棉花糖實驗：為何自制力是成功的關鍵


史丹福大學沃爾特·米歇爾博士1966年到1970年代早期在幼兒園進行的有關自制力的一系列心理學經典實驗。

在這些實驗中，小孩子可以選擇一樣獎勵（有時是棉花糖，也可以是餅乾、巧克力），或者選擇等待一段時間直到實驗者返回房間（通常為15分鐘），得到相同的兩個獎勵。

在後來的研究中，研究者發現能為偏愛的獎勵堅持忍耐更長時間的小孩通常具有更好的人生表現，如更好的SAT成績、教育成就、身體質量指數，以及其他指標。
然而現在有疑問提出，自制力(self-Control)，而非戰略策劃能力（strategic reasoning），是否是影響行為的因素之一。可是沒吃掉獎勵的人，通常都比吃掉的成功，因為他們都能克制自己，因此自制能力很強。

Renowned psychologist Walter Mischel, designer of the famous Marshmallow Test, explains what self-control is and how to master it. 

A child is presented with a marshmallow and given a choice: Eat this one now, or wait and enjoy two later. What will she do? And what are the implications for her behavior later in life?

The world's leading expert on self-control, Walter Mischel has proven that the ability to delay gratification is critical for a successful life, predicting higher SAT scores, better social and cognitive functioning, a healthier lifestyle and a greater sense of self-worth. But is willpower prewired, or can it be taught? 

In The Marshmallow Test, Mischel explains how self-control can be mastered and applied to challenges in everyday life--from weight control to quitting smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions, and planning for retirement. With profound implications for the choices we make in parenting, education, public policy and self-care, The Marshmallow Test will change the way you think about who we are and what we can be.
