Wait, we're sharing an article that quotes "Psychology Today"? Can we get Breitbart's take, too? What does InfoWars think?
So, let's take a look at the abstract of the actual study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27504935 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27504935
And, as it turns out, not a word on young people there. The entire study is on a conceptual model of entitlement, and how it leads to disappointment. Maybe the actual study (paywalled) actually does break things down by age, but it certainly doesn't seem to be a major focus.
- groby_b 9y agoSo, digging further, it seems the original press blurb from Case Western laid that trap about "millenials":https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160913134442.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160913134442.h... Previous studies show entitlement is on the rise -- so-called "millennials" see themselves as generally more entitled than previous generations; It's really hard to say if the study says that, or the study author, or Case Western. If anyone wants to spend $11.95 to find out, let us know. (But even though I'm not a millennial, I feel entitled enough that I refuse to pay for this :)
