</figure>Ken Fujita, Professor of Psychology, researches self-control in the Ohio State University Motivation and Cognitive Science Laboratory. He explores how motivation and cognition intersect to affect decision-making and behavior, such as the influence of thinking patterns on desires, as famously shown by the marshmallow test (can a child resist eating a marshmallow for 15 minutes?). Fujita looks at situational factors and strategies for self-control, arguing that self-control is a skill developed through practice rather than an innate ability. The interview ends with Fujita sharing his journey into psychology and discussing his commitment to mentoring students.
