Abstract
Considering the lack of research regarding the association between perfectionism described by Hill et al. (2004) and impostor phenomenon, in this study I aimed to investigate the way these two variables relate one to another, on a sample of 129 Romanian students (Mage = 21.79, SD = 1.28). The instruments that I used were Perfectionism Inventory (Hill et al., 2004) and Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale elaborated in 1985. The obtained correlations were statistically significant for self-evaluative perfectionism and not significant for conscientious perfectionism. The multiple regression analysis showed that the impostor phenomenon was best predicted by the need for approval, organization and rumination dimensions of perfectionism. The obtained results, as well as their utility were thoroughly analyzed.
