Parentifiation and attitudes toward gender roles as predictors of the imposter phenomenon

Öz

This study examines the predictive roles of parentification and gender roles on the impostor phenomenon. The relational survey model was employed in the research. The sample of the study consists of 521 participants, with 345 being female and 176 being male. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form, Clance's Impostor Phenomenon Scale, Parentification Inventory, and Gender Roles Attitude Scale. Initially, the findings were analyzed to determine whether dependent and independent variables differed according to demographic variables using paired samples t-tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Post-Hoc tests were applied to identify the sources of differences where significant variances were found. In the subsequent phase, simple and multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between the impostor phenomenon and attitudes towards parentification and gender roles. The results indicated that the impostor phenomenon and the sub-dimensions of parentification, namely sibling-focused parentification, parent-focused parentification, and perceived benefit/adaptation, did not vary according to gender, age, and education level, whereas attitudes towards gender roles did differ. Additionally, it was found that the impostor phenomenon and attitudes towards gender roles and perceived benefit/adaptation varied according to parental attitudes, whereas sibling-focused and parent-focused parentification did not vary according to parental attitudes. As a result of the regression analysis conducted to examine the relationship between the imposter phenomenon and other variables, it was concluded that the variables of parentification and attitudes towards gender roles predicted the imposter phenomenon.
