Connection Observed Between Hand Grip Resistance and Ability to Finish Schoolwork

Study posted in the Journal of Health Psychology linked a positive relationship between the power to resist a hand grip and the willpower of students in completing their homework. A rather bizarre association to be made, but the argument goes ""If you have a high capacity for self-control you can have a high capacity in multiple domains," Stork says. "If you have a high level of self-control, it's not only for exercise or doing well in school, but it can also apply to other helpful behaviours as well, like regulating your eating or smoking habits."
