Abstract
► Mastery goals were assumed to buffer the relations between self-handicapping and its determinants. ► Individuals' self-esteem was less related to self-handicapping when students strongly emphasized mastery goals. ► High mastery goals diminish the relation between performance-avoidance goals and self-handicapping.
