Note that the studies that show this effect are pretty shaky. The controls they used were dodgy and, if I recall correctly, were amongst the social sciences studies that were unable to be reproduced when a researcher went through a bunch of these studies a couple of years ago. That's not to say the effect doesn't exist, but there isn't a lot of good evidence that it does.
