Two groups of American undergraduates (moderate and heavy social drinkers) completed a matrix task and received either positive or negative feedback on their performance. Following this they were given a maze task, which was designed so that cheating could be detected. Heavy drinkers cheated more than moderate drinkers under success conditions (positive feedback). Heavy drinkers who received positive feedback also cheated more than heavy drinkers who received negative feedback. The results are interpreted in terms of self-handicapping theory.
两组美国本科生（适度饮酒者和重度饮酒者）完成了一项矩阵任务，并根据他们的表现得到了正面或负面反馈。在此之后，他们被给予一项迷宫任务，该任务的设计使得作弊行为能够被检测出来。在成功条件下（正面反馈），重度饮酒者比适度饮酒者作弊更多。得到正面反馈的重度饮酒者也比得到负面反馈的重度饮酒者作弊更多。研究结果依据自我妨碍理论进行了解释。
