ABSTRACT:
Self-handicapping is characterized by self-imposed performance obstacles which function to protect one's self-esteem within achievement settings. The present study sought to determine the multivariate relationship between situational self-handicapping, athlete goal orientation, and team motivational climate in competitive youth soccer (N = 206). When evaluating athlete achievement goals, perceptions of team climate, perceived competence, perceived tension, and self-rated ability, canonical correlations revealed two significant functions accounting for 31 % of the total varriance. Standardized loadings indicated that high excuse making corresponded to low task-oriented goals and high performance-related team climate. Second, excuse making and effort reduction were related to both task and ego-oriented goals, a mastery team climate and low perceived ability. Stepwise regression analyses revealed that performance-related team climate contributed significantly to the incidence of situational self-handicapping behaviors above and beyond the effect of trait self-handicapping and athlete goal orientation.
