How Long Can You Resist A Marshmallow How Long Can You Resist A marshmallow. Meera Dolasis wrote an article explaining this. Did you know that scoffing down a marshmallow would affect your entire life?The University of Stanford scientist Walter Mishel proved this theory. He took a group of kids, ages 4-6 and put a desired snack food in front of them. Mishel wanted to see how long they could resist the treat. He told them if they could resist the treat for twenty minutes they would be rewarded with another. The kids that didn’t resist it for twenty minutes or more would not be rewarded. The children were observed from a one-way mirror. What they observed shocked them. Only the children tested, that were able to wait the required time had better resistance power. Years later the scientist contacted the parents of the kids that were tested and sent them a detailed questionnaire. What they found was that the children that had good resistance with the marshmallow when they were little were sense more competent. What they found more interesting was a few years later was that the kids that resisted the marshmallow when they were little had an average of about 210 points higher on their SAT scores than the other kids. They were also better at handling stress. When I first read the summary of this article it sounded really interesting. Now I’ve read the article I think that the whole purpose was a little dumb. I think they should possibly test a different theory.About 12 years agojessacialiked a comment in How Long Can You Resist A Marshmallow?.
