Children's ability to delay gratification: longitudinal relations to mother-child attachment.

A study was conducted to analyze concurrent and longitudinal mother-child attachment qualities in relation to children's ability to delay gratification at age six years. Findings revealed that both concurrent attachment quality and a longitudinal attachment measure predicted the length of time that...

      ab: A study was conducted to analyze concurrent and longitudinal mother-child attachment qualities in relation to children's ability to delay gratification at age six years. Findings revealed that both concurrent attachment quality and a longitudinal attachment measure predicted the length of time that children were able to delay gratification. Children characterized by secure attachment were able delay for the longest periods of time, whereas children with insecure-disorganized attachment exhibited the most problems in waiting for gratification. When other important variables were considered, including gender and children's cognitive functioning, the impact of longitudinal, but not concurrent, attachment quality on children's total waiting time was still significant. An interactive effect was noted between attachment quality and cognitive functioning. Insecure-avoidantly attached children with high cognitive functioning did not differ in their overall waiting times from securely attached children, but insecure-avoidantly attached children with average or low cognitive functioning had shorter waiting times.
