Glen Wood is undertaking a study for the Decent Work and Productivity Research Centre at MMU that will explore the effects of Impostor Phenomenon (IP) in military veterans. As a veteran, you may or may not have experienced IP, therefore they would like to invite you to participate.  Your experiences will help them identify factors that may make veterans more or less likely to suffer IP and, as a result, aid organisations’ understanding of how to support veterans in the workplace.

Imposter Phenomenon, commonly known as Imposter Syndrome, is a widely reported but hugely misunderstood mental health condition that affects the majority of the population and is suspected to affect Veterans in transition to civilian life, perhaps more than other groups; stopping veterans from integrating back into society and limiting their success in their new employment.

At Manchester Metropolitan University, they are studying Impostor Phenomenon and UK Veterans, and what might be done to limit its effects.

If you are a veteran, and you could spare a few minutes, please click on the link below to complete the online survey, and help us understand more about how to improve services and support for those in transition:
