Abstract

The MEG grant I was awarded was used to fund the work of several undergraduate and graduate students as we sought to present academic research and generate academic research articles for publication in various journals. This included research we have been conducting related to the “Impostor Syndrome”, where some high-achieving individuals fail to internalize their accomplishments and experience feelings of perceived fraudulence (Clance & Imes, 1978).
