A typology of students based on academic entitlement

Accounting Students’ Academic Fraud: Empirical Evidence from Indonesia

“…Students expected to receive such academic entitlements as good grades and rewards like money or prizes for good grades. Due to this perception, students were encouraged to commit academic frauds (Luckett et al, 2017). Academic entitlement included not only sense of right in academic field they thought they were ought to obtain, rather academic entitlement was also associated with problematic behavior such as academic frauds (Reysen et al, 2017).…”

“…Students with high academic entitlement are more likely to be pressured to obtain good grades to make their parents happy and they wish that they will be appreciated with some money or prize for getting good grades. This perception could encourage students to commit academic frauds (Luckett et al, 2017). Academic entitlement includes not only the sense of right in academic field, rather it can also be associated with problematic behaviors such as frauds (Reysen, et al, 2017).…”

‘See Me as I see Myself:’ A Phenomenological Analysis of Grade Bump Requests

“…The second definition includes three aspects: students' sense of deserving a reward that is not based on academic merit, diminished sense of personal responsibility, and expectations about teachers beyond those of providing educational opportunities and instruction (Jackson, Singleton-Jackson, & Frey, 2011). Since then, other definitions have emerged (see Luckett, Trocchia, Noel, & Marlin, 2017). Taking up Singleton-Jackson et al's call for future research to further explore and define this construct, this study takes a closer look at one specific instance of AE: the request to raise one's grades.…”

“…As Grubbs, Exline, Campbell, Twenge, and Pargament (2018) indicate, psychological entitlement is part of the larger construct under which AE is just one domain. Luckett et al (2017) expanded our understanding of this construct by identifying three domains where entitlement is manifest: grades, behaviors, and service. Future research should expand on these AE domains to elucidate how entitlement is manifest in other student demands.…”

Dealing With Entitled Students

“…However, although more men scored high on AE in 2009 (50%) in comparison with women (34%), this difference was not present in 2017. Luckett, Trocchia, Noel, and Marlin (2017), in a sample of 293 university business students, found a little more than 76% of their sample scored low on their measure of AE. Only 17% of their sample scored high on AE.…”
