| Abstract
|
:
|
The relationship between religion and well-being has been widely studied. A preponderance of research on the topic indicates that religion is beneficial to our physical health, mental health, and social well-being. Nevertheless, religious distress can manifest in individuals who are adherents of varied faith traditions. Studies regarding the basis of religious distress and the characteristics of people who experience religious distress are limited. Even still, research suggests that religious distress can develop out of existing psychopathology. This study examined whether religious distress can present as an offshoot of the impostor phenomenon. To study this, the Muslim Religious Impostor Scale (MRIS) was created. In Study 1, a sample of 272 Muslims was used to cross validate the MRIS with the Clance Impostor Phenomenon. The analysis of Study 1 showed that the MRIS was a valid instrument with a distinct factor. Study 2 examined factors that were mostly likely to be associated with the development of religious impostorism. The findings from Study 2 revealed religious impostorism was a significant predictor of stress, state anxiety, trait anxiety, and depression.
