By:
The marshmallow experiment studies delayed gratification in children. Here is one example of a hypothesis you are able to form.
- Research question: Will children be able to delay gratification in order to receive a more valuable reward (2 marshmallows rather than one). Hypothesis: The number of children who are able to delay gratification in order to receive a larger reward will be significantly higher than the number of children who choose immediate gratification.
- Null Hypothesis: The number of children who delayed gratification was not significantly higher than those who chose immediate gratificaiton
- Instant Gratification Theory: This theory is based on the inherent desire for humans to seek pleasure and avoid pain. It states that human's will seek immediate gratification in order to seek the pleasure of gratification.
