Our data demonstrate that the students who exhibited sensitivity to prejudice and discrimination also reported having less self-control of their academic lives. They found it harder to take effective notes, create quiet study spaces and keep to a study schedule. We also know from correlating their responses with their SAT scores that this pattern isn't related to their academic ability -- something about the experience of being stigmatized taps that limited source of self-regulation and interferes with their self-control.

Women who were told the math test would assess their ability held the hand grip for significantly less times than those in the other three groups. The study?s results demonstrate that the relationship between prejudice and self-control is translatable across stigmatized groups and that it interferes with an individual?s ability to regulate various activities.
