The Relationship of Claimed and Behavioral Self-handicapping to Flow experience: Moderation effect of Self-doubt
Abstract
Self-handicapping has showed an association with various motivational outcomes in both adaptive and maladaptive ways. This study proposed that claimed and behavioral self-handicapping were different in its association with flow experience and that these relationship were moderated by the level of self-doubt. Participants included 240 undergraduate students (54% female). Results showed that claimed self- handicapping was positively associated with flow experience whereas behavioral self-handicapping was negatively associated with flow experience. However, the positive effect of claimed self-handicapping on flow was not significant for those with the lower level of behavioral self-handicapping. The association between behavioral self-handicapping and flow was moderated by level of self-doubt. The negative effect of behavioral self-handicapping on flow experience was significant only for those with the lower level of self-doubt. Implications for future research and intervention were discussed.
