I don't think it supports the idea that men have better control over their emotions than women. Rather, I think it illustrates the effects of stereotype anxiety. The article also mentions the same phenomenon wrt black students taking standardized tests. Although I don't have the source on hand, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a piece a few months ago reporting a similar effect in the performance of white basketball players relative to that of blacks in American high schools.
