    棉花糖试验(1)

    看到一遍有意思的短文,40年前的一项心理实验,棉花糖理论。

    研究人员向小朋友们提供一项建议——他或她可以立即吃下一块棉花糖(棉花糖是其最爱零食),或者等候几分钟后能吃到两块棉花糖,然后他离开让孩子自己做出选择。研究显示,自我控制能力是人生能获得成功的重要特质・・・・・・5月18日的《纽约客》杂志上的一篇文章描述的就是Walter Mischel和他的棉花糖测试,以及参与测试儿童成年后的经历,揭开了一个秘密——见小利则无法成大事。

    这篇文章让我想起小时候的一件事。有“花市”(记不清了,难道是现在的“东花市”)商场出现了一项新业务,交400元押金,以后花很少的钱就可以换一盘游戏卡。那时候游戏卡一盘也要一百多元,这种换卡方式顶多几块钱非常吸引人。可是这项业务还要等一段时间才开始,我急不可待,特想马上玩到新游戏。妈妈给了我两个选择:现在就花一二百块钱买一盘新卡,马上就能玩到,但以后就不办“换卡”业务了。或者等一个月等到那家店开张,以后有很多卡可以玩,但暂时什么也没有。

    现在想这件事,我很高兴当时选择了后者。

    只是那个时候我还不知道,在我以后的人生中,将会面临很多次类似的选择。
