Participants wanted: how attitudes toward success and mistakes affect academic performance
This study is being conducted as part of my, Sarah Hodgson’s, Honours Degree in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience.
We invite you to participate in a study investigating the relationship between the imposter phenomenon (IP) and perfectionism, self-efficacy, and ethnic minority identity in undergraduate and postgraduate university students.
Participants will be asked to complete three questionnaires that will ask about how you view your abilities and accomplishments, how you feel about being successful and about making mistakes, and how you approach challenging or unpleasant tasks and situations. After completing the questionnaires, participants will be asked to provide some demographic information about themselves (e.g. gender, age, educational background, and ethnic identity).
We are looking for participants who identify as ethnic minorities in addition to participants who do not identify as ethnic minorities. Participants should be 17 years or older and should be undergraduate or postgraduate university students.
If you are interested in participating, please get in touch using the contact details below. As compensation for your effort in completing this study, you will have the opportunity to enter to win one of four £15 Amazon (amazon.co.uk) vouchers.
