Those three are all the same piece of research.
Yes, sorry if that wasn't clear.
Those are all based on the marshmallow experiment. Is there anything beyond that?
Well, it's like 30 years of research and half of Walter Mischel's entire career!
Yes, I was worried it might sound like that. I know marshmallow experiment from previous HN submissions and it's quite interesting. I was just curious if there are any other interesting studies or theories that may have not been that popular but are worth knowing about. I'm certainly not trying to undermine Dr. Mischel's research.
