“…For example, some perspective-taking tasks require specific experimental procedures, such as role playing or videotape watching, that are often logistically complex and time consuming (e.g., Chandler, 1973;Saltz, dixon, & Johnson, 1977).

Social anhedonia has been linked to the development and exacerbation of psychosis. The present study explored the hypothesis that scores in social anhedonia are related to deictic relational responding, empathic concern, and experiential avoidance, as suggested by relational frame theory and acceptance and commitment therapy. College students (N = 110) from a Spanish university completed self-report measures of social anhedonia, empathy, and experiential avoidance. Deictic relational responding was measured by performance on a behavioral task. Sequential multiple regression indicated that deictic relational responding, empathy, and experiential avoidance have a large relationship size with social anhedonia, accounting for 26% of the total variance, and minimal overlap among each other. These data support the utility of these processes as predictors of social anhedonia, suggesting new psychological targets for its prevention and treatment. The implication of these processes for the development of psychosis should be explored.

“…More importantly, the youngsters in the play trained group showed significantly more imaginative play actions than those in the control on these behaviors and on the posttest. The ability to play imaginatively is necessary for cognitive growth (Piaget, 1962) and can be nurtured by adults working with young children and by school programs and child development philosophies (Saltz, Dixon, & Johnson, 1977;Smilansky, 1968). Cohen and Tomlinson-Keasey (1968) showed that the greatest quantity of exploratory play developed during parentchild interaction settings rather than in other settings, such as child alone.…”

T HE EFFECT OF parents' play routines in home intervention programs on developmentally delayed youngsters was examined in a parent-child play home intervention pro gram. The goals of the program were (1) to work with parents on a weekly basis, (2) to show them how to work on imaginative play with their youngsters in the home, and (3) to compare the performance of these parents and their children with that of members of the control group using selected assessment measures. Showing parents how to work systematically with their own children in home settings The author's research and writing on constructivist play, communication and cognition in minority and handicapped children and their parents is supported, in part,

“…Going a bit further into the cognitive realm, Saltz, Dixon, and Johnson (1977) examined the role of fantasy in delay of gratification. They found that children who were instructed to think about their favorite story while waiting performed better in delay tasks than did those who were not.…”

In 1958, the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology published a report of experimental research by Walter Mischel. Several aspects of this paper provide clues about what was to come in the next 50 years. It reported focused empirical work using an experimental method to probe seemingly intractable theoretical questions. The research was published in a journal dedicated to abnormal psychology, but the clear message was that delay processes underlying abnormal behavior were on a continuum with typical behavior. The research looked toward cognitive and social psychology for explanation, rather than stimulus-response learning or psychodynamic theory. Major graduate-level textbooks covering social psychology theory quickly recognized the research as important for understanding human socialization (e.g., Jones & Gerard, 1967, pp. 95-99). In the next 50 years Mischel, his students, and his collaborators would contribute more than 200 papers, many of which addressed issues in delay of gratification and resistance to temptation.Within this time frame, researchers examined delay of gratification across the lifespan, yielding some important longitudinal results. For example, Funder, Block, and Block (1983) found significant positive relations between delay of gratification at age 4 and measurements of both ego control and ego resiliency at ages 3, 4, 7, and 11 years. Examining even more distal behaviors, Mischel and colleagues found that delay of gratification measured early in childhood was linked to long-term achievement, better coping abilities and stress management, and greater social competency in adolescence (Mischel, Shoda, & Peake, 1988;Shoda, Mischel, & Peake, 1990). Consistent with these findings, Rodriguez, Mischel, and Shoda (1989) found that low ability to delay gratification was related to poor regulatory capacities and increased risk for disruptive behavior disorders.This chapter reviews the empirical literature and theoretical underpinnings of delay of gratification research.
