Answer 2

Pick a specific desire as a reward. (Option B)

• Delaying gratification is related to other comparable qualities such as patience, impulse control, self-control, and willpower, all of which are engaged in self-regulation.
• Self-regulation, in its broadest sense, refers to a person's ability to adjust to oneself to fulfill the needs of the environment.
• Delaying gratification is the opposite of delay discounting, which is defined as "the preference for smaller immediate benefits over bigger but delayed incentives" and relates to the "reality that the subjective value of a reward declines with an increasing delay before its receipt."
• The cognitive-affective personality system is thought to be in charge of the ability to choose delayed rewards (CAPS).
