Academic Self-efficacy, Academic Self-concept, and Impostor Phenomenon among High Achiever Students

Academic achievements, which should ideally be a source of pride, can instead create pressure that has the potential to trigger impostor phenomenon in some students. This study aims to examine the role of academic self-efficacy and academic self-concept on impostor phenomenon among high achiever students in Malang City. A quantitative approach with a multiple regression design was employed in this study. The respondents consisted of 385 high achiever students, meeting the criteria of class year 2019-2021, aged 18-25 years, and having a GPA above 3.50. Several instruments were used in this study, including: 1) The Academic Self-efficacy Scale (TASES); 2) The Academic Self-concept Scale Short Form (ASCS-SF); and 3) The Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS). The results indicate that academic self-efficacy and academic self-concept have a significant effect on impostor phenomenon both partially and simultaneously, with a contribution of 24.1%. Prestasi akademik yang seharusnya menjadi suatu kebanggaan, justru dapat menimbulkan tekanan tersendiri yang berpotensi memicu impostor phenomenon bagi beberapa mahasiswa.
