“I Deserve to Help!” Effects of Entitlement and Social Influence Appeals on Prosocial Motivations
Entitlement—a sense that one deserves more than others—typically reduces prosocial motivations. We further investigate this relationship by considering the interplay between entitlement and social influence appeals. We demonstrate that a consistency appeal reinforces the negative effect of entitlement on prosocial motivations, while a scarcity appeal fully attenuates it.
