Loneliness, gratitude, and entitlement among Israeli and Polish college students: A serial mediation model
We recommend that you read an article by ISRS members Roni Laslo-Roth, Sivan George-Levi, Rafał Iwański, Małgorzata Wałejko and Malka Margalit “Loneliness, gratitude, and entitlement among Israeli and Polish college students: A serial mediation model” published in Psychology in the Schools.
Highlights
The loneliness of college students reflects their cultural and environmental differences, during their college years.
Entitlement complexity: Active entitlement (a general and proactive belief in one’s rights) predicts gratefulness and reduced loneliness, whereas academic entitlement (the belief in one’s right for academic support) predicts lower levels of gratitude and higher levels of loneliness.
Israeli students reported higher levels of active entitlement and gratitude and lower levels of loneliness and academic entitlement, in comparison to Polish students.
