SUPER PROUD to announce the publication of LSU Ogden Honors College alum, Amelia Knox's, first-authored paper detailing the results from her undergraduate honors thesis! Amelia's study serves as the first known test of whether imposter syndrome is related to alcohol outcomes among college students.

Imposter syndrome was statistically significantly related to coping‐motivated drinking, peak estimated blood alcohol content (eBAC), drinking frequency, and alcohol‐related problems. Imposter syndrome, via the serial effects of depression and coping motives, was significantly indirectly related to eBAC, drinking frequency, and alcohol‐related problems.

Similarly, via the serial effects of anxiety and coping motives, imposter syndrome was significantly indirectly related to eBAC, drinking frequency, and alcohol‐related problems.

Results highlight the negative impact imposter syndrome can have on mental and behavioral health among college students. Way to GEAUX, Amelia! LSU Research LSU College of Humanities & Social Sciences LSU

Undergraduate psychology major & LSU Ogden Honors College student Lan Qiu presented research from our lab at Friday’s LSU Discover - Undergraduate Research Program's Discover Day! The research project was titled: Dual Ni****ne & Cannabis Use among Asian American & Pacific Island Adults: The Role of Anxiety & Negative Reinforcement Expectancies on Ni****ne Outcome. AAPI individuals are underrepresented in psychological research, esp research on substance use, so this project fills an important gap in our understanding & has implications for culturally responsive prevention & treatment efforts.

Lan will also be presenting this work at the ABCT Addictive Behaviors Special Interest Group (SIG) & American Psychological Association Div50 Collaborative Perspectives on Addiction Annual Meeting in Kansas City at the end of this month!

In a recent paper co-authored with LSU grad student Luke Vargo & LSU Ogden Honors College alum Amelia Knox, we found that imposter syndrome was related to but distinct from social anxiety. Also, imposter syndrome was related to more cannabis problems. Imposter syndrome was indirectly related to cannabis problems via the serial effects of social anxiety & cannabis use to cope with negative emotions like social anxiety. Results highlight the negative mental & behavioral health outcomes that can be associated with thoughts of self-doubt.
