The current study was aimed at exploring how young and middle-aged adults deal with instant gratification, self-control and impulsiveness in their everyday lives. The present study was conducted on 65 adults (50 of which were young adults aged 22-34 years and the other 15 comprised of middle adults aged 35-44 years). Scales were administered to see the effects of age and gender on the aforementioned variables. Two questions in the demographic details assessed the age and sex of the person, respectively to categorize the collected data accordingly under separate age groups and gender divisions. Appropriate statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between youth and middle-aged adults, or between males and females’ in level of instant gratification, impulsiveness and self-control. Furthermore, there exists a favorable relationship between instant gratification and impulsiveness whereas a negative correlation exists between instant gratification and self-control and between impulsiveness and self-control.
