Perfectionism, the Impostor Phenomenon, Self-Esteem, and Personality Traits among Russian College Students
Psychology in Russia: State of the Art. 2023. Vol. 16. No. 3. P. 132–148.
Background. Perfectionism and the Impostor Phenomenon (IP) have mainly been studied in American samples, as have the associations of Perfectionism and the Impostor Phenomenon with Self-Esteem and the Big Five personality traits. However, previous studies showed that results might depend on cultural background. There is a critical lack of such research in the Russian context which might limit generalization of the previous findings to a narrow range of cultures.
Objective. In this study, the authors investigated how Perfectionism and the Impostor Phenomenon are related to the 5-factor model of personality, and examined the mediating role of Self-esteem between the dimensions of Perfectionism and the Impostor Phenomenon , using a Russian sample.
Design. The study sample comprised 372 undergraduate students age 18 - 23 (M = 19.07, SD = 1.05). The Impostor Phenomenon, Personality Traits, and Self-Esteem were measured by relevant questionnaires.
Results. The results indicated that Adaptive Perfectionism had a strong positive correlation with Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Openness. Maladaptive Perfectionism had a strong relation to Conscientiousness and Neuroticism. Neuroticism demonstrated a strong positive correlation with impostor tendencies and was the main predictor. Self-esteem partially mediated the link between Maladaptive Perfectionism and the Impostor Phenomenon, intensifying negative feelings and Impostorism.
Conclusion. These results generally replicated the pattern from previous studies of the relationship between Perfectionism, the Big Five personality traits, Self-esteem, and the Impostor Phenomenon. Thus, it could be possible to conclude that the studied relationships might be regarded as universal for the Russian students in terms of culture.

Databases with emotional ratings of words are essential for studying emotional information processing in psychology, psycholinguistics, neuroscience, and related disciplines. The emotional content of stimuli is traditionally described within two approaches: dimensional (rating words on continuous scales such as valence and arousal) and categorical (rating associations of words with discrete emotion categories). Databases with emotional ...

This paper focuses on reflexive problematic statements represented by modal judgments of validity (subjective truth) and their combinations. It is proposed to describe these statements at three levels: reflexive problematic statements per se, modal judgments that characterize the validity of sentences constituting complex statements, and matrix representations of modal judgments. Modal judgments, as part of ...

The concept of the I that is present in the scholarly and mundane consciousness is inwardly paradoxical, as it contains the risk of regression to “bad infinity”. Thus, “I see an object” obviously creates in me the image of the object; by implication, “someone” inside me sees the image of the perceived object and, consequently, ...

Personality questionnaires do not directly record recurring conduct. Rather, they elicit
task-bounded reports of personality attributions: how respondents characterise themselves
using personality-descriptive content. From this perspective, established associations between
self-esteem and self-reported personality may depend on the evaluative meaning attached to
that content. We tested whether attitudes toward the Big Five traits moderated associations
between self-esteem and corresponding personality reports ...

The impostor phenomenon describes a maladaptive personality style marked by persistent self-doubt and fear of being exposed as a fraud despite evident success. Despite its global relevance, the construct’s cross-cultural measurement invariance has not yet been empirically established.
