Do you think parents and culture can influence affinity for delayed gratification?
- bane 12y agoI have no idea. I suspect there's some kind of influence there. But I can think of enough anecdotal cases where it doesn't seem to be true to rule it out as a complete explanation.
- seanflyon 12y agoI am completely convinced parents and culture can influence affinity for delayed gratification. I have watched it happen in both directions. I don't think it is the only factor, but I seems incredibly obvious to me that parents and culture have an effect.
- washadjeffmad 12y agoYes, and I believe that's loosely covered under the blanket of reciprocity systems in anthropology.
