Countering Soloist Impostor Syndrome Among African American Male First-Year Students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities: Preventative Solutions for Future Post-Graduate Career Preparation and Professional Success
Abstract
Impostor syndrome details the occurrence of individuals who have a tendency to doubt their achievements and the skills that accompany them, despite the feedback that they are receiving from others. People who exhibit the behavior of the soloist function of impostor syndrome believe that they must solve any setbacks in their life on their own, without any outside help. This chapter focuses on soloist imposter syndrome (SIS) in first-year African American male students in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities or HBCU environment. The chapter's goal is to help the student overcome SIS by fostering workable curriculum, advising, mentoring and counseling, and career preparatory-based solutions for their success. Additionally, the chapter also stresses the student's ability to access spirituality by using their relationship with the higher power of their understanding to assist in adapting to the new environment.
