Abstract

<p>This study aimed to develop a scale for measuring self-handicapping of adult students in the learning environments of correspondence courses, and then investigate the reliability and validity of that scale. Additionally, the study also used the scale developed to examine the controllability of self-handicapping used by adult students in correspondence courses. This produced the Self-handicapping Scale for Adult Students in Correspondence Courses, which is made up of 14 items based on the four factors, “Lack of time,” “Aging,” “Lack of skills,” and “Poor physical condition.” The scale was observed to have a consistent level of reliability and validity. Investigating the controllability of these four factors showed that adult students primarily perceived the self-handicapping behavior, “Lack of time,” “Aging,” “Lack of skills,” and “Poor physical condition” to be uncontrollable. Furthermore, there were gender differences in two factors, “Aging” and “Lack of skills,” in which female students were higher than male students.</p>
