Second-career teachers’ professional identity and imposter phenomenon: nexus and correlates
The aim of the present study was to determine the connection between the prominent aspects of the second-career teachers’ professional identity and their imposterism. In addition, in a sample of one hundred and ninety-one second-career teachers, the relationship with some other psychological variables that we thought could be correlates and significant determinants was examined. Statistical analyzes highlight two-component solution for the identity structure (cooperation and students need) and two-component solution for the structure of the imposter phenomenon (true and strategic imposters). No statistically significant prediction and correlation were found between the components of professional identity and the components of imposterism.
