the COVID 19 pandemic. The current study tries to explore the role of Perceived Social
Support and Self awareness in determining this phenom enon among the adolescent and adult
population of Kerala. The data for the current work was analyzed using SPSS and Jamovi.
The results of the study revealed that self awareness and perceived social support are the
significant predictors of imposter. The f indings of the study along with the limitations and
