slate-com-7517		Is impostor syndrome real, and does it affect women more than men?			.html	text/html	1770	145	67	So she and her colleague Suzanne Imes began interviewing these women and eventually wrote up their findings in a paper called "The Impostor Phenomenon in High Achieving Women." They theorized that women were uniquely predisposed to the impostor phenomenon, "since success for women is contraindicated by societal expectations and their own internalized self-evaluations." Clance later devised a scale to help identify people with impostorism, which asked participants how much they agreed with statements such as "It's hard for me to accept compliments or praise about my intelligence or accomplishments," "At times, I feel my success has been due to some kind of luck," and "I often compare my ability to those around me and think they may be more intelligent than I am." In 1993, Clance conceded that her original theory of impostor syndrome as a uniquely female problem had been incorrect, since "males in these populations are just as likely as females to have low expectations of success and to make attributions to non-ability related factors."	./cache/slate-com-7517.html	./txt/slate-com-7517.txt
