Underachievers' Cognitive and Behavioral Strategies--Self-Handicapping at School.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Nurmi, Jari-Erik; And Others – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1995
Two studies with a total of 153 junior and senior high-school students and vocational students in Finland investigated whether underachievers applied a self-handicapping or learned-helplessness strategy in achievement contexts. Underachievers seemed to apply a self-handicapping strategy rather than a learned-helplessness approach. (SLD)
