• What is really tested during this evaluation
• Can this determine a child’s future characteristics
• Is there another simpler meaning behind this study
• Is this study effective
• This test compared to other that can depict information on your child

1.Working Hypothesis 1

This test can depict a child’s characteristics later on in life due to the fact of his or her ability to have self control

1a.Working Hypothesis 2

Is a Child’s Future on the Line?

How can someone simply depict a child’s future with a Marshmallow Test. Scientist say that this test of self control can mirror the reactions of child’s habits later on in life. If the child is able to hold back his or her urges to eat the treat before being give an additional one will be more substantial to hold down a job or have better grades. This is certainly a good method to test a child’s self control and in future will the child pay his or her bills or go spend the money on clothes or food. The test shows a good example of how the now grown child would act on their on in stressful stations.

Does Trust Have Anything to Do With It?

Trust is a vital resource used by children and adults to determine if someone is actually helping or hurting them. A study shown that children whom come from different backgrounds have different results to this test simply on their understanding of trust. A child might not give a stranger his or her trust when first meeting someone simply because of their background. At a young age children are only used to their neighborhoods and communities. So if a child’s surroundings are bad and lack trust then their results defiantly defiantly going to be different then that of a child with a more safe and secure background.

1.Current State of Research Paper

Mainly finished with my research on the Marshmallow test and what it actually resembles to a child’s future. With the help of several credible sources I can now see the difference between this test and others like it. more importantly I realize the true value and meaning behind the results of this test, making my theory that this test most certainly can determine a child future characteristics
