Answer to Question 1

Answer: Self-handicapping is the behavior of withdrawing effort or creating obstacles to one's future success. The goal is to appear competent to others. It is especially likely when people doubt that their previous achievements accurately reflect their personal abilities and efforts. The people most likely to use this strategy have fragile self-esteem, have a strong desire to demonstrate their competence, and are males.
Possible examples of self-handicapping include: taking condition-impairing drugs; not practicing; consuming alcohol; choosing unattainable goals; giving competitors a performance advantage.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
