Many factors can contribute to impostor syndrome. Research suggests that family upbringing plays an important role. Children with controlling or overprotective parents often develop these feelings later in life. Starting something new, like a job or school program, can also cause impostor syndrome since people may lack experience in their new roles. The good news is that people can take several approaches to overcoming impostor syndrome. One method is to talk about your doubts with others. Sharing your feelings reduces loneliness and allows others to remind you of your true abilities.
许多因素都可能导致冒名顶替症候群。研究显示家庭教养扮演著重要的角色。如果父母控制欲过强或过度保护，孩子在往后的生活中会经常产生这些感觉。开始从事像新工作或新的学校课程等事物时，也可能导致冒名顶替症候群，因为人们可能缺乏新角色的经验。好消息是人们可以采取多种方法来克服冒名顶替症候群。其中一种方法是与他人谈论你的疑虑。分享你的感受可以减少孤独感，并让别人得以提醒你真正的能力。
