Soočanje s sindromom prevaranta pri kineziologih na začetku poklicne poti : magistrsko delo

Petrič, Žan (author), Cecić Erpič, Saša (mentor)

Sindrom prevaranta je psihološka značilnost posameznikov, ki občutijo dvom v lastne sposobnosti in kompetence, čeprav njihovi dosežki tega ne kažejo. Pogost občutek t. i. prevarantov je zavajanje svojih vadečih, nadrejenih in okolja. Počutijo se veliko manj sposobne, kakor v resnici so. Sindrom prevaranta ima negativen učinek na psihološko stanje posameznika in je pogosto povezan z drugimi lastnostmi, kot sta nevroticizem in perfekcionizem. Ti občutki lahko negativno vplivajo na posameznikovo kariero in nadaljnji razvoj. Namen magistrske naloge je bil ugotoviti prevalenco sindroma prevaranta pri osebnih trenerjih in kineziologih na začetku poklicne kariere in pripraviti smernice, ki bi jim lahko pomagale pri njegovem odpravljanju. Pri projektu je sodelovalo 115 ljudi, ki so odgovorili preko spletne ankete, želeli pa smo ugotoviti, kako pogost je sindrom prevaranta, kako se povezuje s trajanjem kariere in kako je povezan s samozavestjo. Rezultati so pokazali, da je sindrom prevaranta zelo pogost med kineziologi in osebnimi trenerji v Sloveniji, svoje zaznavanje dela označujejo kot dobro, je pa verjetnost za nastanek sindroma prevaranta manjša pri starejših kolegih kakor pri kineziologih in osebnih trenerjih, ki šele vstopajo na trg dela. Raziskava je prav tako potrdila teoretično izhodišče, da imajo višje izobraženi trenerji in kineziologi višjo verjetnost za nastanek sindroma prevaranta.

• Title: Researching impostor syndrome in kinesiologists at the beggining of their cereer path

Abstract

Impostor syndrome is a psychological characteristic of individuals who often doubt their competences and abilities although their performance does not portray that at all. Symptoms usually include deceiving their superiors, their clients or the work environment in general. They feel less competent than they generally are. Imposter syndrome has a negative effect on psychological well-being of an individual and it is often associated with other personal characteristic such as neurotisicm and perfectionism. These feelings can have a negative effect on “imposters’” career path and professional development. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the Imposter syndrome prevalence in personal coaches and kinesiologists and to prepare guidelines for treating the symptoms. 115 participants completed the online survey and we determined the prevalence of IS, how it is associated with the duration of the individuals’ careers and how it correlates with self-esteem. Results have shown that imposter syndrome has a high prevalence among Slovenian kinesiologists and personal trainers. They perceive their work as good, but there is a higher chance of IS occurrence among the younger population (e.g. students finishing their studies). The thesis has also confirmed the theoretical background which states that higher educated trainers have a higher chance of IS.
