The purpose of the current study was to explore the mediating effects of impostorism on the association between survivor guilt feelings and self-report depressive symptomatology. Ninety-seven African American college students were asked to complete measures of empathy based survivor guilt, impostor feelings, and depression. Results indicated that higher scores of survivor guilt were associated with increased depressive symptomatology and more intense impostor feelings. Moreover, as hypothesized, impostor feelings mediated the relationship between survivor guilt and depressive symptomatology, such that the relationship between survivor guilt and depressive symptoms was attenuated. Implications of the study's findings for university administrators and clinicians are discussed. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
