The present study examined the effects of public self-focus and participants’ sex on self - handicapping behavior. Research in the area of self - handicapping has consistently shown that men alone tend to self - handicap behaviourally. Because conditions of public self - focus tend to make the evaluative implications of per formance more salient, the authors hypothesized that people would self - handicap more when they are self - focused (as opposed to other - focused). Men and women were presented with an important intellectual evaluation and were allowed to practice for the upcoming test as much as they wanted. Results showed that men self - handicap more when they are self - focused but women do not behaviourally self - handicap under self - or other - focused conditions. Heightened concern over possible failure in self - focused conditions appeared to be the critical mediator in encouraging self - handicapping behaviour among men.
