本研究主要探討在冒牌者症候群與社群成癮間之關聯性分析。冒牌者症候群主要特徵為個人本身沒辦法將成就歸於自我能力，將原因歸於他人的協助、幸運以及害怕外界評價自我等等原因進而導致加深對於自我成就的否定。而現在人使用社群平台為普遍之現象，人們利用社群媒體建構品牌形象、連結他人人脈等等諸多用途。而此論文主要分析對於社群媒體依賴度高的人是否導致更嚴重的冒牌者症候群。此研究方法將採用問卷調查法，以台灣族群為研究對象，並使用「冒牌者症候群」、「完美主義」以及「社群成癮」三份量表為研究的評量方式，並收集有效樣本303份，最後將蒐集樣本使用敘述統計分析及Anova分析呈現。
結果顯示出不同世代的冒牌者症候群有顯著性差異，且社群成癮的受測者冒牌者症候群明顯較高，並在最後提出對未來研究方向的建議。

Imposter syndrome means feeling incompetent or fraudulent even though you are demonstrably competent, which leads to psychological problems and anxiety for those affected. Past research has shown that people suffer from the Imposter Phenomenon in a variety of situations, such as when they have received a promotion, when parents have raised them incorrectly in childhood, when students have interned in the healthcare field, etc. Social media use is widespread these days. People use social media to connect with others, post their life, and share the news. However, those who spend too much time on social platforms and social networks may suffer from media addiction. Moreover, the content we consume on social media has the power to impact our emotions and behavior daily. Therefore, it is worthwhile to investigate these two constructs, the imposter phenomenon and social network addiction. Goal of this research is to investigate the connection between the Imposter Phenomenon, Perfectionism and social media addiction. This study consisted of 303 participants (female=228 male=75) to compare gender and different generations. They finished the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale, the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, and the Social Networking Addiction Scale. The samples are analyzed using descriptive statistics and Anova to determine the final result. The final result shows that participants from different generations suffer from Imposter Syndrome and that there are significant differences between them. In addition, most results indicate that the situation is more serious in women than in men on every scale.
