Abstract

The imposter phenomenon (IP) is associated with a bias towards negative evaluation of one's own performances. This study employs an online problem-solving task to investigate this bias. Participants (graduate students from the UK, US, and Europe; n = 163) solved reasoning problems and subsequently evaluated their performance. Participants high in IP evaluated their performances more negatively than participants low in IP. This pattern was observed both during the task and after completion. It was also observed in objective assessments (estimates of accuracy) and comparative assessments (estimates of rank amongst participants). Performance evaluation bias was not associated with a bias in the selection of feedback about performance nor was it mediated by depression or self-esteem. |
