Structural and concurrent validity of the short 10-item Arabic clance impostor phenomenon scale: A follow-up validation against the original 20-item tool.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aims: The impostor phenomenon (IP) has been linked to anxiety, depression, and burnout. The widely used 20-item Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS-20) may be burdensome in research and applied contexts. While a 10-item short form (CIPS-10) has demonstrated strong psychometric performance internationally, the Arabic version has not been psychometrically tested. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the structural and construct validity of the Arabic CIPS-10. Settings Design Methods and Materials: We conducted a cross-sectional validation study ted using a secondary analysis of Arabic CIPS-20 and new data from 679 undergraduates (mean age 21.0 years, SD = 1.92) from three Saudi universities who completed an electronic survey that included the CIPS-20 and IPSS-3. Statistical Analysis Used: Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω assessed internal consistency. We used principal component analysis (PCA) and Pearson's correlations to examine structural validity and convergent validity, respectively. Results: The Arabic CIPS-10 demonstrated excellent reliability (α =0.888; ω =0.889), with satisfactory item-rest correlations (0.505-0.742). Sampling adequacy was high (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] =0.913), and Bartlett's test was significant (χ²(45) =2855, Conclusions: The Arabic CIPS-10 is psychometrically sound and efficient, offering a practical alternative to the full CIPS-20 for assessing the impostor phenomenon in Arabic-speaking populations.
