Three longitudinal studies and one correlational study tested the hypothesis that increasing self - regulatory strength by regular self - regulatory exercise would reduce the intrapsychic costs of suppressing stereotypes. Participants tried to resist using stereotypes while describing or talking to a stimulus person. Participants whose habitual motivation to suppress stereotypes was low exhibited impaired Stroop and anagram performance after the suppression task, presumably because of self - regulatory depletion (i. e., a reduction of self - regulatory strength following prior use). Two weeks of self - regulation exercises (such as using one’s nondominant hand or refraining from cursing) eliminated this effect. These findings indicate that self - regulatory exercise can improve resistance to self - regulatory depletion and, consequently, people can suppress stereotypes without suffering subsequent decrements in task performance.
