B
Competence does not guarantee confidence. Albert Einstein once expressed dismay about the “exaggerated esteem” won by his life’s work. The feeling that one’s abilities are overestimated by others was named “imposter syndrome” in 1978. It is blamed for mental health problems as well as for stopping many people, including women and minority groups, from reaching their potential.
But self-doubt can bring unexpected benefits. Trainee doctors who suffer from imposter syndrome have a better bedside manner. Under confident employees of a US investment advisory firm are better at helping people, co-operating and encouraging others. These findings come from a recent study by Wharton researcher Basima Tewfik. Insecure folks seemed to be spurred to prove themselves on an interpersonal level.
Imposter syndrome, the research suggests, is a double-edged sword. Fear can hold people back and make them underperform. But it can also motivate them to master their job.
Even so, it is a barrier to getting to the top. Few business and political leaders climb the greasy pole without having confidence. That is because of a widespread tendency to see bravado and charisma as a sign of leadership potential, according to Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, a business psychology professor at University College London and Columbia University. Those with a quieter leadership style are often overlooked. Women are less likely to overrate themselves, he argues. Accordingly, many ill-suited men get top jobs. Arrogant people even use humble-bragging as a means of stealing some of the social equity of the under-confident.
A study of medical librarians found that three times as many of those who were new to the job had these feelings, compared with peers who had at least 11 years of experience. Perhaps “shushing” unruly medical students brings out the tiger in a person. Similarly, the confidence gap between male and female leaders closes with age, according to a study of business leaders by Zenger Folkman, a leadership development consultancy.
There is a case for rethinking attitudes to imposter syndrome. A lack of confidence is a blight. Its flipside—complacency and conceit—is more damaging still. But for the moment, in a world inclined to believe individuals’ own assessments of themselves, confidence is a well-rewarded characteristic. “Fake it until you make it, then keep on faking it” is the most profitable strategy for ambitious people.
A
is an unspecific psychological disease
B
appears in an unspecific group
C
has obvious gender difference
D
fades with time
正确答案 :D
解析
根据第五段可知“一项针对医学图书馆员的研究发现,与有至少11年工作经验的同行相比,初入工作岗位的人有这种感觉(不自信)的人数是他们的三倍。男性和女性领袖之间的信心差距会随着年龄的增长而缩小。”因此可判断出,这种感觉是会随着时间的推移散去的。故本题答案为D。
