Um, I mentioned also uh a study that uh you know what would Jesus do for example he did this with kids uh Angela Duckworth and um Rachel Carlson at the University of Minnesota they brought kids in and in one condition they just had them do a task that required self-control as they normally would. But in the experimental condition they for the boys they got they they gave the children various costumes. They could pick the costume that they wanted to wear the most. like the boy a little boy might put on a Batman cape and cowl and then they were simply asked as you do this task we want you to ask the question what would that character do so a boy might say what would Batman do and they showed that thinking like Batman made them have better self-control now there's many reasons for this but the reason that they emphasized was that Batman isn't the kid and so they created distance by emulating somebody else
