The Turtle Experiment

The Turtle Experiment was a classic psychology study demonstrating the power of discipline and self-control. It involved participants who committed to personal goals, like avoiding impulsive behaviors, over a period—symbolized by waiting or resisting temptation. The name "Turtle" suggests patience and persistence, emphasizing that consistent, deliberate effort over time can lead to success. Essentially, the experiment shows that self-control is a skill that can be developed with practice, and that patience and perseverance are crucial for achieving long-term goals.
