关于糖果效应的英文作文【精选】
The candy effect was first propod by American psychologist Walter Michel, also known as the delayed gratification effect. It refers to a choice orientation that is willing to give up immediate gratification for more valuable long-term results and the ability of lf-control displayed in the waiting period.
In 1960, Walter Mischel, a psychology professor at Stanford University in the United States, designed a famous experiment on "delayed gratification", which was conducted in a kindergarten on the campus of Stanford University.
The rearchers asked dozens of children to stay alone in a small room with only one table and one chair. The tray on the table contained the children's favorite food: marshmallows, cookies or biscuit sticks. Rearchers told them that they could eat the marshmallow right away, or they could get another marshmallow as a reward when they came back. They can also ring the bell on the table, and the rearchers will return immediately when they hear the bell. For the children, the experimental process was quite painful.
Some children cover their eyes or turn their back to avoid looking at the tempting marshmallow. Others start to do some small actions, such as kicking the table, pulling their own braids, or even hitting marshmallow with their hands. As a result, most children give up in less than three minutes. About one third of the children successfully delayed their desire for marshmallow. They waited until the rearcher came back to cash the reward, which took about 15 minutes. Two thirds of the children cho to wait 20 minutes for two candies. Of cour, it is difficult for them to control their desires. Many children have to clo their eyes and wait foolishly to avoid being tempted by sugar, or put their arms around their heads without looking at sugar or singing or dancing. One third of children choo to eat a candy now. As soon as the experimenter left, they put the candy in their mouth within one cond.
After 12 years of tracking, every child who has survived 20 minutes (already 16 years old) has strong lf-control, lf affirmation, confidence, ability to deal with problems, and willingness to accept challenges; The children who choo to eat a piece of candy (also 16 years old) are hesitant, suspicious, and their lf-esteem is easily hurt.
The experiment proves that there are certain differences in the lf-control ability between people. The lf-control ability is a comprehensive ability for individuals to properly control and adjust their own behavior, suppress impuls, resist temptations, delay gratification, and unremittingly guarantee the realization of goals without external supervision.
The candy effect reveals a deeper problem - the important influence of endurance and lf-control on success or failure. There are no easy opportunities in life, and there is no overnight success. In order to achieve higher goals, we need to constantly accumulate experience and forge ahead. Just like the beasts lurking in the jungle, only by long waiting and patience, aiming at the prey to find opportunities, and finally struggling to catch up, can we get rich harvest.
