1. Rice and colleagues in the Journal of the National Medical Association (2023) reported on a study examining the experience of impostor syndrome among students who are underrepresented in their discipline. Impostor syndrome is a common experience, referring to a feeling of intellectual inadequacy and worries that one may be discovered as an intellectual fraud. These concerns are typically unwarranted and can get in the way of students reaching their potential. Let’s imagine a study similar to Rice and colleagues where students from the School of Medicine and the School of Psychological Sciences were assessed on their level of impostor syndrome using the Harvey Impostor Phenomenon Scale. In both Schools, a group of first year and a group of fourth year students took part in the study. Every participant was also asked as to whether they felt that they were part of a cultural group that was underrepresented in their particular discipline, and they were categorised as being from a well-represented group or an under-represented group. ii.

Question
- Rice and colleagues in the Journal of the National Medical Association (2023) reported on a study examining the experience of impostor syndrome among students who are underrepresented in their discipline. Impostor syndrome is a common experience, referring to a feeling of intellectual inadequacy and worries that one may be discovered as an intellectual fraud. These concerns are typically unwarranted and can get in the way of students reaching their potential. Let’s imagine a study similar to Rice and colleagues where students from the School of Medicine and the School of Psychological Sciences were assessed on their level of impostor syndrome using the Harvey Impostor Phenomenon Scale. In both Schools, a group of first year and a group of fourth year students took part in the study. Every participant was also asked as to whether they felt that they were part of a cultural group that was underrepresented in their particular discipline, and they were categorised as being from a well-represented group or an under-represented group. ii. Specify the experimental design for this study (e.g. a 4x2 mixed design)
Solution
The experimental design for this study is a 2x2x2 mixed factorial design. The factors in this design are:
-
School (School of Medicine and School of Psychological Sciences) - This is a between-subjects factor, as different participants are in different levels of this factor.
-
Year of study (first year and fourth year) - This is a between-subjects factor, as different participants are in different levels of this factor.
-
Representation (well-represented group and under-represented group) - This is a within-subjects factor, as the same participants are in both levels of this factor.
Each participant is measured on their level of impostor syndrome using the Harvey Impostor Phenomenon Scale.
