The Relationship between Ability to Delay Gratification and Attention Mechanism: Focusing on Executive Attention and Strategies for Attention Deployment

양아름; 방희정

The purpose of this study were to investigate the relationships between executive attention, strategies for attention deployment, and ability to delay gratification. The subject of the study were 62 children who lived in Seoul and Incheon and they were 48 to 75 months. Subjects were divided into control group(which was not offered the strategy to distract their attention during the delay period) and two experimental groups(which was offered the strategy to distract their attention during the delay period). The results of the study are as follows: First, the correlation between child's intellectual ability and ability to delay gratification was significant. Also, there was significant relationship between child's executive attention and ability to delay gratification. Second, there were significant differences between the control group and the experimental groups. That is, the experimental groups offered the strategies to distract attention have longer waiting time than the control group. However, there was no significant difference in the experimental groups. Third, offering the strategies to distract attention and executive attention were significantly contributed to the prediction of the ability to delay of gratification. Also, there was significant interactive effect between the type of strategies to distract attention and executive attention. This is, as the group was suggested to play with 'toy', children's high executive skills have a strong effect on the ability to delay gratification.
