What is imposter syndrome?
Even after writing eleven books and winning several prestigious awards, Maya Angelou couldnāt escape the nagging doubt that she hadnāt really earned her accomplishments.Ā
Albert Einstein experienced something similar: he described himself as an āinvoluntary swindlerā whose work didnāt deserve as much attention as it had received. Accomplishments at the level of Angelouās or Einsteinās are rare, but their feeling of fraudulence is extremely common. Why canāt so many of us shake feelings that we havenāt earned our accomplishments, or that our ideas and skills arenāt worthy of othersā attention?
Psychologist Pauline Rose Clance was the first to study this unwarranted sense of insecurity. She and her patients experienced something that goes by a number of names-- imposter phenomenon, imposter experience, and imposter syndrome. Together with colleague Suzanne Imes, Clance first studied imposterism in female college students and faculty. Their work established pervasive feelings of fraudulence in this group. Since that first study, the same thing has been established across gender, race, age, and a huge range of occupations, though it may be more prevalent and disproportionately affect the experiences of underrepresented or disadvantaged groups.Ā
To call it a syndrome is to downplay how universal it is. It's not a disease or an abnormality, and it isnāt necessarily tied to depression, anxiety, or self-esteem. Where do these feelings of fraudulence come from? People who are highly skilled or accomplished tend to think others are just as skilled. This can spiral into feelings that they donāt deserve accolades and opportunities over other people. And as Angelou and Einstein experienced, thereās often no threshold of accomplishment that puts these feelings to rest.
The good news? Talking about imposter syndrome helps! Hearing that an advisor or mentor has experienced feelings of imposterism can help relieve those feelings. The same goes for peers. Even simply finding out thereās a term for these feelings can be an incredible relief. Once youāre aware of the phenomenon, you can combat your own imposter syndrome by collecting and revisiting positive feedback. One scientist who kept blaming herself for problems in her lab started to document the causes every time something went wrong. Eventually, she realized most of the problems came from equipment failure, and came to recognize her own competence. We may never be able to banish these feelings entirely, but we can have open conversations about academic or professional challenges. With increasing awareness of how common these experiences are, perhaps we can feel freer to be frank about our feelings and build confidence in some simple truths: you have talent, you are capable, and you belong.
