That sounds plausible. Now, where do we go to systematically see people with good self control? Or is it just a reason to choose good role models and think about them regularly.
Read the Bible!
I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. Romans 7:15
Then you'd have to be very careful which parts you read.
The Bible is rather poorly optimized for this purpose, all things considered; you could do a lot better with other books.
Read Hybrid Theory by Blade and Epsilon! ...sometime when you've got a spare week in which to read 1,300,000 words or so.
Reading the right biographies or watching the right movies would probably work...
I can recommend "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" for this purpose. It is longer than a single movie and includes quite a lot of self-controlled characters (above all Cameron of course).
When I saw the series (essentially in one go), the effect described in the study lasted for approximately 2 days.
