Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marion's behavior is consistent with self-handicapping, which involves intentionally creating obstacles or excuses to minimize the potential impact of failure. By procrastinating until she has little time left to complete the project, Marion has set herself up for potential failure and can now attribute any poor performance to the lack of time, rather than her own ability or effort.
