中文摘要：

自我妨碍是在自尊受到威胁的情形下，保护或提升个体自尊的一种策略。从总体上看，这是一种不良的应对方式。自尊作为一种重要的人格特质在自我妨碍的防御应对方式中发挥着重要作用。自我妨碍与自尊有着不可分割的联系。通过对以往相关研究进行分析、归纳和总结，结果发现，自尊水平不同的个体在其自尊受到威胁时都倾向于采取自我妨碍策略，只是各自的动机不同。造成这一结果的原因一是以往大部分的研究均未将内隐自尊和外显自尊分离，二是诱发自我妨碍的情境因素不同。内隐自尊和外显自尊是相对独立的两个结构。要想进一步理清自尊与自我妨碍之间的内在关系，研究者必须分别在不同的自我妨碍诱发情境中，探讨外显自尊与内隐自尊对自我妨碍的影响。

英文摘要：

Self-handicapping is a kind of strategy for protecting or promoting self-esteem when the self-es teem of the individual is under threat. But generally speaking, this strategy is not a positive coping style. As an important personality trait in self-handicapping coping styles, self-esteem plays an important role. Self-handicapping and self-esteem have inseparable relationships. Based on the analysis, introduction and summary of the previous relative research, the results indicate that the self-handicapping strategies were always adopted for various individuals with different levels of self-esteem when their self-esteem was under threat, and only the motivation of the individuals was different. The reason of this is that most of the past researches had not seprated implicit self-esteem and explicit self-estem and the induced situation of selfhandicapping is different. Implicit self-esteem and explicit self-esteem are two relatively independent struc- tures . To further understand the relationship of self-esteem and self-handicapping researchers must separately discuss the effects of implicit self-esteem and explicit self-esteem on self-handicapping in different induced situations of self-handicapping.
