It’s Not Impostor Syndrome but the ‘Impostorization’ of Employees That Leads to Job Dissatisfaction and Turnover
DiversityInc Best Practices2021-09-12
As professionals, we may view others as highly intelligent, talented and successful, but how do we view ourselves? “Impostors” is probably not the answer most of us would provide, at least not publicly. In reality, some of us will view ourselves as frauds, fearing that it is only a matter of time before someone discovers that we really do not belong in the spaces or positions we occupy. Collectively, these feelings and fears are referred to as impostor syndrome. While the term “syndrome” suggests it may be a health condition, and early research indicated that it was a personality trait, studies have demonstrated that impostor syndrome has various origins, including our childhood experiences and the unrealistic competence standards that we establish for others and ourselves.
Too many Asian-American students in universities? The effect of social dominance motives on support for admissions limits (in press)
Journal of Social PsychologyThis paper tests the hypothesis that support for limits on the admission of Asian students into universities is motivated by people’s social motivation – namely the desire to maintain the status hierarchy. Study 1 found that, among participants who evaluated a proposed limit to the number of Asian applicants admitted to universities, social dominance orientation (SDO) was positively related to policy support. Conversely, among participants who evaluated a proposed limit on White admits, SDO was negatively related to policy support. Study 2 found that the perceived threat of the group getting admitted at high rates explained differential support of policies that seek to limit group-specific admissions. In all, these findings suggest that attitudes toward changes in campus demographics may be rooted in a desire to maintain the status hierarchy.
Social dominance orientation moderates reactions to Black and White discrimination claimants
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology2014-04-30
We suggest that because racial discrimination claims made by Blacks potentially challenge the legitimacy of racial inequality, whereas racial discrimination claims made by Whites potentially reinforce the legitimacy of racial inequality, social dominance orientation (SDO) may differentially predict reactions to Black and White discrimination claimants.
Are admissions decisions based on family ties fairer than those that consider race? Social dominance orientation and attitudes toward legacy vs. affirmative action policies
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology2013-10-30
This paper tests the competing hypotheses that social dominance orientation (SDO) reflects a specific desire to protect ingroup interests vs. a general desire to maintain status hierarchies by examining attitudes toward hierarchy-enhancing (i.e., legacy) and hierarchy-attenuating (i.e., affirmative action) selection policies.
Perspective-taking and empathy: Generalizing the reduction of group bias toward Asian Americans to general outgroups
