棉花糖实验是斯坦福大学沃尔特·米歇尔教授1966年到1970年代早期在幼儿园进行的有关自制力的一系列心理学经典实验。在这些实验中,小孩子可以选择一样奖励(有时是棉花糖,也可以是曲奇饼、巧克力等等),或者选择等待一段时间直到实验者返回房间,得到相同的两个奖励。在后来的研究中,研究者发现能为偏爱的奖励坚持忍耐更长时间的小孩通常具有更好的人生表现,如更好的教育成就、身体质量指数以及其他指标。
The marshmallow experiment is a series of psychology classic experiments on self-control made by Professor Walter Mitchell of Stanford University in kindergarten from 1966 to the early 1970s. In these experiments, children can choose the same reward (sometimes cotton candy, also can be cookies, chocolate, etc.), or choose to wait for a period of time until the experimenter returns to the room, get the same two rewards. In a later study, the researchers found that children who persevere for a longer period of time for favored rewards usually have better life performance, such as better educational achievement, body mass index, and other indicators.
