Socio-economic factors can influence a child's decision in the marshmallow test due to disparities in life experiences and resources. Children from lower socio-economic backgrounds may have experienced less predictability and stability in their environment, which can impact their willingness to delay gratification. In contrast, children from more affluent backgrounds might have had greater exposure to stable conditions and resources, fostering a stronger inclination toward delayed gratification. The test may not solely measure inherent self-control but could reflect broader environmental influences.
