Entitled Due to Deprivation vs. Superiority: Evidence That Unidimensional Entitlement Scales Blend Distinct Entitlement Rationales across Psychological Dimensions.
Journal of Personality Assessment 2019 October 17
We aimed to corroborate the notion that the Psychological Entitlement Scale (PES), a popular unidimensional index of psychological entitlement, resembles a blend of vulnerable- and grandiose-based entitlement rationales across various psychological dimensions. College participants ( N = 523) were randomly assigned to complete either the PES or a recently validated, multidimensional adaptation of the PES that purports to assess entitlement due to deprivation (vulnerable-based entitlement; "PES-V") and superiority (grandiose-based entitlement; "PES-G") claims. Participants then completed a battery of psychological dimensions including: narcissism constructs, interpersonal vulnerability and mood pathology, psychological health, normal personality and personality-disorder traits, motivation systems, a deprived identity, and status aspiration. Profile-similarity indices indicated that PES was more similar to PES-G than PES-V across psychological dimensions. Likewise, additional analyses revealed that indicators of "narcissistic entitlement" exhibited stronger profile similarity to PES-G than PES-V across psychological dimensions. In conclusion, profiles of the PES and narcissistic entitlement appear to blend grandiose- and vulnerable-based entitlement, but grandiose-based (vs. vulnerable-based) entitlement seems more prominent in the blend. As a result, unidimensional measures can create a somewhat misleading portrait of the psychologically entitled.
