Abstract

Aggrieved entitlement (AE) refers to the defensiveness and hostility majority-group members feel toward the outgroup in response to a perceived threat of lost privileges. Over the last couple of years, AE has garnered a great deal of attention in the media as well as in the empirical literature because of its connection with extremism and violence against minority groups. Yet, to date, research quantifying and measuring the construct of AE is scant. In this paper, we aim to bridge this gap. Across two studies (N1 = 813; N2 = 1,100) we explore the factor structure of the Aggrieved Entitlement Scale (AES) and examine its concurrent and divergent validity with related demographic, attitudinal, and personality factors. We found that the AES was positively correlated with racist attitudes, fear-based xenophobia, authoritarianism, sexism, transphobia, and sexual entitlement. We further found that it was negatively correlated with feminist attitudes, honesty-humility, and compassionate love. In both samples, scores were higher among men (vs. women) and heterosexual (vs. sexual minority) individuals. Finally, in contrast to our expectations, racial and ethnic minority participants scored higher in AE than White participants. Results from this work offer initial support for the use of the AES and call for more research into the topic.

委屈权利量表:老问题新对策
委屈的权利(AE)指的是多数群体成员因感受到失去特权的威胁而对外部群体产生的防卫和敌意。在过去的几年里,AE 因其与极端主义和针对少数群体的暴力行为的联系而受到媒体和实证文献的广泛关注。然而,迄今为止,对 AE 概念进行量化和测量的研究还很少。本文旨在弥补这一空白。通过两项研究(N1 = 813;N2 = 1,100),我们探索了 "委屈权利量表"(AES)的因子结构,并检验了其与相关人口、态度和人格因子的并发和发散有效性。我们发现,AES 与种族主义态度、基于恐惧的仇外心理、独裁主义、性别歧视、变性恐惧症和性权利呈正相关。我们还发现,它与女权主义态度、诚实-谦逊和同情之爱呈负相关。在这两个样本中,男性(相对于女性)和异性恋(相对于性少数群体)个体的得分更高。最后,与我们的预期相反,少数种族和少数族裔参与者的 AE 分数高于白人参与者。这项工作的结果为使用 AES 提供了初步支持,并呼吁对该主题进行更多研究。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Interpersonal Violence is devoted to the study and treatment of victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence. It provides a forum of discussion of the concerns and activities of professionals and researchers working in domestic violence, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, physical child abuse, and violent crime. With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods. JIV does not publish reviews of research, individual case studies, or the conceptual analysis of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
