tomada de decisão, teste do marshmallow, autocontrole, adiamento de recompensas, contexto socialResumo
Este artigo propõe uma discussão sobre os fatores psicossociais que influenciam a maneira em que os seres humanos tomam decisões relacionadas ao autocontrole, enfatizando o que fazem as crianças pré-escolares em situações de adiamento de recompensa. Para isso, tomamos como ponto de partida o teste do marshmallow aplicado ao contexto social, para analisar a forma pela qual aspectos como a racionalidade, as emoções, a condição socioeconômica, e particularmente a confiança nos outros influenciam em como as decisões são tomadas e como se exerce ou não o autocontrole em relação ao adiamento de recompensas imediatas para obter, posteriormente, outras maiores.
