Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic created many challenges for different groups, including students, such as impostorism. The impostor phenomenon is an individual experience in which a person doubts himself and his abilities, which has many consequences, especially for students; Based on this, the current research was conducted with the aim of predicting the impostor phenomenon based on attachment styles, self-esteem and self-compassion in the covid-19 pandemic.
Method: The present research is of applied type and in terms of descriptive method (correlation). The statistical population included all male and female students of Kashan University in the academic year of 2021-2022. 400 students were studied by available sampling method. The instruments used in this research included the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (1985), Hazen and Shaver Attachment Styles Questionnaire (1987), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965) and the short form of Rees et al.'s Self-Compassion Scale (2011). In the analysis of research data, Pearson correlation and stepwise regression analysis were used.
Findings: The results showed that There is a significant correlation between impostorism and secure (-0.11, p<0.01), anxious (0.43, p<0.01) and avoidant (0.24, p<0) attachment styles, self-compassion (-0.60, p<0.01) and self-esteem (-0.57, p<0.01). Also, self-compassion, anxious attachment and self-esteem respectively had the largest contribution in predicting impostorism.
Conclusion: The findings of the current research on the role of attachment style, self-compassion and self-esteem in impostorism have practical implications for academic counseling centers and crisis management organizations. The results of this project can answer some educational-health needs in the field of preventing psychological problems among students, including impostorism in critical situations such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
