The present study aimed to identify the self-regulation level among university students, and disclose the predictive ability of self-regulation in their academic achievement. The sample of the study consisted of 312 students (177 male and 135 female) chosen from the Jadara University in Jordan by the available method. To achieve the study’s objectives, a self-regulation scale prepared by Mriyan (2010) after verifying its validity and reliability indices. The results indicated that the students have a medium degree of self-regulation on the scale as a whole and the sub-fields. The results of the study also showed there were statistically significant differences (α = 0.05) in the level of self-regulation on the scale as a whole and on the two fields: determining and setting goals and self-control due to gender in favor of females. However; there were no statistically significant differences in students' grades on the two fields' self-observation and selfreaction due to gender. Finally, study results indicated two fields of self-regulation predicted the students' academic achievement: the field of determining and setting goals, and the field of self-act reaction, where the expositor variance ratio for them in the academic achievement amounted to (0.186%).

Self-handicapping includes strategies of externalization in which people excuse failure and internalize success, but which also prevents them from behaving in an authentic way. The goal was to investigate the relation of authenticity with self-handicapping. The study was conducted with 366 university students (176 men, 190 women; M age = 20.2 yr.). Participants completed the Turkish version of the Authenticity Scale and the Self-handicapping Scale. Self-handicapping was correlated positively with two factors of authenticity, accepting external influence and self-alienation, and negatively with the authentic living factor. A multiple regression analysis indicated that self-handicapping was predicted positively by self-alienation and accepting external influence and negatively by authentic living, accounting for 21% of the variance collectively. These results demonstrated the negative association of authenticity with self-handicapping.
