experiences of pressure, uncertainty and isolation interfere with the development of a trusting disposition and reduce oxytocin levels. In today's untrusting climate, it is not surprising that study after study shows a decline in the trust that individuals have in business and political leaders, and in institutions. The Edelman Trust Barometer for 2009 found out that nearly two out of every three adults surveyed in 20 countries trust corporations less now than they did a year ago. And a 2004 study by Towers Perrin, shows that only 44% of junior workers (those gaining less than $50,000 per year) trust their employers to say them the truth. This is an alarming statistic, specifically given how much time, effort and concern are expended in crafting leadership communications to workers. Even although we are faced with a disaster in trust, and have ample examples of leaders who have eroded their employees', customers' and shareholders' trust, I believe that the majority of leaders walk the path of trustworthiness. If truth be told, it might be harrowing for many leaders if they receive feedback that others do not find them trustworthy. But being trustworthy, in someone's eyes, consists of their own perceptions, and can be strongly influenced by the fracture of trust in the world around them. Indeed, people do not automatically trust leaders nowadays. Trust requires to be earned by means of diligence, fidelity and applied effort. If lack of trust is an issue which causes you concern, what can you do to deal with perceptions of trust? Here are some quick suggestions: Monitor your usage of "I" in your communications. Do an audit of your emails, for example, and see how normally you use "I" in preference to "we". Peter Drucker said: "The leaders who work most successfully, it gives the impression to me, never mention 'I.' And that's not for the reason that they have educated themselves not to mention 'I.' They do not think 'I.' They think 'we‘; they think 'team.' They comprehend their job to be to come to the team function. They accept obligation and do not sidestep it, but 'we‘ gets the credit. This is what builds trust, what permits you to get the activity done." Organizations commonly spend considerable energy and effort in team building initiatives; this includes workshops, retreats, and adventure type experiences. While all of these have their place, if organizations need to increase contribution and enhance teamwork, they need to get started with trust. It's the benchmark of healthy team relationships; it's a very basic process. It's all about individual pattern. Do individuals behave in a trustworthy manner or not? There is only a pass or fail here. And what are these behaviours? We all instinctively know them, but from time to time we require to call to mind ourselves of what they are. Ask yourself: Do I share information that I know is useful to others, or do I withhold it? Do I treat everyone with kindness and compassion? Do I try to do well in my dealings with others? Do I follow through on my commitments, though it is at considerable personal expense? Do I seize opportunities to encourage others? Am I just as glad about others' achievements as I am of my own? Do I consistently strive to deliver superb work? Is "candid" a quality people would readily characteristic to me? Trust is power. It's the power to inspire and influence. It's the glue that bonds us to each other; that strengthens relationships and turns threads of connections into steel cables. Like four-year-olds trusting that there will be a second marshmallow, can your people trust that your word is your bond? Leadership is complicated work. As George Washington told, "I can promise nothing but purity of intentions, and, in carrying these into the end result, fidelity and diligence." Seeking success? One thing is for certain, without trust, you will not succeed!

Later, in the 60’s at Stanford, he devised what's become known as the Marshmallow Experiment, to assess the ability of children to delay gratification.Since then, 50 years of in depth research have both enhanced and expanded the scope and knowledge that began with this simple experiment.  After all these years, Mischel has written about it in The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control.My conversation with Walter Mischel:

In this episode of the Cash Car Convert podcast I will recount a conversation I had with a business hardware leasing representative, review an instance commercial, and discuss the Stanford Marshmallow Test. I spoke to a leasing representative this week and talked to him about how he bought cars. It was an interesting discussion and I was surprised to find how he bought his cars. No, it wasn't leasing. He buys his cars by allowing dealers to respond to bid request. He started with 40 dealers. He finally got his car after much time and effort. He bought a $52,000 dollar car for $38,000. Saving him $14,000 in the process. The amount of work involved to do this leads me to believe it isn't something everyone can do or would do, but it worked for him. I was watching the Velocity Channel this past week and saw an interesting commercial. It was for Liberty Mutual Insurance. The car commercial started with a guy taking about buying a $40,000 car and it being t-boned by a minivan. He was $37,000 offered by insurance company. Depreciation they said. How can my car depreciate that quickly before its first oil change he asks? He then says maybe a better question is why am I with this insurance company? What!?! Really, that is the better question? I think not! The $3,000 loss is just the depreciation being realized. It was already gone, he just hadn’t financially realized the loss until the accident. People know this is how it works, but then seem to be surprised when it is reality. The Stanford Marshmallow Test is a series of test involving children between the ages of three and six. Dr. Walter Mischel a psychologist led the tests. In them, he would put a child in a room. A person would come in and offer the child a marshmallow, cookie, pretzel, or other item they could eat immediately. Or they could wait 15 minutes and get two treats. Most children couldn't wait. You don't fail the test. About 14 years later, Dr. Mischel revisited the children to see how they had progressed. What he found was that the children who had waited for the second marshmallow were getting a long better. They had better SAT scores, better grades, were more healthy, and generally happier. Joachim De Pasado gave a TED talk on the topic entitled "Don't Eat The Marshmallow."  In this talk, Mr. De Pasado discussed Dr. Mischel's findings and encouraged people not to eat the marshmallow. He also performed the same test on children in latin america to see how they could react. The video is priceless. There is also a Business Week article that discusses what the Stanford Marshmallow Test really tests. It cites a study done by University of Rochester. In this study, children were first shown the reliability of the care giver before the marshmallow test. This resulted in many more children delaying gratification when the care giver was reliable and many more eating the marshmallow when the care giver was unreliable. This would seem to indicate the security of the environment a child comes from is also a determinate in whether they are willing to delay gratification. The implications for you and me are we should make sure our children have a safe, secure, and reliable environment to allow them to achieve their best.  Make sure your child is growing up in such an environment.

Professor Gendler begins with a review of the situationist critique of virtue ethics,which claims that character plays only a minimal role in determining behavior. She then presents some countervailing evidence suggesting that certain personality traits appear to be quite stable over time, including work by Walter Mischel showing a strong correlation between an early capacity to delay gratification and subsequent academic and social success. Delayed gratification remains the topic of discussion as Professor Gendler shifts to Aristotle’s account of weakness of will and contemporary behavioral economics work on hyperbolic discounting. In the final segment of the lecture, drawing on work by Aristotle, Walter Mischel, George Ainslie and Robert Nozick, she presents several strategies for self-regulation: preventing yourself from acting on the temptation, manipulating incentive structures, and acting on principles.

Tiny, Reliable Indicators are Clockwork Angels A successful consultant uses small indicators to make big decisions. If he explains his methods to data-worshippers, he sounds like an idiot. When it later turns out that he was right, the doubters claim he was lucky, saying, “You can't possibly extrapolate that outcome from that data.” Consider the following: A large group of 4-year old children are led into a room, one at a time. The room is equipped with a two-way mirror. Each child is seated and given a marshmallow. “You can eat the marshmallow right now if you want. But if you wait until I come back to eat your marshmallow, I'll give you a second marshmallow to go with it.” The giver of marshmallows then leaves the child alone in the room. Is there anything we could learn from such a test? Could it tell us anything important about a child's future? One third of the children ate the marshmallow immediately.

Fourteen years later, at the age of eighteen, each of the original 216 children was located. Those who didn't eat the marshmallow scored an average of 210 points higher on the SAT (610 verbal and 652 math versus 524 verbal and 528 math.)
