Key Points

Evaluate the psychometric properties, construct validity, and factor structure of the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale in relation to perceived fraudulence and other psychological measures.
Compared the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale with the Perceived Fraudulence Scale to assess internal consistency and convergent validity.
Assessed discriminant validity by comparing scale scores against standardized measures of depression, self-esteem, social anxiety, and self-monitoring.
Conducted principal components analysis on scale items to identify underlying factor dimensions.
Both the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale and the Perceived Fraudulence Scale demonstrated high internal consistency and similar patterns of correlation across measures.
Impostor phenomenon scores correlated with but were substantially discriminable from depression, self-esteem, social anxiety, and self-monitoring.
Principal components analysis yielded three stable factors underlying the scale: Fake, Discount, and Luck.

Abstract

The Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS; Clance, 1985) was compared to the newly developed Perceived Fraudulence Scale (Kolligian & Sternberg, 1991). The two scales were found to have high internal consistency and to correlate in a similar manner with other measures. Further, discriminant validity evidence for the Impostor Phenomenon (IP) was provided by comparing the CIPS to measures of depression, self-esteem, social anxiety, and self-monitoring. The IP was related to, but substantially discriminable from, these constructs. Finally, construct validity evidence for the CIPS was provided through principal components analysis that yielded three stable factors: Fake, Discount, and Luck.
