Graphical Abstract (for review)Highlights We replicate the results of Ross, Canada, and Rausch (2002). Personality accounts for 25% of the variance in self-handicapping. The prediction of self-handicapping from personality is stable across time. The findings suggest choice of coping strategy may be a function of personality. *Highlights (for review)PERSONALITY AND SELF-HANDICAPPING 2 AbstractResearchers have suggested that self-handicapping is a function of personality. According to the Five Factor Model, personality can be understood in terms of openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Ross, Canada, and Rausch (2002) found lower conscientiousness predicted higher self-handicapping. However, their study was limited by the use of concurrent data. As a result, the purpose of this study was to 1) replicate the findings of Ross, Canada, and Rausch (2002) in predicting self-handicapping from conscientiousness and neuroticism, and 2) extend on those findings by cross-validating the prediction equation in a longitudinal sample. The results essentially replicated the findings of Ross, Canada, and Rausch (2002), and demonstrated the relationship between personality and self-handicapping tendencies was stable over a one-semester timeframe.
