Variations of the self-imposed delay-of-gratification situation in preschool were compared to determine when individual differences this may predict aspects cognitive and self-regulatory competence coping adolescence.
Delay of gratification, assessed in a series experiments when the subjects were preschool, was related to parental personality ratings obtained decade later for 95 these children adolescence. Clear and consistent patterns correlations between self-imposed delay time preschool found both sexes over this span. behavior predicted set cognitive social competencies stress tolerance with experimental analyses process underlying effective situation. Specifically, who able wait longer at age 4 or 5...
Psychological scientists draw inferences about populations based on samples-of people, situations, and stimuli-from those populations. Yet, few papers identify their target populations, even fewer justify how or why the tested samples are representative of broader A cumulative science depends accurately characterizing generality findings, but current publishing standards do not require authors to constrain inferences, leaving readers assume broadest possible generalizations. We propose that...
We examined the neural basis of self-regulation in individuals from a cohort preschoolers who performed delay-of-gratification task 4 decades ago. Nearly 60 individuals, now their mid-forties, were tested on "hot" and "cool" versions go/nogo to assess whether delay gratification childhood predicts impulse control abilities sensitivity alluring cues (happy faces). Individuals less able preschool consistently showed low self-control twenties thirties more poorly than did high delayers when...
In this longitudinal study, the proportion of time preschoolers directed their attention away from rewarding stimuli during a delay-of-gratification task was positively associated with efficiency (greater speed without reduced accuracy) at responding to targets in go/no-go more than 10 years later. The overall findings suggest that preschoolers' ability effectively direct tempting aspects rewards may be developmental precursor for perform inhibitory tasks such as Because performance on has...
In nomothetic analyses, the cross-situational consistency of individual differences in social behavior, assessed vivo a camp setting, dependent on similarity psychological features situations. As predicted by social-cognitive theory personality, idiographic analyses revealed that individuals were characterized stable profiles if ... then ...,situation-behavior relationships formed "behavioral signatures" personality (e.g., he aggresses when warned adults but complies threatened peers. Thus,...
Traditional approaches have long considered situations as “noise” or “error” that obscures the consistency of personality and its invariance. Therefore, it has been customary to average individual's behavior on any given dimension (e.g., conscientiousness) across different situations. Contradicting this assumption practice, recent studies demonstrated by incorporating situation into search for consistency, a new locus stability is found. Namely, people are characterized not only stable...
Rejection sensitivity (RS) is the disposition to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and intensely react rejection. This study used startle probe paradigm test whether affect-based defensive motivational system automatically activated by rejection cues in people who are high RS. Stimuli were representational paintings depicting (by Hopper) acceptance Renoir), as well nonrepresentational of either negative or positive valence Rothko Miro, respectively). Eyeblink magnitude was potentiated RS...
The implications of conceptualizing personality as a cognitive-affective processing system that functions parallel constraint satisfaction network are explored. Computer simulations show from dynamic interactions among the units in such network, set stable attractor states and functionally equivalent groups situations emerge, IF exposed to situation group X, THEN settles Y. This conceptualization explicitly models effect on given individual, therefore can also be used model function...
The components of self-regulation were analyzed, extending the self-imposed delay gratification paradigm to older children with social adjustment problems. Delay behavior was related a network conceptually relevant cognitive person variables, consisting attention deployment strategies during delay, knowledge rules, and intelligence. A positive relationship demonstrated between concurrent indexes intelligence, deployment, actual time. Moreover, measured as an individual differences variable...
When women express hostility, the target is typically a significant other. Our efforts to account for this observation center on role of rejection sensitivity—the disposition anxiously expect, readily perceive, and overreact rejection—in women's hostility. We have previously shown that dispositional anxious expectations about by other prompt perceive react with hostility in situations activate expectations. These findings led us propose such specific reaction perceived rejection. Results...
Commonplace situations that are seemingly innocuous may nonetheless be emotionally harmful for racial minorities. In the current article authors propose despite their apparent insignificance, these can and experienced as subtle racism when they believed to have occurred because of race. Study 1, Asian Americans reported greater negative emotion intensity encountered a situation race, even after controlling other potential social identity explanations. 2 replicated this finding confirmed...
A lack of interpretive power (i.e., the ability to understand individuals' experiences and behaviors in relation their cultural contexts) undermines psychology's understanding diverse psychological phenomena. Building requires attending influences research. We describe three characteristics research that lacks power: normalizing overgeneralizing from processes people Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic (WEIRD) contexts; making non-WEIRD invisible; misapplying WEIRD findings...
