Integrating REBT and ACT : An intervention study for managing academic self-handicapping behaviour among young adults

The data consists of pre and post interventions scores of 25 participants who were selected based on their ratings on Academic self -handicapping scale (Geetika & Gupta, 2020) . Thirteen participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group which was exposed to 8 hours of intervention that combined REBT and ACT. Twelve participants were randomly assigned to the control group and did not receive any intervention. The pre-intervention scores on Academic self -handicapping scale (Geetika & Gupta, 2020) were assessed at the beginning of the intervention and at two weeks since the beginning of the intervention. Sub scale scores on Behavioural and Claimed self -handicapping were recorded and overall score by adding the two were also obtained.
