Delaying Gratification As A Process Of Scheduling The Pain And Pleasure Of Life

Nowadays, children are glued to their computer screens, ignoring physical activities and spending time with their families. This not only deteriorates their health but also the bond among the family members .Secondly, the use of technology at workplace in the form of e-mails, cell phones , texts kills inter-personal relationships among employees . As described in the article, “Why Gen-Y Johnny Can’t Read Non-Verbal Cues,” “With a device close by, attendees at workplace meetings simply cannot keep their focus on the speaker. It’s too easy to check e-mails, stock quotes and Facebook. While a quick log-on may seem, to the user, a harmless break, others in the room receive it as a silent dismissal. It announces: ‘I’m not interested’” (Bauerlein 145). People are under the impression that sending text messages or e-mails makes them closer to their loved ones. But these means of communication cannot substitute for a meaningful face-to-face

Accompanying all actions, there are equal, and opposite reactions. Just as there are many benefits of social media in the workplace, there are many not-so-beneficial attributes associated with allowing social networking in your workplace. Time management is obviously the most important issue for all of us with always-on technologies of communication. Today we can record conversations, take pictures, check email, and visit networking sites through our own telephones. Extended smoke breaks are no longer in the picture when compared to the amount of time employees are using during work to reconnect with friends and family.

In the experiment group, children were asked to postpone their desire to eat marshmallow for ten minutes, but they were notified how much time left to hold their

lex Lickerman, author of the article “The Power of Delaying Gratification”, discuss the experiment psychologist Walter Mischel did on the kids to understand their self-control. Basically, he gives a group of children a cookie and gives them to option either they could eat the cookie immediately or they can wait until he comes back, however, if they wait for him to back they will receive another cookie. Based on his experiment he concludes that the kid who resist to eat a cookie and wait for him to gain another cookie they will do better in the school than the kids who did not resist. For instances, they will get higher sat scores than who eat the cookie immediately. Likewise, I attempt to do the same experiment instead of using cookie I use candy because teenager loves candy, therefore it will be difficult for them to refuse candy. So, I did experiment on students who are in regular classes and they are in different grades. Based on the results, I realize that only freshman and sophomore find it difficult to candy but seniors are also found difficult to resist the candy. This interacts with Walter ideology because I did experiment students who are in regular class and Walton states that kids who resist eating candy straightway will do better in the school. Therefore, the students find difficult to resist the candy so they are in regular class instead of honors class.

There are positive impacts that social media can have on employees as was recently published by Robertson & Key, (2017). In their article, “Social media at work: The roles of job satisfaction, employment status, and Facebook use with co-workers”, we are made aware of the positive impact that social media can have on employee. The amount of time spent on Facebook interacting with co-workers can have a positive impact on employee satisfaction at work (Robertson & Key,

The using of technologies for communications will help closing the gaps between staffs and management and with the business stakeholders. By using of emails, video conferencing, webinar and social networks it helps to make the connections between staffs, whether they work in the same building, in different states or across the country. On the other hands, electronic messages and other ways of technologies based communications are always replaced for interactions that can be better suitable for personal interactions. This is can be worked as very effective when different opinions between a lot of staffs exists or when the exchanges of idea and message can be impacted by body languages and non-verbal information during

How are humans capable to control themselves and their urges? This question has psy-chologists wondering for centuries. How do we decide if we want to spend our money on something or rather save it to spend it later on something else? What makes us wait for a re-ward rather than receiving instant gratification? Several studies have been conducted on these questions, looking for answers on self-control. In my research, I want to see if there is a dif-ference between introverted and extroverted people in choosing delayed gratification. My hypotheses is that the more introversion a human shows the more likely they choose delayed gratification.

Sometimes we have to learn to restrict ourselves and abandon the comforts and pleasure in the moment since dull work is almost inevitable when we try to achieve great goals, just as one can never be a good lawyer until he's managed to keep the laws in mind. Facing these humdrum work, people are easier to feel tired or even annoyed. Then only few people can resist the temptation of gaining gratification instantly. When faced

Walter Mischel In the 1960s conducted a series of experiments on delayed gratification. In the experiments 4 and 5 year olds were put in a private room by themselves and given a choice, they could eat a piece of candy or they could wait 15 minutes and as a reward for waiting gain an additional piece of candy. Only a handful of the children could wait and resist the temptation of the candy.

The willingness to delay gratification has been studied widely as it predicts social outcomes such as substance abuse or obesity. Many researchers have focused on cognitive control, which is considered to have a major influence on the individuals’ abilities to delay gratification. However, in addition to cognitive control, social trust also affects the delay of gratification since delaying gratification will make sense only if a person is sure that the reward will actually be given. In the present study, Michaelson and Munakata (2016) therefore, tested the influence of social trust on delaying gratification of children by manipulating trust that is unrelated to reward expectation.

“Participating in the Always-On Lifestyle” is a fascinating read on what it means to be truly online. Boyd discusses her views on the antiphone phenomenon and the idea that technology is an always negative thing. She believes that technology can enrich and energize our connections that we make in contrast to many negative views. However, while making a case for the good that technology has to offer she also states that sometimes she “[struggles] to find balance” and becomes overwhelmed. Technology is becoming ever more present, more than ever technology uses need to seek to find harmony between digital pleasures and our everyday lives. Always- On lifestyles do not uses technology for “instant gratification” but instead use technology to enhance

In this paper, I will be giving my thoughts on the videos that we watched this week for class. Let’s start off with the first video I watched How the Internet Enables Intimacy. The speaker stated that that the average Facebook user has 120 friends and only talks to 4 or 5 of them regularly while I can see this to be true in my experience the way I use Facebook is I only keep people on mine that I know rather than everyone that I can possible add, but I rarely talk to any of them online and only a few of them in person. She also goes over how people at work using their cell phones is frowned upon but people still sneak texts and calls in whenever they can while at work. I think that this statement is true and I was surprised how I never realized it in my own life, as well as how isolated work is supposed to be compared to everything else in your everyday life.

Social media has increasingly been on the rise for over the past 10 years, so has the concern on the effect of it being in the workplace. People are spending more and more time on social media and other communication technology (Walder). Because of this, researchers have begun to wonder what the effect will be in the workplace. The argument of social media in the workplace is on the rise, and will continue to grow as the Internet continues to transform the way people are spending their time (Carlson).

Alex Lickerman, author of the article “The Power of Delaying Gratification”, discuss about the experiment psychologist Walter Mischel did on the kids to understand their self-control. Basically, he give a group of children a cookie and he give them to option either they could eat the cookie immediately or they can wait until he come back however if they wait for him to back they will receive another cookie.

Likewise, I attempt to do the same experiment instead of using cookie I use candy because teenager loves candy therefore it will be difficult for them to refuse candy. So, I try to do the experiment on students who are in regular classes and they need special helps from the teacher. Based on the results, I realize only freshman and sophomore find it difficult to candy seniors are also found difficult to resist candy. This interacts with Walter ideology because I did experiment students who are in regular classes and Walton states that kids who resist to eat candy straightway will do better in the school. Therefore, the students I did experiment they find difficult to resist the candy so they are in regular class.

Managers looking at social media; some think it’s bad, but many think it’s great, and for good reason too. An article was once published in a Nursing Journal that described a nurse getting fired for posting the nurses feelings on Facebook. The post was about a dispute with a coworker over a patient’s care. The author who posted the article understood the high expectations expected of nurses, but felt the punishment was unfair because what the nurse did was not illegal and it was posted while the nurse was off duty (” Facebook Fracas,” 2010). Some people feel social media has nothing to do with their lives at work but this is far from true. Although it is true that legally, employers must be careful not to discriminate when using Social
