Gratification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gratification is the pleasurable emotional reaction of happiness in response to a fulfillment of a desire or goal.
Gratification, like all emotions, is a motivator of behavior and thus plays a role in the entire range of human social systems.

Instant and delayed gratification

The term instant gratification is often used to label the satisfactions gained by more impulsive behaviors: choosing now over tomorrow. The skill of giving preference to long-term goals over more immediate ones is known as deferred gratification or patience, and it is usually considered a virtue, producing rewards in the long term.
Walter Mischel developed the well-known marshmallow experiment to test gratification patterns in four-year-olds, offering one marshmallow now or two after a delay. He discovered in long-term follow-up that the ability to resist eating the marshmallow immediately was a good predictor of success in later life.
