Sažetak
The impostor phenomenon is a complex psychological construct in which people doubt their abilities, feel like imposters, and attribute their success to char or a set of circumstances, but not to their own engagement and intelligence. This cross-sectional study was conducted among fifth-year students (N = 31) of the Veterinary
Faculty University of Zagreb. The questionnaire contained sociodemographic characteristics and the Clance Rating Scale of the Impostor Phenomenon (CIPS). The imposter phenomenon is classified into the following categories: a) few characteristics - 40 or less points, b) moderate experiences - 41 to 60 points, c) often - 61 to 80 points, and d) intense features - more than 80 points. The largest proportion of students was in the category of frequent feelings (35.48 %; N = 11), followed by the category with moderate feelings (29.03 %,
N = 9). Immediately thereafter follows the category of intense features (22.58 %; N = 7), while the fewest respondents are in the category in which the feelings of the impostor phenomenon are limited (12.90 %; N = 4). According to gender, a more intense feeling of the phenomenon was recorded among female students. The impostor phenomenon undoubtedly has great public health and clinical significance, given that it correlates with anxiety and depression, and it is necessary to determine the risk factors both at the institutional and individual level. In further studies, protective factors, such as lower academic demands, a more active social life,
a better balance between free time and romantic relationships, should be identified and their impact should be promoted through study programs with systematic assessment and monitoring of mental health.
