Academic Delay Of Gratification

The ability to delay short-term gratification to pursue valuable long-term goals is essential for personal and even societal success. We provide a review of the conceptual status of delay of gratification from the perspectives of volitional, expectancy-value, and self-regulation theories as well as evidence regarding the associations between academic delay of gratification (ADOG), motivational beliefs, and use of self-regulated learning strategies. Cultural factors are considered, specifically influences on the assessment and understanding of research on ADOG. Suggestions are provided for ways to facilitate self-regulation of learning and delay of gratification within and across cultural contexts.

Abstract Introduction Poor sleep in early childhood is linked to reduced school readiness. This study examined the role of acute sleep loss in behavioral self-regulation using a delay of gratification task. We hypothesized that after acute nap deprivation, toddlers would have worse inhibitory control and resort to more maladaptive self-regulation strategies than after a nap. Methods 25 healthy children (11 males, 34.1±2.3 months-old) followed a strict sleep schedule for ≥5 days before a baseline (nap) and an acute nap deprivation condition (no-nap). After being introduced to an age-appropriate toy, children were instructed not to touch the toy and left alone for 3-minutes. To assess inhibitory control, videos of the waiting period were behaviorally coded for latency to touch and 11 self-regulation strategies. We combined strategies into adaptive and maladaptive composites; higher scores on each composite indicated greater use. Results During the nap condition, 19 children touched the toy (latency to touch=70.0±60.7 sec); during the no-nap condition, 18 children touched the toy (latency to touch=65.4±71.6 sec). The adaptive composite score was 1.58±0.25 for the nap condition and 1.17±0.27 for the no-nap condition. The maladaptive score was 0.92±0.17 for the nap condition and 0.83±0.19 for the no-nap condition. We found no differences between conditions in the number of children who touched the toy (X2=0, p=0.50), mean latency to touch (t=0.27, p=0.39), or the composite scores of adaptive (z=0.35, p=0.12) and maladaptive strategies (z=0.09, p=0.69). Conclusion Findings indicate that acute nap deprivation may not have an immediate impact on inhibitory control and self-regulation in toddlers. 30-36 months old children may not have sufficient cognitive resources to exert inhibitory control and self-regulate whether or not they have obtained adequate daytime sleep. Future research should examine developmental changes in the effects of acute sleep restriction on behavioral self-regulation. Support Research support from NIH R01-MH086566 to MKL.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study is an attempt to conduct factor analysis of the Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students, with 10 items, prepared by Bembenutty and Karabenick (1998), on Indian professional courses students. 461 students (256 boys and 205 girls) from engineering, pharmacy, law and education professional courses of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Hyderabad, voluntarily participated in the study, out of which 336 students (190 boys and 146 girls) were part of exploratory factor analysis. With the help of SPSS Statistics Ver.23, Principal Axis Factor extraction method and Varimax rotation, two factors were extracted. Monte Carlo PCA Parallel Analysis was used to settle for one factor explaining 16% variance. The reliability of the instrument using Cronbach’s Alpha was found to be 0.715. SPSS Amos Ver. 23 was used to confirm the factor structure and establish within-network construct validity of the instrument using Fit index tests like Chi test p value, DF, CMIN/DF, TLI, CFI, IFI, NFI,RMR and RMSEA from the data of 125 students (66 boys and 59 girls), followed by between network validity based on construct validation approach using Pearson’s product moment correlation the data of 136 students (100 boys and 36 girls) measuring their academic delay of gratification and emotional intelligence. There were sufficient evidences to establish that this instrument in its present form can be administered on Indian urban students for the measurement of academic delay of gratification.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study measured the partial (configural, metric and scalar) invariance of Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students prepared by Hefer Bembenutty and Stuart Karabenick (1996), with respect to gender. 488 students (277 boys and 211 girls) from engineering, law, pharmacy, and education faculties of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Hyderabad, were samples of the study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis framework was used to test the three invariance, one at a time, using SPSS AMOS Ver.23. This was done by constraining the factor structure, factor loadings and intercepts for the genders boys and girls simultaneously. The SPSS AMOS CFA test provided Chi-square value and degree of freedom for the unconstrained and the constrained structures. By comparing the difference in the Chi-square test p-value for a degree of freedom of the constrained factor structure with the unconstrained structure’s Chi-Square p-value and its degree of freedom using an excel sheet calculator of Chi-square test available on the Internet, the measurement invariance of the instrument was verified. The findings of the study reveal that the scale is configural and metric invariant, as there is no significant difference between constrained and unconstrained structures. However, the scale is not scalar invariant. The educational implications are discussed.

Academic Delay Of Gratification

The present study is an attempt to examine the relationship between academic delay of gratification and emotional intelligence in professional courses students. Sample for the study includes 136 urban students ( 99 boys and 37 girls ) from Engineering, Pharmacy, Law and Education courses of Sultan Ul Uloom Education Society, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data for measuring delay of gratification is collected using Academic Delay of Gratification Scale (ADOGS) for college students prepared by Hefer Bembenutty (1997). Emotional intelligence is measured by collecting data using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Adolescent Short Form (TEIQue- ASF), prepared by Petrides, K. V. and Furnham, A. (2006) for adolescents. For data analysis, Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation coefficient is used. The significance of the test is calculated for the level of significance α at 0.05, using SPSS Statistics Ver.23. Power analysis using G Power Software is used to reveal the minimum sample size to 112 for effect size 0.3 and power 0.9. The findings of the study reveal positive in nature, moderate in strength and highly significant relationship between the variables. No role of gender is found. Educational implications are discussed.
