In order to determine how delayed preference behavior is related to cognitive style, 262 kindergarten children, ranging from five to six years, were administered Kagan's MFF and a delay of gratification test, which was constructed in accordance with the basic paradigm developed by Mischel et al. The results revealed that older children elicited significantly more delayed behavior than younger children, and that contrary to the results of previous works, slow-inaccurate older children delayed significantly more than those in the other three MFF quadrants. There were no significant differences among these three groups. No significant evidence of the relationship between delayed behavior and cognitive styles was obtained for younger children. The possible implications of these findings were discussed.
