Self-Report Questionnaire Assessment
Participants completed a structured battery of validated self-report questionnaires via a mixed paper-based (completed in class or within 48 hours) and online administration, not a single supervised classroom sitting as planned. The CIPS evaluated cognitive and affective features of impostorism; the RSES measured global self-esteem; and the Indonesian-adapted GAD-7 assessed anxiety symptom severity over the preceding two weeks. Additional self-reported items captured behavioral characteristics (nightly sleep duration and daily social media usage) alongside demographic and structural information (sex, age, cumulative GPA, scholarship status, residential arrangement, and organizational participation). No therapeutic, pharmacological, behavioral, or educational intervention was administered. Data collection was observational and cross-sectional in nature, with no manipulation of variables, experimental conditions, or intervention assignment.
