That is the higher the motivation toward an immediate reward, the more pronounced individual differences will be concerning the functioning of each persons ego. Ego resiliency focuses on people that describe themselves as competent and intelligent individuals that adapt in situations under stress and can vary their strategies of functioning cognitively or behaviorally in some contexts.
The term ego control is defined as an individual's capacity to maintain impulses, feelings, and desires. This view concerns individual differences in ego control which is defined as "the individual's generalized disposition or capacity to modulate and contain impulses, feelings and desires to inhibit action." The second view relates to ego resiliency and that delayed gratification is "assumed to be adaptive, and so emphasis is placed on the cognitive competencies that constitute the "ability" to delay." This research done by Funder and Block showed that ego control, ego resiliency, and IQ involve some correlation between delayed gratification and the workings of the ego. The first theoretical view was proposed around 1950. Two distinct theoretical views have been proposed. The research that has been done on psychoanalysis and delayed gratification has grown exponentially over the past 50 years. The Superego, sometimes referred to as the morality principle, embodies social constraints and moral obligations during conscious and unconscious states. The Ego is known as the reality principle and is the most conscious while mediating between the Id and Superego and the demands of reality. The psychoanalytic term impulse control derives from the Freudian psychology theory of personality ( Id, ego, and super-ego) wherein the Id is driven by the pleasure principle and primarily unconscious.
Moreover, people who lack the psychological trait of being able to delay gratification are said to require instant gratification and might suffer poor impulse control. Delay discounting is defined as "the preference for smaller immediate rewards over larger but delayed rewards and to the well established fact that the subjective value of reward decreases with increasing delay to its receipt." Sociologically, good impulse control is considered a positive personality trait. The term delay discounting is also used in research to show the ability to delay immediate gratification.
This intellectual attribute is also called impulse control, will power, self control, and "low" time preference, in economics. Deferred gratification and delayed gratification denote a person's ability to wait, to obtain something that he or she wants.
