Abstract enThe purpose of this study was to determine the changes in the level of self-handicapping of university students by their achievement goal orientation, self-esteem, academic achievement and some demographic characteristics. A correlational study designed in survey model was carried out in the study. A total of 483 university students participated in the study. "Self-Handicapping Scale", "Achievement-Goal Orientation Scale", and "Self-Esteem Scale" and “Personal Information Form" were used to collect data. Results revealed that self-esteem was the most important predictor of self-handicapping. It was also concluded that those with high self-esteem perform self-handicapping strategies less frequently. Another important result of the study was that while students who have adopted the performance-avoidance goal orientation tended to perform self-handicapping strategies more frequently, the tendency of those with mastery-goal orientation decreases.
