The article presents the results of an empirical study devoted to the study of self-regulation of behavior as a factor in the formation of the impostor phenomenon. It was determined that feelings of helplessness, exhaustion, anxiety, perfectionism, flexibility, modeling and autonomy are components of self-regulation of behavior that have an impact on the emergence of the impostor phenomenon in the individual. Self-regulation of behavior in this case is characterized by a lack of flexibility and adaptability to situational factors and internal conditions due to the difficulty of modeling activities, which includes evaluating resources and conditions for achieving the set goal
