Walter Michel was a revolutionary psychologist, whose specialty was personality theory. The social-cognitive perspective of a personality is a theory that emphasizes cognitive processes such as judgment and thinking in personality development. Mischel was most famous for the marshmallow test, by whom, if you put a child in front of the marshallow and tell him he will get two marshmallows if he can resist eating while you leave the room. His experiment was the delays of satisfaction over the years, and he presented the idea of having specific characteristics inside us, which are stable and consistent, and which will determine our life in the future. According to Michel, this pattern of behavior should make psychologists more cautious about emphasizing the consistency of personal traits.
