Impossive Feelings Are More Common in Women Than Men

Kevin, the psychologist pauline clans and suzanne imes first used the term impostor phenomenon in a 19 78 study. They focused on high achieving women. And it was interesting, because when they worked with them, they kept repeatedly hearing these feelings of self doubt despite their accomplishments. In my own work, i have published studies where, in one study, impostive feelings were certainly more prevalent among women than men. But in another study that i published, there was no difference between men and women.
