“…Additional research should be conducted to assess the appropriateness of each item as well as the structure of the scale. Kopp et al (2011) developed a scale based on five key factors proposed to underlie AE. The first factor reflects the idea that KR (knowledge) is a "right" that should be provided to a "customer" (i.e., student) with minimal effort or unpleasantness on the customer's part.…”

“…(Sparks, 2012). This provocative article discussed the concept of AE (academic entitlement) and recent research conducted by Kopp, Zinn, Finney, and Jurich (2011). Kopp et al (2011) are among a handful of researchers who have attempted to define and assess academic entitlement since the topic was formally introduced 20 years ago (Morrow, 1994).…”

“…The literature discusses four measures of AE; however, all vary in how they attempt to assess AE (e.g., Chowning & Campbell, 2009;Kopp et al, 2011). Definitions include references to elements such as "personal responsibility" (Chowning & Campbell, 2009, p. 982) and "expectations of positive outcomes" (Kopp et al, 2011, p. 105).…”

Validity evidence was gathered for a new measure of academic entitlement. Two factors emerged during the creation of the scale-academic narcissism and academic outcome. Academic narcissism appears to reflect an expectation of high academic success unrelated to the effort or ability of the students. As expected, this factor was negatively correlated with students' self-reported GPA (grade point average). Males had higher academic narcissism scores than women. Academic outcome appears to reflect students' mindset that credit should be given for any effort, including attending class. As expected, this factor was not correlated with GPA and did not show sex differences. Implications and practical use of the scale are discussed.

“…The correlations all suggest that students with academic entitlement attitudes may find success and development in college more difficult because these variables are indicative of effort and college achievement. 10 Popular conjecture among educators is that parental practices that over-inflate self-esteem encourage entitlement behavior; however, Greenberger 4 reported a negative association between academic entitlement and self-esteem. Those with higher self-esteem exhibit fewer academic entitlement tendencies.…”

“…15,16 As such, students may view the exchange of money as purchase of a commodity rather than an opportunity to learn and obtain a degree. 10 Within pharmacy, the exaggerated demand for graduates as well as the rapid proliferation of colleges and schools may be further exacerbating student attitudes surrounding academic entitlement. Increased competition for potential students may be driving marketing and recruitment approaches that both new and existing colleges and schools use to entice potential applicants.…”

The constructs of academic entitlement and student consumerism refer to students' attitudes toward education as a commodity and the underlying belief that as consumers, they should be catered to and given the opportunity to participate in the education process according to their preferences. Most discussions regarding these attitudes are anecdotal, but the pervasiveness of these accounts and the troubling effects that ensue warrant attention. Grade inflation, student incivility, altered classroom practices, and decreased faculty morale are all potential aftereffects of teaching students who hold academic entitlement beliefs. Numerous factors are posited as attributing to academic entitlement including personal issues, societal pressures, and broad academic practices. This paper discusses these factors and offers faculty members and administrators recommendations regarding practices that may curb or alleviate issues associated with academically entitled students.

An examination of psychological characteristics and their relationship to academic entitlement among millennial and nonmillennial college students

Academic entitlement (AE) has been a concern among college educators due to millennial college students entering the educational setting. Although there is theoretical justification to support such conjecture, it remains unclear whether AE is more prevalent among this generation. The present study examines the relationship between narcissism, self‐esteem, gratitude, and AE between millennial and nonmillennial college students. Among millennial college students, narcissism, self‐esteem, and gratitude were found to be significant predictors of AE; however, among nonmillennial college students, only self‐esteem was found to be a significant predictor. Findings were consistent with the literature in that they demonstrate that millennial college students may be more prone to narcissism than previous generations. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
