I've never understood the "so what" of this study. Did people not think self control was a virtuous characteristic before? Will they stop trying to teach their kids to exercise self control now that it's been debunked? S

The high net worth groups used for comparison were not asked the same questions ("nearly identical" is in the eye of the beholder) and were either international or from 1983(!?), so I think this whole exercise is a little dubious.

Obviously one can imagine legitimate exceptions to any saying, but in your particular examples I think what you're describing is just legitimate differences in cultural norms. I would argue that if the prevailing culture is a certain w
