摘要

The imposter phenomenon (IP) is a destructive set of beliefs, traits, and experiences in which high-achieving individuals fail to internalize their accomplishments and falsely perceive themselves as frauds. IP is a function of underrepresentation and contributes to and perpetuates a cycle of low self-worth, perfectionism, and anxiety, all of which negatively affect job performance and reinforce the IP cycle. Mitigating the deleterious effects of IP requires first naming this phenomenon and recognizing the patterns of IP. In this article, we summarize pertinent social science literature on this topic and share experiences of IP as told by the authors and anonymous contributors. We highlight the potential destructive effects of IP, as well as strategies that mentors and trainees can utilize to counter this phenomenon.
