This
lecture reminded me of a study I researched a couple years ago regarding correlations
found between impulsivity in children and drug use later in adolescence. The marshmallow
test is indicative of self-control. Below is a link from Psych central that
explains how a traumatic childhood could initiate impulse control issues which
are later ignited into drug abuse. The study focuses on siblings, one with
addiction issues and the others without. While correlations were found there
was no direct causation links found.
