The Entitlement Questionnaire

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the development of the Entitlement Questionnaire (EQ), designed to measure entitlement attitudes, understood as proneness to raising claims and to concentrating on defending one’s own rights. The Questionnaire consists of three scales: Fighting Rights – measuring proneness to fighting for one’s own rights, Belief in Obligations – measuring a conviction that the world is a net of mutual obligations between individuals and institutions, and Vindictiveness – measuring difficulties with forgiving wrongs. The study (N = 767) indicated that this method is characterized by high consistency and satisfactory stability. The pure entitlement attitude correlated positively with self-esteem, life satisfaction, individualism, narcissism and internal locus of control. Belief in obligations correlated positively with collectivism and external locus of control, and negatively with self-esteem and life satisfaction. Vindictiveness correlated positively with narcissism, however, it did not correlated neither with self-esteem nor with life satisfaction.
