The aim of presented studies (N = 495) was to detect temperamental and personal predictors of entitlement attitudes: active, passive and revengefulness among adult persons. Authors assumed that only in the case of revengefulness the significant and important temperamental and personal predictors exist. There were used EAS and NEO -FFI methods. Entitlement (active attitude) was related to higher Activity and lower Agreeableness, demandingness (passive attitude) was related to higher Neuroticism, revengefulness was related to higher Anger, lower Agreeableness and lower Openness to Experience.
In this study, a novel questionnaire assessing human attitudes to death is introduced. Invented questionnaire comprises two scales: death anxiety and death fascination. Death anxiety refers to general fear of death, especially related to oneself. Death fascination contains not only purely cognitive interest in death and dying, but also acceptance of committing suicide and declared death desire. Validation was performed on 725 subjects – mostly citizens of Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot, in majority undergraduate and secondary school students of both sexes. This included testing internal consistency, temporal stability, and external validity. Final version of Death Anxiety and Fascination Scale contains 23 items. „Anxiety” scale consists of 9 items, „Fascination” – 14. Reliability of „Anxiety” scale equals 0,80, and of „Fascination” 0,90 (Cronbach’s alpha). The results show high validity and temporal stability of presented method.
The paper presents results from the survey realized on a sample of Polish Internet users (N = 1900) concerning relations between entitlement attitudes and Schwartz`s types of values. Three entitlement attitudes were distinguished: active entitlement, passive entitlement and revengefulness. Active entitlement was positively related to Openness to Change, negatively to Conservative values (ie. Conformity), positively to Self-Enhancement (Hedonism) and negatively to Self-Transcendence values. Passive entitlement was related positively to the two values of Self-Transcendence (Benevolence and Universalism), and contrary to predictions to Self-Direction, and negatively to Power. Revengefulness was related negatively to Self-Transcendence and to Conformity and positively to Self-Enhancement (ie. Power, Hedonism), Openness to Change (Stimulation, Self-Direction), and Security values. Results point to different motivational sources of particular entitlement attitudes related to self versus others interests and to Openness to Change-Conservatism dimension.
