The Marshmallow Test, conducted by Walter Mischel in 1972, explored self-control and delayed gratification in preschool children, revealing that cognitive avoidance of temptations leads to better self-control than willpower alone.

The study has influenced modern psychology, education, and therapy, emphasizing the importance of distraction strategies for enhancing self-control.
