Abstract

The current study investigated the longitudinal relationship between infants’ response to joint attention andpreschoolers’ delay in gratification among 72 children. The response to joint attention (RJA) was observedthrough the Early Social Communication Scale at 9, 12, and 15 months. Children’s delay in gratificationwas evaluated at 4 years old. The response to joint attention in infancy was significantly correlated withstrategies in the delay in gratification. Infants who responded more to the researcher’s initiated jointattention at 9, 12, and 15 months were found to gaze more at objects, which were used to distractattention from the reward during delay of gratification. In particular, infants who responded more to theresearcher’s initiated joint attention at 15 months were able to delay their gratification for a longer periodof time. The present study implied the development of self-regulatory ability during infancy andearly childhood. These observations are discussed based on the developmental theory of attention regulationand joint attention in infancy.
