Self-affirmation buffers claimed self-handicapping? A test of contextual and individual moderators
Tandler, Schwinger, Kaminski and Stiensmeier-Pelster, Psychology 5(5), 2014, 321-327. After negative feedback on an intelligence test, 56 female college students affirmed themselves in the threatened domain or an unrelated one; those who affirmed in the threatened domain claimed less self-handicapping, but only participants with high dispositional self-esteem showed this. The authors conclude that self-protection strategies are only partly substitutable.
