Significant correlations are bolded, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. IP1 = “People tend to believe I am more competent than I really am”, IP2 = “I tend to feel like a phony,” IP3 = “Sometimes I’m afraid others will discover how much knowledge I really lack”; GM1 = “Becoming a top, productive scientist is possible for everyone through effort and practice”; GM2 = “Success in science is pretty much related to how much effort a person makes”
