Question 2

Mike desperately wants to do well on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), as his scores will affect his chances of getting into his first-choice college. He also knows that many students at his school think that SAT scores are good indicators of how smart a person is. Yet the night before the test, rather than get a good night's sleep, Mike goes out with his friends, has a few beers, comes home late, and wakes up with a hangover. With this information in mind, we might suspect that Michael:

a. Is engaging in self-socialization
b. Is engaging in self-handicapping
c. Has fallen victim to the imaginary-audience phenomenon
d. Has poorly developed social information processing skills
