Abstract

This study aims to examine the possible links between academic locus of control and self-handicapping. Participants were 382 university students from Sakarya University. The Academic Locus of Control Scale and the Self-handicapping Scale were used as measures. Findings showed that self-handicapping correlated positively with internal academic locus of control. Results from structural equation modeling demonstrated that the model is saturated. According to path analysis results, self-handicapping was predicted positively by internal academic locus of control and external academic locus of control.
