Impostor syndrome and burnout among VMU students

Hello, 

I am Lina Ambrasaitė, a third-year student of  Vytautas Magnus University. I am doing research about impostor syndrome and burnout among VMU students. 

Impostor syndrome is a psychological pattern where one doubts one's accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. 

I will be very grateful if you take 3 mins of your time and answer the questions in this anonymous survey. 

 

 

I’m afraid that people who are important to me will find out that I’m not as capable as they think I am.

If I’m going to receive a promotion or gain recognition of some kind, I hesitate to allow myself to believe in it until it is an accomplished fact.

I often worry about not succeeding with a project or examination, even though others around me have considerable confidence that I will do well.

Sometimes I’m afraid that others will discover how much knowledge or ability I really lack.

If I receive a great deal of praise and recognition for something I’ve accomplished, I tend to discount the importance of what I’ve done.

I sometimes think to myself I must have obtained my present position or gained my present success because I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and/or I knew the right people.

I am disappointed with my present accomplishments and think I should have accomplished much more in life.

I often compare my ability with that of those around me and think they may be more intelligent, or somehow more deserving, than I am.

I feel uneasy and discouraged if I’m not “the best” or at least “very special” in situations that involve achievement.

I avoid evaluations of my performance if possible and have a dread of others evaluating me.
