Three experiments demonstrated that feeling wronged leads to a sense of entitlement and to selfish behavior. In Experiment 1, participants instructed to recall a time when their lives were unfair were more likely to refuse to help the experimenter with a supplementary task than were participants who recalled a time when they were bored. In Experiment 2, the same manipulation increased intentions to engage in a number of selfish behaviors, and this effect was mediated by self-reported entitlement to obtain positive (and avoid negative) outcomes. In Experiment 3, participants who lost at a computer game for an unfair reason (a glitch in the program) requested a more selfish money allocation for a future task than did participants who lost the game for a fair reason, and this effect was again mediated by entitlement.
三项实验表明，感到委屈会导致一种权利感，并导致自私的行为。在实验 1 中，被指示回忆生活不公平的参与者比回忆自己感到无聊的参与者更有可能拒绝帮助实验者完成补充任务。在实验 2 中，同样的操作增加了参与多种自私行为的意图，这种效果是通过自我报告的获得积极（避免消极）结果的权利感来介导的。在实验 3 中，由于不公平的原因（程序中的故障）在电脑游戏中输了的参与者比因为公平的原因输掉游戏的参与者要求在未来的任务中分配更自私的金钱，而这种效果再次通过权利感来介导。
