Journal Article
Incentivising accuracy reduces bias in the imposter phenomenon
2023
Overview
The imposter phenomenon (IP) involves a bias towards negative performance evaluation. While dispositional theories predict that such biases are inflexible, situational theories suggest that they may respond to accuracy incentives. In this study, we tested whether performance evaluation bias in IP is responsive to financially incentivising accuracy. Participants (
n
= 225) high and low in IP solved a set of reasoning problems that they were informed were designed to test their intelligence. After the task, participants estimated their performance, in either an incentivised or unincentivized condition. The results replicated previous findings, as participants high in IP evaluated their performance more negatively. However, when incentivised to do so, high IP participants became more positive in their self-assessments. Amongst low IP participants, no effect of incentive was revealed. These findings emphasise the importance of situational factors in understanding and intervening on the biases associated with IP.
