We can have all the laws on the book we want, but if people don't follow them, not only do we not get a second marshmallow, we might get Covid-19 and die.
I found this information below on actual compliance with Covid-19 precautions including lock-downs, the whole USA gets a failing grade, except the state of Vermont.

In the past there has been some discussion on how some states report their statistics verses others, and how when the data gets imputed into the system it may create an artificial dip and or peak/spike. The latest article I found on it was out of date, but showed a lot of differences. I'm not sure if a national standard is being followed, if not then it's an apples to oranges comparison. |
no, for the test to meet the current situation the researcher would have to take away a bag of marshmallows the child already owned. then promise to give a marshmallow back every fifteen minutes if the child did some meaningless and humiliating task.
and then never gave back the marshmallows.
an interesting way to identify the most obedient and gullible members of society.
