Delay of gratification (DoG) and delay discounting (DD) are behavioral measures of self-regulation and impulsivity. Whereas DoG refers to the postponement of gratification, DD involves the devaluation of a reward over time. Previous studies have demonstrated associations between paternal...

The ability to delay gratification has been shown to be related to higher education and income and better health status. We study in an experiment with 336 kindergarten children, aged three to six years, whether intertemporal choice behavior is malleable. In a control condition, about 50% of...

We show the evolution of the delay of gratification (DG) of 951 students aged 10-14 years old during COVID-19-induced home-based online education by exploiting data from two waves of voluntary online surveys. Students with the highest socioeconomic status (SES) experienced a marginally...

A child's ability to resist temptation is an important non-cognitive skill and associated with lifetime benefits. Using a longitudinal dataset, this study links Chinese preschoolers' delay of gratification to their later scholastic performance during primary education. An empirical investigation...

When people learn to make decisions from experience, a reasonable intuition is that additional relevant information should improve their performance. In contrast, we find that additional information about foregone rewards (i.e., what could have gained at each point by making a different choice)...

We replicate the Stanford marshmallow experiment with a sample of 141 preschoolers and find a correlation between lack of self-control and 2D:4D digit ratio. Children with low 2D:4D digit ratio are less likely to delay gratification. Low 2D:4D digit ratio may indicate high fetal testosterone. If...

This paper applies cognitive-social theory to Green HRM, articulating a meta-theory based on cognitive-social HRM information processing (C-SHRIP) which centers on initiation and maintenance of green HRM behaviors. It focuses on managers' encodings, expectancies, affects, goals and values,...
