 As explained by Leary & Tangney (2003), Delaying Gratification refers to the ability of an individual to make a choice that limits the ability to obtain something now in anticipation of getting something better in the future. A major importance of delaying gratification is that it improves the willpower of an individual and facilitates faster achievement of long term goals. Kalat (2013) adds that delaying gratification is diminishing in the society because people are faced with enticing ways to having fun during the earning age.
