People have actually figured out how capture rate is calculated. You are both right though, sleep and frozen are the best status effects to inflict to increase capture rate.
Part of the calculations include what status a pokemon is infected with. If the Pokémon is asleep or frozen their capture rate is most greatly increased; if they are paralyzed, poisoned or burned their capture rate is slightly increased; anything else does not effect their capture rate. So cursing a pokemon will not effect their capture rate.
This site goes into much more detail of how capture rate is figured out. http://www.dragonflycave.com/gen6capture.aspx
