Evaluating the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Impostor Profile scale (IPP30).

ABSTRACT: The Impostor Profile scale (IPP30) is a recently developed tool designed to delve into the nuanced aspects of the Impostor Phenomenon (IP), a psychological phenomenon where individuals wrongly attribute their successes to external factors, discounting their own abilities and often feeling like frauds. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties, including factor structure, internal consistency, and nomological validity, of the Swedish version of IPP30 (S-IPP30). In a sample of Swedish students (N = 1,010; 76.7% women; M_age = 25.65, SD_age = 6.43), Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses were conducted to scrutinize S-IPP30's structure. The analyses supported a bifactor model with six specific factors and one overarching factor. Howe
