Me, Me, Me: Customization, Uniqueness, and Entitled Behavior
We show that perceived uniqueness (e.g., through customization, advertising claims, etc.) leads to entitled behavior. Entitled individuals are motivated to express their difference, and behavioral consequences can be both negative (e.g., demand higher salary) and positive (e.g., donate more to people in need).
