Le syndrome de l'imposteur (impostor syndrome), décrit par deux psychologues américaines en 1978, désigne le sentiment de ne pas mériter sa réussite : on attribue ses succès à la chance (It was just luck) et on a peur d'être « démasqué » (to be found out). Il touche des élèves brillants comme des célébrités, souvent perfectionnistes (perfectionists). Conseils : en parler, noter ses réussites, et apprendre à reconnaître son propre mérite (to give yourself credit). Structures : I keep + V-ing (je n'arrête pas de), as if + prétérit (comme si), to be afraid of being + participe passé.
