| Abstract: | Asserts that self-handicapping students protect their self-images by deliberately not trying to achieve for fear of trying hard, failing anyway, and appearing "dumb." Surveys of high school students examined three areas of students' perceptions (self-handicapping, academic self-efficacy, and classroom environment). The correlation between academic self-handicapping and academic self-efficacy was significant. The more competitive the classroom environment, the more students tended to self- handicap. (SM) |
