摘要

Self-handicapping poses harm to the physical and mental health, as well as personal development. The aim of the present study was to test a digital mindfulness intervention designed to reduce self-handicapping by examining mindfulness and the fear of failure as putative mediators. 73 patients with self-handicapping concerns were randomly allocated to either mindfulness (n = 31) or waiting-list group (n = 42). The intervention program had a duration of 14 days, with daily tasks requiring approximately 20–25 min to complete. Short-form five facet mindfulness questionnaire (SF-FFMQ), performance failure appraisal inventory (PFAI), and self-handicapping Scale (SHS) were measured before and after the intervention. 2 × 2 repeated-measures ANOVAs showed that compared with the waiting-list group, mindfulness significantly improved (P = 0.001), and self-handicapping and the fear of failure reduced significantly (Ps < 0.001) in the mindfulness group. Serial mediation analyses found that mindfulness and the fear of failure sequentially mediated the effects of the mindfulness invention on self-handicapping. The chain-mediated effect size accounts for 7.43% of the total effect. The digital mindfulness intervention can enhance mindfulness levels, alleviate the level of the fear of failure and self-handicapping. The chain-mediated effect of mindfulness and fear of failure may be one of the mechanisms through which digital mindfulness intervention relieves self-handicapping.
