The study investigates whether a regular program of academic study can improve self-control and mitigate the effects of exam stress. Two cohorts were assessed, with one receiving a study intervention program. Results showed that the intervention improved self-regulatory capacity, reduced consumption of cigarettes, alcohol, and caffeine, and increased healthy behaviors during exams. The study supports the resource model of self-control, suggesting that self-control can be strengthened with practice.
