The marshmallow test, tests a children’s willingness to delay gratification. Sort of a self administered positive feedback for delaying gratification. Children get a marshmallow, with the opportunity to get a second marshmallow if they wait 15 minutes before eating the first one.
During the Covid-19 Pandemic the marshmallow test is misaligned for most who don't think they can get it. If they delay gratification by social distance and wear a mask and wash hands and delaying certain activities where these things are not possible they don't get a extra marshmallow but they may get a few extra years of life and have a relative and friend a little longer.
