This study is actually kind of sad, because upon further reflection on the data, it was found that the kids with "poor impulse control" were actually less likely to trust authority figures because they had experienced so many letdowns or broken promises from adult role models in their lives. Kids with happy home lives who were used to getting treats were way more likely to wait for the second marshmallow, whereas kids who had been consistently lied to or had never been given spontaneous treats by their caretakers were more likely to just take what was right in front of them.
Yep and now apply that to every life decision and suddenly the poverty cycle stops looking like a choice
Oh shit now I'm sad.
What about marshmallows with poor impulse control?
They'll jump in your mouth.
Ever heard of s'mores? Straight to the incinerator for those
Did anyone check if the 2 marshmellow kids were more prone to obesity in the future
They'd probably be less prone since they exhibited more self control.
Or they're just used to getting a lot of sugar for doing basic things
Just to confuse him, wait five minutes then eat just one of them.
The kid is smart, he gets an healthy dose of marshmallow now instead of a sickening quantity later
There is no such thing as a healthy dose of marshmallows. AMAS!
AMAS - All Marshmellows Are Slippery??
No, All Marshmallows Are Sickening
An apple a day keeps the social experiment away
God I hate having to upvote such heretic beliefs, but you did add to the conversation... albeit negatively....
Unlike methamphetamines...
Just curious... What would a healthy dose of methamphetamines be? Hypothetically, of course.
Whatever the doctor prescribed. A lot of ADHD meds are technically meth
Pretty sure that's not meth, those are amphetamine or dextro-amphetamine. I'm not a chemist but the meth part makes a biiig difference in my experience. I love Adderall once and awhile for busy days, cleaning, hiking, whatever, but the only time I did meth I geeked the fuck out for 14 hours and nearly beat my dick to death, woke up 2 days late enrolled in college (years after school with no intention of going to college lol). It was fun and easy to see how people get so strung out on it but I was far from functional.
Oh ye, that experiment was rather bad
Especially the version with carnivorous marshmallows!
big Aperture Science energy
"Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the test begins."
Wait, is this the version where the marshmallow would get either one or two kids to eat?
Calvin?
I prefer to think of him as "Subject C".
