The impostor phenomenon is characterized by an individual's feelings of phoniness regarding their accomplishments and an inability to internalize success. Perceived parenting style refers to the parenting approach that adolescents or children believe they received from their parents during childhood or adolescence. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of perceived parenting style on the impostor phenomenon among college students. This quantitative study involved 189 participants, comprising both male and female college students aged 18 to 23. A random sampling method was employed for data collection. Pearson’s product-moment correlation test was utilized to analyze the collected data. The instruments used in this study were Dr. Pauline Rose Clance's Impostor Phenomenon Scale and Manikandan K’s Parenting Style Scale (2013). The results indicated that there is no significant relationship between perceived parenting style and the impostor phenomenon among college students.
