Publisher's Synopsis
Embark on a qualitative journey into the lives of Christians in Arizona, ages 30-50, as they grapple with the complexities of impostor phenomenon during their spiritual identity formation. This descriptive study draws upon social influence theory, subject-object constructive-development theory, and the approach/avoidance coping model of stress to illuminate the intricate dynamics at play.
Three pivotal research questions guide the exploration: How do individuals in this demographic experience impostor phenomenon during spiritual identity formation? How does the church support them in navigating this phenomenon? And, crucially, how do they cope with the challenges posed by impostor phenomenon?
