Resumo(s): | This article has two objectives: (a) to identify multi-goal profiles differentiated in terms of the use of self handicapping (behavioral and claimed) and defensive pessimism and (b) to analyze the relevance of each goal (learning, performance-approach, performance-avoidance, and work-avoidance) within each motivational profile to explain the use of the three self-protective strategies. A total of 940 university students participated in the study. The results indicate that both types of self-handicapping are associated to a greater degree with motivational profiles in which the performance goals (approach and avoidance) are predominant. However, defensive pessimism is used significantly more by students who adopt a profile that brings together approach goals (performance and learning) and performance-avoidance goals. Similarly, the three strategies are explained by different goals in each of the identified profiles. These findings make it possible to deepen the understanding of the relationship between academic motivation and the use of self-protection strategies. |
