我们讨论了怀疑一个人的能力的结构，并提出怀疑可以有无数的后果（例如，自我设限，防御性悲观主义）。当自我怀疑与对表现的担忧结合在一起时，我们关注的是它的影响，并断言这种结合会导致主观成就过高的现象。在两项研究中，我们提出了一个新的17项主观超额成就量表（SOS），它包括两个独立的子量表，测量自我怀疑和对绩效的关注的个体差异。第一项研究由两个大样本组成（Ns = 2311和1703），证明量表具有较高的内部一致性和明确的双因素结构。此外，量表具有足够的重测信度（Ns = 67和115）。第二项研究表明，SOS具有良好的收敛效度和判别效度。这两个分量表都与社会期望无关，但却表现出与其他相关构念相关的预测模式。关注表现子量表与成就动机相关，而自我怀疑子量表与评估消极情感（如自尊、社交焦虑）和其他与关注能力相关的自我相关策略（如自我设限、防御性悲观主义、冒充者现象）相关。SOS结合了这两个子量表，似乎挖掘了一种独特的策略，个人可能会用它来处理对自己能力的怀疑。
We discuss the construct of doubt about one's competence and suggest that doubt can have myriad consequences (e.g., self-handicapping, defensive pessimism). We focus on the effect of self-doubt when it is combined with a concern with performance and assert that this combination leads to the phenomenon of subjective overachievement. In two studies, we present a new 17-item Subjective Overachievement Scale (SOS), which includes two independent subscales measuring individual differences in self-doubt and concern with performance. The first study, consisting of two large samples (Ns = 2,311 and 1,703), provides evidence that the scale has high internal consistency and a clear two-factor structure. Additionally, the subscales have adequate test-retest reliability (Ns = 67 and 115). A second study reveals that the SOS has good convergent and discriminant validity. Both subscales are unrelated to social desirability but exhibit the predicted patterns of associations with other related constructs. The Concern with Performance Subscale is correlated with achievement motivation, whereas the Self-Doubt Subscale is correlated with scales assessing negative affectivity (e.g., self-esteem, social anxiety) and other self-related strategies associated with concerns about one's competence (e.g., self-handicapping, defensive pessimism, impostor phenomenon). The SOS, which combines the two subscales, appears to tap a unique strategy that individuals may use to deal with doubts about their own competence.
