Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-defeating behaviors are actions that appear to be intentional but are ultimately harmful to a person's self-interest. These behaviors can range from procrastination to substance abuse and can be difficult to overcome without awareness and intervention. Self-serving biases refer to a tendency to attribute positive outcomes to oneself and negative outcomes to external factors, while self-esteem conflicts and self-abuse behaviors are not necessarily related to intentional self-defeating actions.
