摘要

The imposter syndrome or phenomenon is characterized by feelings of intellectual inability and inability to internalize successes. While there has been a growing interest in the origins of imposter syndrome, few studies have explored the idea that these feelings of inferiority can start at some point in childhood. This study aims to evaluate to what extent and direction the imposter syndrome is related to human values and parenting styles in children. A total of 201 elementary school students, with an average age of 10 (9 to 12 years; SD = 1.06), who were mostly female (54.5%), attended public schools (97.5%), and were in the 5th (35%) year of school were included. The participants answered the Child Impostor Phenomenon Scale, Reduced Parental Perception Questionnaire, Questionnaire of Basic Values—Children, and sociodemographic questions. The results showed that the imposter phenomenon is negatively and significantly correlated with a demanding parental style (r =  − .14) and with the interactive (r =  − .15) and normative (r =  − .18) values. The parental style of paternal requirement moderates the relationship between normative human values and the imposter syndrome in children. These findings suggest the relevance of the parental profile and the values on the impostor syndrome in their children.
