Powerlessness and the Deferred Gratification Pattern Among Lower and Middle Class Children

Year: 1969

Type: dissertation

Abstract: The study attempts to determine the degree of powerlessness and the deferment of gratification among children as measured by instruments designed for this purpose. An effort will be made to test whether the deferred gratification pattern exists in inverse relationship to the feeling of powerlessness among the lower classes; and to determine whether children who feel they are estranged from society have a psychological need for an impulsive release of feelings.
