“…Notably, the study is limited to three tests of MI (e.g., gender, sample, age). Other groupings deserve research attention; for example, if the PES-G/V holds promise for theory building and clinical assessment (Lukowitsky & Winseman, 2020), it would be useful to study whether PES-G/V's structure is invariant across clinical and non-clinical samples. Also, the present evidence relied on samples that were all derived from the US, so it remains unclear whether the present findings could be replicated in a different culture or within other countries.…”

“…Evidence from confirmatory factor analysis has supported the PES-G/V’s intended two-dimensional structure (i.e., vulnerable- and grandiose-based entitlement), and correlational evidence has supported the construct validity of the PES-G and PES-V (Hart, Tortoriello, & Breeden, 2020; Hart, Tortoriello, & Richardson, 2020). As such, the PES-G/V may be useful for basic theory-building and clinical assessment (see Lukowitsky & Winseman, 2020).…”

Abstract. Entitlement has attracted interest across various social science disciplines due to its broad connection to selfish decision-making outcomes and mental health. Although unidimensional entitlement scales have been widely used, these scales conflate vulnerable- and grandiose-based entitlement forms. The Psychological Entitlement Scale – Grandiose-Based and Vulnerable-Based (PES-G/V) was recently devised to measure these entitlement forms. Prior work has supported the structure and construct validity of the PES-G/V, but no research has addressed the measurement invariance (MI) of the PES-G/V. Hence, we examined MI in relation to gender, two popular sampling frames in psychology studies (US MTurk participants and US college participants), and age. Results supported scalar MI across levels of each of the grouping variables. In sum, the structural properties of the PES-G/V seemed robust to the group distinctions.
