Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Self-handicapping

hi
I can't find any of the suggested readings on e-reserve from Learning for the first assessment Can you find them on moodle, i'm worried its just my log in.

I found a few articles on the learning e-reserve site they are different to the ones i saw in the unit outline though. I can't see any on the actual moodle page Blerg26 (discuss • contribs) 02:06, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey A.S. So, I found this website that gives Creative Commons Attribution License 2.5 for ALL of its journals! so, it means we can potentially use the pics from the journals too. I've got one up already as a trial...I'm happy to meet up with you in the week to show you how to add the images to wiki commons etc.. I found this one particularly interesting, I also posed it on your book chapter. Not sure if its in the theme of things! U3049223 (discuss • contribs) 10:15, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, Your page is coming along nicely! I was just reading through your information so far and was wondering if you have looked into the mastery oriented vs. helpless oriented motivation theory? This theory seems to suggest that helpless oriented people shy away from challenges. fear failure and blame any mistake as part of the self. They say things like 'I failed because I'm no good at school work.' They avoid taking on challenges as a result. I was thinking that maybe these type of people would be more likely to self-handicap. Just something to consider as it would be interesting to look into and include. Victoriagc (discuss • contribs) 13:30, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Self-Handicapping and Alcohol
I just found this article on self-handicapping and alcohol. It could be something to have a read of and get some information from. http://ethicstalk.cmich.edu/selfhandicap.pdf I hope it helps Victoriagc (discuss • contribs) 14:19, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
