We are currently conducting a meta-analysis focusing on the conceptual antecedents and consequences of the impostor phenomenon in academic contexts. While we are already far along in the meta-analytical process (i.e., completion of exhaustive database and conference proceedings search; development of conceptual model, inclusion criteria, and coding protocol; coding of the literature), we are now reaching out to the community to request any unpublished manuscripts and data on the topic (e.g., dissertations, preprints, work currently under revision or in press, unpublished data sets).

Specifically, we are looking for:

  • correlational studies (i.e., cross-sectional, longitudinal designs, diary studies)
  • that explore the impostor phenomenon (i.e., impostor phenomenon, impostor syndrome, impostor thoughts, impostor feelings)
  • and at least one correlate of the impostor phenomenon (e.g., demographics, educational characteristics, career aspects, personality characteristics, organizational climate, social climate, mental well-being)
  • in an academic population (i.e., students, Ph.D. students, researchers).

If you have data that match the above criteria and that you are willing to contribute to our meta-analysis, please contact us at gudrun.reindl@uni-leipzig.de. Upon reaching out, we will provide you with specific details regarding the required data and study information. We will use your data exclusively for the intended purpose of this meta-analysis.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could reach out to us by October 1st.

Thank you very much for your time and for considering our request.
