Has your Natural Behavior Been Modified?

[mainlymaryam]

Personality Before the late 1960s, personality was always defined as a list of individual behavioural traits that you inherited (genetically). Tests were put into place by psychologists as a way of predicting and understanding an individual’s behavior. For example, Cattell identified 16 personality traits, Eysenck only proposed 3 or 4 and then there were Tupes and Christal who suggested that there are 5 personality traits (the Big Five which I’ve mentioned in a previous post). To everyone’s (psychologists) surprise, in 1968, Mischel claimed that the ‘classic’ personality test was pointless. How did he come to this conclusion? He analyzed a number of studies that had ‘predicted’ behavior using personality tests and found that ONLY 9% were accurate. Focusing on external factors (e.g. context), Mishcel thought it was essential to examine the interaction between a person and the situation they were in. He believed the attributes of the situation a person was in and the manners used to deal with such situation influences one’s behavior. You may know Mischel through his infamous ‘marshmallow experiment’. Wanting to understand habits of thinking, the experiment tested the willpower of 4 year old children. They were provided with 1 marshmallow and were given two options: 1. eat immediately 2. wait 30 minutes and get an extra marshmallow As expected, some children waited and some couldn’t. Mischel contributed to monitor the children’s (from the experiment) progress into adolescence. Surprisingly (or not?), he found that those who ‘resisted temptation’ were more: dependable, psychologically aware, academic, social and confident. Thanks to Mischel, the way personality is studied shifted from ‘how personality predicts behavior’ to ‘how behavior reveals personality’. #socialsciencesunday #psychology #personality #bigfive #mischel #waltermischel #socialsciencessunday #marshmallowexperiment https://www.instagram.com/p/CWjpJ54ISwf/?utm_medium=tumblr

This was great fun to film! It is based on the Standford Marshmallow experiment, a study on delayed gratification that was conducted by psychologist, professor Walter Mischel back in 1972. In the study children were offered a small immediate reward or the choice to wait for the chance to get two small rewards. They had to wait for 15 minutes while the researcher left the room. If they could hold out until the researcher returned, they were given two rewards. At the time the study found that those children who were able to delay gratification tended to go on to have better life outcomes such as sat scores, educational attainment and a few other measures. However, later studies with more diverse populations showed much smaller effects, suggesting that economic background may have played an important part. #psychologytest #psychology #psychologyexperiment #psychologist #fascinatingfacts #marshmallowexperiment #mentalhealth #childdevelopment #childpsychology #therapist #understandingme #funpsychology #scienceforkids #sciencefun #sciencefacts (at London, Unιted Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmWsqtjfuO/?igshid=un178v8jymic

The marshmallow experiment. The kids reactions are cute though 😍. Comment down below which one was your favourite. Try it with your little ones 😉 . Follow @tapfornews for more Follow @tapfornews for more. . In 1972, Walter Mischel sought to figure out if deferred gratification can be an indicator of future success. He tested young children by placing a marshmallow in front of them and leaving the room. Before he left he told each participant that they would receive an additional marshmallow if the first one was there when he got back. A third of the children delayed their gratification. In follow up studies, those that one third of children received higher SAT scored than their peers and were significantly more competent! This supported the theory that deferred gratification can be used as an indicator of future success. #experiment #marshmallows #psychology #psycologyfacts #viralchallenge #challenge #kidsofinstagram #cutekids #swipeleft⬅️ #tryitout #marshmallowexperiment #marshmallowtest #trendingnow #instatrend #youngchildren #fruitsnackchallenge #selfcontrol #psychologist #thestrugglecontinues #growingandlearning #myheartismelting @parents #indianparents https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3YxDdFTcA/?igshid=13qr1s1hkc96z

Happiness - Now or Later?

In the late 60s and early 70s a well know study was undertaken at Stanford University called the Marshmallow experiment. Children were put in a room with a marshmallow in front of them and told that if they don't eat the marshmallow, they can have two later. I'm not sure what the results were, I think it was around 50/50, but that wasn't what was important. The children remained under observation for many years post the experiment and it was found that those who delayed gratification (didn't eat the marshmallow) were more successful in later life. I get on incredibly well with my brother, even though we have only lived in the same country for about one of the last ten years, and see each other around twice a year, we are very close. We are also very similar in a lot of ways, but, I've often thought, different in one key way: That is that I've always thought that you needed to do what you need to do in order to be happy (i.e. wait for two marshmallows) as demonstrated by my career in London, while he has always thought you should just be happy (i.e. eat the marshmallow) as demonstrated by... well... many things! Which of us has been happier I really couldn't tell you, we've both been fortunate enough to do incredible things, have both been and both are, extremely happy. Is his way of getting there better than mine or mine than his? I really couldn't say. Interestingly more recently we have come back to more similar paths: I quit everything in search of adventure, and he has a great job, is working incredibly hard and is smashing it up in the UK. As the marshmallow experiment showed I think it is vital to keep an eye on the future and to work towards longer term goals or one won't have the means to be successful or to be happy. But living too much for the future will ensure one thing alone; life will pass you by - you'll end up with a massive pile of marshmallows and no time to eat them! I don't pretend to have an answer but I know for my part I want to take a note out of my brothers book, and start living more for the day, while I would say he has taken one out of mine, and started to build and plan so he can achieve his goals in the future. I think the place I've got to is: "Live for today, with an eye on tomorrow". Let's see how we get on... (P.S. Bro, feel free to argue my perspective on the last 5+ years of your life!!!!)
