THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
In different theories that demonstrated concept on Millennial’s Psychological
Entitlement involving parenting that further give initial support for a study presented as
claiming this one we do acknowledge the following theories and statement of principles
that best describe the ideas of the variables in this research.
1
Social Learning Theory by Theodore Millon and other social learning theorists
argued that childhood narcissism is learned, either modeled after or reinforced by
parental behavior. Specifically, these theorists have suggested that parents who indulge
their children by caving into their every whim and lavishing them with affection
regardless of their behavior are facilitating the their children’s sense of superiority and
entitlement, critical ingredients in narcissism. Such parental leniency and non-
contingent affection effectively model for the child disconnect between self-evaluation
and performance such that the positive view of the self exists independent of behavior
(i.e., “I am great no matter what I do”).
As one can see, the predictions of Millon’s social learning theory are
diametrically opposed to those of the object relations theorists, especially those of
Kernberg and Rothstein. After all, Kernberg suggested that a lack of parental affection
and excessive demands for performance create narcissism, whereas Millon posited the
opposite. Rothstein indicted parenting that creates a contingent link between behavior
and affection, whereas Millon indicted parenting that does not create such a link.
Fortunately, developmental psychologists have provided literature on parenting that
allows empirical assessment of these contrasting perspectives. It tackles about that
narcissism are either learned, reinforced or modeled by parents. The parent who
indulge their children with extravagant quantities of things regardless their affection
could lead them in superiority and sense of entitlement that possibly will turn into
2
narcissism. Parental leniency could affect the self of the child in independent
behavior[CITATION Rob \l 13321 ].
In parenting, the correlation between entitlement and parenting styles has been
the subject of much of the research devoted to the etiology of entitled attitudes. Given
by the premise that entitlement is a learned set of beliefs that is or was adaptive at
some point, analyzing 58 the role of caretakers in its development may lay a foundation
for the understanding of the development of entitled beliefs and attitudes. Recently, the
concept of over parenting as it is referred to in the media, has advanced speculation
regarding how the increase in helicopter parents and the rise in entitlement among
Millennials may be related[ CITATION Jan111 \l 13321 ][ CITATION Joh021 \l 13321 ].

parenting variable and Psychological Entitlement that affects the millennials.
Scope and Limitation:
This study involves the millennial in particular the selected 200 students of
Pamantasan Lungsod ng Muntinlupa under the department of College and Arts and
Sciencesfrom first year to fourth year students who perceive Psychological Entitlement
involving parenting.

The study limits itself to the two variable which is the millennial psychological
entitlement and parenting.
The data will be gather by letting the respondents answer the question listed in
the give questionnaire that will give sufficient on understanding the new generation and
will measures the Psychological entitlement in terms of parenting.
Significance of the Study:
This study aims to give insights relative to the understanding the new generation
in terms of Psychological Entitlement involving Parenting among the respondents which
will aid others to have a better understanding and appreciation of the new generation
may aid in providing more objectives.

This study not just made for the sake of writing a research but to reveal its
involvement through several reasons. Among those will profit the students, parents,
faculty, guidance councilor, workplace and the future researcher
Students.The outcome and the recommendation of the research may not only concern
with the respondents but may also benefit the students. It will be able to guide properly
and reinforce the students understanding, self-awareness and intrapersonal relation.
Parents. This study helps the parents understandand their prodigy better as millennials
exhibits strong connection to their parents, it is increasingly important for parents to
well-formed about the factors concerning parenting style that shapes their children in
the modern world.
Professors.It adds knowledge and information regards how to improve their student’s
perception in living the modern world by understanding and restricting the prohibited
things in the students.
Guidance Councilor. This study directs the guidance councilor on how to prepare the
students and the parents in the activities on how to avoid the sense of entitlement into
new innovative techniques.
Future Researchers. This study is also helpful to the future researcher who may raise
future question with the millennials psychological entitlement involving parenting. This
will serve as guide to come up with new findings and future discoveries.

Definition of Terms:
Authoritarian Parenting- is a parenting style characterized by high demands and
low responsiveness. The parent utilizes a strict set of standards that the child is
expected to obtain, maintain and sustain.
Authoritative Parenting- is characterized by reasonable demands and high
responsiveness. The parent works to balance the self-direction of the child with

7
discipline and conformity. The authoritative parents set reasonable standards for the
child and directs the child in a more rational manner.
Millennials – is usually considered to apply to individual who reached adulthood
around the turn of the 21st century
Parenting Style- where defined by three distinct parenting approaches (a.
authoritarian, b. authoritative, c. permissive d. negligence) they are each described
below.
Permissive Parenting- is a type of parenting style characterized by low demands
with high responsiveness. Permissive parents act as resources for their children rather
than active agents in shaping current or future behavior.
Psychological Entitlement - refers to a general belief that one deserves more or
is entitled to more than others are. It is also defined as a general belief because it is
consistent over time and across different situations.
Uninvolved parenting- is a type of parenting style that sometimes referred to as
neglectful parenting, is a style characterized by a lack of responsiveness to a child's
needs. Uninvolved parents make few to no demands of their children and they are often
indifferent, dismissive, or even completely neglectful.

Foreign Studies
Parenting
Parenting styles refer to large categories that include the attitude and beliefs of
the parents, parents’ means of disciplining children that stems from their own behavior
and of their children.Classifying them based on two important dimensions, the level of
warmth/responsive and the level of demandingness/ control of parents, create four
types of parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and “Demandingness
refers to the extent to which parents show control, supervision and maturity in their
parenting” while “responsiveness refers to the extent to which parents show their
children affective warmth and acceptance, give them support and communicate with
them” The participants in the study were 1,239 adolescents from a large metropolitan
area in Northeast Brazil with over one million inhabitants. Slightly over half of the
students were girls (53.7%) and the average age was 13.4 yr. (SD = 1.4, range = 11-
15). Participants were selected from low and middle socioeconomic groups. Five follow-
up univariate analyses ANOVAs, indicated that Parenting Styles had statistically
significant main effects for all self-esteem dimensions except for Emotional Self-esteem.
As shown in Table 3, adolescents from Authoritative and Indulgent homes had higher
Academic and Social Self-esteem than adolescents from Authoritarian or Neglectful
families. However, adolescents from Authoritative and Indulgent families did not differ
10
from each other on Academic and Social Self-esteem [ CITATION Mar07 \l 13321 ][ CITATION
Bro04 \l 13321 ][ CITATION Ele83 \l 13321 ].
Psychological Entitlement
The Millennial generation has been termed a generation of entitlement by the
popular press, but here- before this commonly made assertion has not been tested by
empirical research. One of the more prominent studies on millennials entitlement was
conducted by the researchers at the University of Tennessee and Bucknell
Universitydifferences in a sample of 351 Millennials, Gen Xers and Baby Boomers to
see if any significant differences exist between the three generational groups. The study
found that millennials did exhibit a significantly higher entitled score on the equity
sensitivity instrument than other tested generation. The study mentions that high
individual entitlement score seems to be linked to high individual narcissism scores, but
that this relation need to be more research further [ CITATION All17 \l 13321 ].
Entitlement itself has been studied on a non-generational basis in order to
determine its effects on society base on a psychological entitlement scale which was
proven reliable and valid entitlement correlated negatively with agreeableness and
emotional stability. Furthermore, entitlement was shown to have a pervasive and
negative effect on social behavior, selfishness in a relationship, willingness to take
candy meant for children, and aggressive behavior after a threat to ones’ ego. Nine
studies were conducted with the goal of developing a self-report measure of

11
psychological entitlement and assessing its interpersonal consequences. The
participants were from different undergraduate universities ranging from 40 – 200
participants. The Psychological Entitlement Scale (PES) was found to be reliable and
valid (Study 1, 2), not associated with social desirability (Study 2), stable across time
(Study 3), and correlated negatively with two of the Big Five factors: agreeableness and
emotional stability (Study 4). The validity of the PES was confirmed in studies that
assessed willingness to take candy designated for children (Study 5) and reported
deservingness of pay in a hypothetical employment setting (Study 6). Finally, the PES
was linked to important interpersonal consequences including competitive choices in a
commons dilemma (Study 7), selfish approaches to romantic relationships (Study 8),
and aggression following ego threat (Study 9). Psychological entitlement has a
pervasive and largely unconstructive impact on social behavior [ CITATION WKe04 \l 13321 ].
It has been suggested that we are living in the “Age of Entitlement” or the “New
Gilded Era” Indeed, it seems as though individuals are increasingly subscribing to the
belief that they should get exactly what they want, when they want it — oftentimes
without regard for the well-being of others. While the antecedents of this rise in feelings
of personal deservingness are difficult to pinpoint, several factors have been proposed,
including a general increase in the standard of living, proliferation of technology and the
“instant gratification” such advancements often bring, and expansion of the welfare
safety net. Whatever the catalysts, it would appear that entitlement-related attitudes are
12
now influencing life in many of our social institutions. For instance, much has been
made of entitlement in education, government and the family and recent press reports
suggest entitlement is a significant problem in the workplace.The model and
propositions presented in the paper are testable, a feature that strengthens their value
to the literature. Laboratory and field experiments should be devised to test the
suggestion that organizational practices strengthen the relationship between employees'
trait levels of excessive entitlement and participation in counterproductive work
behaviors. Furthermore, although some suggest reward attainment promotes
complacency rather than agency — particularly when assessed within-person over
times — such an assertion seems less relevant for those who are excessively entitled,
as these individuals reliably perceive inequity and are motivated to reduce it [ CITATION
GMF10 \l 13321 ].
Foreign Literature
Parenting
Nicholas claims that Millennials present as entitled and empowered, and that this
is partly due to being included in decision-making since childhood. They also get their
sense of realism from the influence of the Baby Boomers’ pragmatism and the Gen
Xers’ skepticism. Exposure to real-time war, reality television, and relative wealth has
influenced their outlooks [ CITATION Nic08 \l 13321 ] . As the children of “over protective”
who “hover” over their children in every aspect of their lives, this generation’s
13
experiences in school and society have been guarded, with less free time than any
other generation. On the other hand, “ [ CITATION How14 \l 13321 ] says the environment in
which they have grown up has placed them under considerable pressure to achieve. He
also says they are goal-oriented and pressured, worried about their security and sleep-
deprived whilst in high school.” [ CITATION DJo04 \l 13321 ].
There are four types of parenting. The first type of parenting, which is
authoritative, is the type where parents provide high on warmth and high
demandingness. Authoritative parents maintain the child’s independence. They exercise
firm control but still encourage talk, and listen as to what the child wants or prefers.
Policies are important to them, but they are able to strike a balance on what they want
to impose on the child to have a mature and independent behavior [ CITATION San09 \l
13321 ].
The second type of parenting, the authoritarian is characterized by low on
warmth and high on demandingness. Authoritarian parents are practically similar to
dictators. In its fundamental sense, authoritarian parenting refers to the process of how
parents raise their kids in a stringent and controlled environment. For them, there is no
room for discussions, unless they permit it. They expect that the child will follow all their
orders, and usually do not take into consideration the opinion of the child [ CITATION Kop07
\l 13321 ].
14
The third type of parenting, the permissive (or indulgent), are parents who are on
warmth and low on demandingness. They make very few demands on what the children
should do. They are tolerant and accepting with regard to the desires of their child. They
allow the children to make their own decisions without consulting for their advice.
Parents with this style are distant when it comes to showing their emotions [ CITATION
Bro04 \l 13321 ].
The fourth type of parenting, the uninvolved (or neglectful) was discovered by
Eleanor Mccoby and John Martin. Uninvolved parents are those who are both low on
warmth and low on demandingness. They are very detached from their children’s lives
and are less inclined with the needs of their children. Children who have neglectful
parents tend to develop the idea that what their parents do are far more important things
that them[ CITATION Ele83 \l 13321 ].
Generation Me has always been taught that our thoughts and feelings are
important. It's no surprise that students are now being tested on it. Even when schools,
parents, and the media are not specifically targeting self-esteem, they promote the
equally powerful concepts ofsocially sanctioned self-focus, the unquestioned
importance of the individual, and an unfettered optimism about young people's future
15
prospects. The growing primacy of the individual appears in the data gathering was
81,384 high school and college students. Those young people completed
questionnaires measuring what psychologists call agency- a personality trait involving
assertiveness, dominance, independence, and self-promotion. Between the 1970s and
the 1990s, both young men's and women's agency increased markedly, with the
average 1990s college student scoring higher than 75% of college Boomers from the
1970s. It was expected women's agency to increase over this time, but men's feelings
of agency also rose, suggesting that the trend went beyond gender roles. As the
Boomers gave way to Gen Me, more and more young people were saying that they
stood up for their individual rights, had a "strong personality," and were "self-sufficient"
and "individualistic." So Gen Me not only has high self-esteem, but we take pride in
being independent actors who express our needs and wants.This type of narcissism
has been identified as on the rise in American culture. More people are focusing inward
and acting destructively toward society as they try to benefit themselves only, however,
the rise in narcissism has not been linked to only one generation, but is shared by each
generation[CITATION Jea14 \t \l 13321 ].
It was said that were the first to come of age in the new millennium. Within
American society, the Millennials have been recognized as exhibiting a significantly
greater degree of entitled attitudes than prior generations. In fact, it has been dubbed
both the Entitled Generation and Generation Me as titular illustrations of the defining
16
characteristics assigned to this generation. Research has also found evidence that
supports this recognition of the more salient characteristics of PE within the Millennials.
In a comparative analysis of 85 samples of 16,275 college students who filled out the
NPI between 1979 and 2006, students in 2006 scored 30% higher than the 1979 to1985
sample average. To put this in perspective, over the last few decades, narcissism
among college students (Millennials) has risen as much as obesity: a 30% increase
[ CITATION JMT09 \l 13321 ].
Several major generational differences that need to be recognized by
management were explored in a recent study. The study hypothesized that Baby
Boomers would be less mobile in their jobs and would be more compliant at work and
that Gen Xers would be less likely to work overtime than either Baby Boomers or
Millennials. While there was data to support the hypotheses, the researchers concluded
that generational differences played less of a role in the workplace than stereotypes
would suggest [ CITATION JBB14 \l 13321 ].
Local Studies
Parenting
Child’s frustration with how insufficient his/her needs are met, the child begins to
develop an ego structure and the experience of the self, Here, he/she internalizes what
supposedly the caregiver must have done and owns the functions instead. When a
17
need to incorporate independence and dependence, grandiosity and vulnerability is not
grasped, the result may be a rejection to accept an understanding and compromise.
This is when the infant regresses and starts building illusions of grandiosity. “The good
– enough mother” provides the necessary understanding, sympathy, mirroring, and
respect. Entitlement character derives primarily from failure to accommodate around
grandiosity and limitation.”Parenting plays a key role in avoiding or directing a child
towards narcissism and entitlement. If the caretaker or parent is able to respond
appropriately to the needs of the child, then the development of a child will be a healthy
one, on normal circumstances[CITATION Joh87 \l 13321 ].
In terms of childrearing attitudes, Philippine’s parents may be described as
authoritarian, which emphasizes strictness, respect for authority, and obedience. In
contrast, progressive attitudes pertain to childrearing of a more democratic nature,
where children are encouraged to think independently and verbalize their ideas. Studies
have revealed that Filipino parents, in general, subscribe to authoritarian attitudes. In a
nine-country study, Filipino parents rated authoritarian attitudes higher relative to other
countries, and progressive and modern childrearing attitudes lower. [CITATION Mar11 \l
13321 ]
Being a parent is universally considered a complex and valued role that most
adults would undertake and regard as one of the most significant steps in their lives.
This is certainly evident in Philippine society, where the family is “the center of
18
[Filipinos’] universe” From a scientific standpoint, an understanding of parenting is
crucial to the study of human development, given substantial research evidence that
how parents raise their children is cause and correlate of various positive and negative
outcomes, from school and work success to antisocial behavior and mental illness.
However, the current state of knowledge remains dominated by Western research, and
more culturally diverse perspectives on parenting and families are essential to arrive at
a more comprehensive knowledge of human development. [ CITATION Jos10 \l 13321 ]
Parenting in the Philippines has been shaped by the unique history, values,
experiences, adaptations, and ways of being that characterize the Filipino people and
their culture. The fundamental assumption of this chapter is that parent-child
interactions, and the complex roles, meanings, and consequences associated with
parenting, are embedded in and shaped by broader contexts such as extended kin
networks, neighborhoods, socioeconomic class, and culture [ CITATION Uri98 \l 13321 ]
Hughes reminds that the term “entitlement” used to have a good connotation,
subsequently marred when it became associated with the attitude of citizens who
expected government to provide for all their needs despite being non-productive. Such
attitudes were previously observed in people who grew up in wealth certain conceptual
19
analyses and empirical findings suggest a competing hypothesis to my own and merit
elaboration. The hypothesis that lower-class individuals may feel less, not more, entitled
could seem inherently paradoxical. Lower class individuals are—objectively and in
terms of subjective construal—more disadvantaged, and it would stand to reason that
they might feel more deserving than upper-class individuals. Research on conspicuous
consumption further underscores an alternative hypothesis. Conspicuous consumption
refers to the acquisition of luxury goods and services to signal one’s wealth or status to
others. One hundred forty-one participants selected European American as comprising
their ethnic background, 17 selected Asian American, and 63 selected African
American, Latino/a, Native American, or other ethnicity (two unreported; the sum of
these categories exceeds 195 because participants could select multiple categories).
After giving consent and completing filler items, participants completed the
Psychological Entitlement Scale, a nine-item measure of the extent to which individuals
feel they deserve more than others[ CITATION PPi14 \l 13321 ].
Nowadays, some have gone so far to say that an entire generation is growing up
to be entitled. Regardless, when individuals feel cheated, there is a natural tendency to
react in a negative manner rather than in a manner that fosters alliances. Thus family
members who feel entitled, but do not get the proportionate wealth and power they feel
they deserve, may exhibit dysfunctional behavior. Consequently, family members
should dig deeper and explore their interpretation of fairness. In the process, they will
20
discover how entitlement mentality influences their concept of fairness. This study was
conducted by the snowball technique it was used in identifying family business
participants that experienced entitlement conflicts. After each interview, the respondents
were asked to suggest families they knew who experienced visible conflict, whether
resolved or not, and who may be open to discuss their experience with a researcher.
The researcher interviewed seven business families composed of about 30 family
members that have experienced entitlement in the family. The table shows the profile of
the business families. Of the seven cases, four are still operating, two no longer exist in
its original form, and one has changed its business to leasing. The Research shows that
entitlement is a learned behavior. This means that if parents raise their children to enjoy
the family wealth without a fair exchange of input, then children will grow up believing
the world owes them[ CITATION ASa15 \l 13321 ].
Contrary to popular notions that millennials are just a carefree lot with a high
sense of self-entitlement, a study conducted by a Manila-based university found that
Filipinos in that age group tend to adhere to homegrown, conservative values yet are
raring to take flight and work overseas for a better life. Recently, Far Eastern University
conducted an online College Freshman Survey participated by 4,325 freshman aged
16-18 from nine participating schools to explore the impact of college experiences on
Filipino students. It aims to determine the impact of the college experience on the said
entitlement, learning, beliefs, priorities, opinions and values of today’s youth.” “We want
21
to know who the college student is so that we can make the college experience
transformative. First, The Filipino millennials motivated and passionate in pursuing their
goals. Mostly, they are economically driven, when it comes to career they are willing to
be uprooted from what they are used us to maximize opportunities [CITATION Uni15 \t \l
13321 ].
Despite the factors that make emerging adulthood a distinct stage of life as
compared to its earlier and later stages, experiences of emerging adults still differ
across cultures mainly because of the values that these different cultures hold.
Specifically, in the Asian culture, familial and parental obligations are given prime value,
and are instilled as important morals a child should hold during every developmental
stage of life as taught through the ways parents influence their children. Therefore, this
curtails the emerging adults to freely go through this stage of identity exploration and
self-development because they still seek guidance from their parents regarding life –
changing decisions despite the independence they are entitled to. Indeed, one’s cultural
group is seen to have great influence over the different parenting behaviors [ CITATION
Arn13 \l 13321 ].
Such as that of Filipinos, there is a tendency for young adults to be among those
who place the most importance on family obligation. This is especially observed during
the high school years, and is consistent with the cultural traditions of the families of the
young adults. Cultural traditions like that of Filipino families have one of the strongest
22
values of family obligation and one of the highest rates of providing financial assistance
to the family hence, those from Filipino backgrounds have reported the greatest amount
of time spent helping the family. In fact, Fuligni and Masten further this theory by
stressing that despite their increased independence from the family; most young adults
from such cultures continue to see parents as an important source of guidance for
issues like education and occupational careers. Given the Important that the Filipino
culture gives to familial and parental obligation, it is evident that parents have a great
influence to the development of these emerging adults [ CITATION Ful10 \l 13321 ].
Local Literature
I found the following descriptions of millennials online: lazy, pampered,
delusional, and materialistic with a sense of entitlement, trivial, and not community-
oriented or politically-inclined. The same article also hailed them as confident, self-
expressive, liberal, upbeat and receptive to new ideas and ways of living. But in general,
they are self-entitled narcissists.In their isolation from reality, millennials are easy to
manipulate. They can be robots, programmed to behave in the way virtual reality makes
them. They don’t like discussions about reality such as homework, house chores and
real-life choices. In the world they live in, homework, trash and personal messes are
23
magically rid of at the touch of a button. And their solution to the mess they see in the
country is another strong arm rule[ CITATION Sic16 \l 13321 ].
Parenting
Millennials are often overwhelmed by choices; so much so that 80 percent of
Filipino youths compared to the 73 percent global average are more likely to seek
guidance from their parents. They are still disloyal, entitled, and attention-seeking. While
some things never change — such as the need for youths to find themselves, find their
people, and their place in the world — growing up with near-unlimited access to
everything under the sun molded millennials to confront age-old problems in new
ways.The philosophy of having so many options and being attached to the hip to
technology extends to the working youth's attitudes towards company loyalty, alleged
entitlement, need for validation, and making their labor mean more[ CITATION Tak18 \l
13321 ].
SYNTHESIS OF THE STUDY
Being entitled is perhaps the top word associated in the millennials generation
and that is part of due to being included of parenting since childhood. This are observe
and proven by numerous studies and were back up by literary studies and theories that
24
are related and focusing on the relationship of psychological entitlement and parenting
in the millennials generation. It also seeks to find if there is a relationship between
psychological entitlement and parenting. The study and findings support the Social
Learning Theory’s hypothesis stating that the parents who indulge their children by
caving into their every whim and lavishing them with affection regardless of their
behavior are facilitating the their children’s sense of superiority and entitlement, critical
ingredients in narcissism. Parenting was one of the factor that contributes entitlement.
This study will help the society to understand the millennials as they accused the new
generation for being entitled. The related literature and studies will provide a better
foundation and helps build a profound analysis, clear conclusion and recommendation.

Research Methodology
25
In this chapter of the study, the methods and procedures used to explore the
involvement of the two variables: Psychological Entitlement and the Parenting styles.
This study will examinethe relationship of Millennials and Parenting.
Research Design
In this study the method used Descriptive Correlational research is a type of non-
experimental research method, in which a researcher measures two variables,
understands and assess the statistical relationship between them with no influence from
any extraneous variable. The correlation between two variables is shown through
correlation coefficient (A correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that calculates
the strength of the relationship between two variables), that is a value measured
between -1 and +1. When the correlation coefficient is close to +1 then there is a
positive correlation between the two variables and the value is close to -1, then there is
a negative correlation between the two variables and when the value is close to zero
then there is no relationship between the two variables [ CITATION Adi18 \l 13321 ].
Under this method the researcher used the survey method to determine the
common practices by the millennials.
RESPONDENTS AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
26
We focus only on (200) millennial respondents who are studying for an
undergraduate college degree under the College of Arts and Science of Pamantasan ng
Lungsod ng Muntinlupa. Graduate students that are born before 1980 are excluded.
They should be born in 1990 to 2000. The respondents must be dependent and living
with their parents, if the respondents are working students they should still residing in
their parents.
In this study, the researchers used purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is
used in selecting the research participants in which the respondents are not chosen at
random state. Purposive sampling is a non-probability sampling that is selected based
on characteristics of a population and the objective of the study. Purposive sampling
method was used in order to ensure that the respondents are really millennials that are
basically living with their parents at the age bracket given for they are the right person to
provide the information needed for this study.
Research Instrument
27
The data was gathered through the use of the following research instruments:
1. Profile checklist.The checklist elicited information about the millennials in terms
of gender, age, year and if they are currently living with their respective family.
2. Psychological Entitlement Scale (PES)The PES consists of nine items and
conceptualizes PE as a stable and pervasive sense that one deserves more and
is entitled to more resources than others. To complete the scale, participants
respond to the nine items by using a Likert-type scale (numbered one through
seven) that best reflected their own beliefs, with one indicating strong
disagreement and seven indicating strong agreement. Examples of statements
include: “I honestly feel I’m just more deserving than others,” and “Things should
go my way.” The scores are then totaled, with higher scores indicating a higher
level of PE. For the purpose of this study, the PES was used to measure PE in a
sample of Millennials. The reported internal consistency reliability for the PES
ranges from .83 to .89 with college student samples. Campbell et al. (2004)
examined the test-retest reliability of the PES. Using two independent samples of
undergraduate students, Campbell et al. tested one sample (N = 97) over one
month and the second sample (N = 458) over two months. The onemonth test-
retest correlation for the PES was r = .72, p < 0.0001. The two-month testretest
correlation was r = .70, p < 0.0001. Test results indicated that the PES is stable
over time [ CITATION Kie04 \l 13321 ]
28
3. Scale of Parenting StyleThis scale was assessed usingthe five point scale as,
“always true”, “almost true”, “sometimes true, sometimes false”, “almost false”,
and “always false”. It was developed byGracia - Garcia and Lila (2008). This is a
Parenting style index to assign the parents to four categories based on their
parenting style, namely, authoritative, authoritarian, neglectful and
indulgent/permissive.This measures parental warmth and control, as perceived
by the adolescents, with Alpha coefficients 0.9 and 0.81 respectively. The items
in the scale were preparedOn the basis of description given by Baumrind,
Maccoby and Martin for parental responsiveness and parental control. Items
measure the responsiveness and control of parents as perceived by their
adolescent wards. All the items were prepared as matching for the involvement
of both parents. When writing items, consideration is given to all areas, where the
parents interacting with their children, like social, educational and personal. For
each responsiveness item parallel control item were prepared. A parent who

DATA ANALYSIS
The central priority of this study was to investigate the relationship between
psychological entitlement of millennials perceive parenting style. Research questions
are stated in this study. All variables assessing millennials Psychological Entitltment
involving parenting were conceptualized as predictor variables (independent) this
variables are initially referred to as predictors whether they were ultimately selected. To
interpret the gathered data, the researchers will use the following:
1. Mean –It implies average and it is the sum of a set of data divided by a
number of data. It is used to compare different sets of data.
2. Standard Deviation – The standard deviation is a measure of the spread of
scores within a set of data.
3. Frequency Percentage – It is use to determine the demographic profile of the
respondents.
4. Pearson r – It is use to determine the relationship between entitlement.
The following formula is used to calculate the Pearson r correlation.

The table 4 shows the level of psychological entitlement of the respondents with
a corresponding mean and standard deviation. Based on the table, the overall extent of
psychological entitlement of the respondents with mean of 4.36 and standard deviation
of 1.54. Thus, the millennials have a moderate entitlement.
The interpretation falls on “moderate” entitlement where the average mean of
entitlement gained 4.36 (38.51) where it is ranging from 36-42 mean and have
moderate value in the levels of entitlement. Having moderate entitlement is like
millennials expecting good things, favorable living conditions and favorable treatment at
the hand of others however, their actions does not prove there are entitled enough but
they believe they deserve good and more things and life but it doesn’t mean they are
entitled to all things. The results of the study is supported by the results of [ CITATION
Ron08 \l 13321 ] on his research studies indicate that the millennial generation's great
expectations stem from feelings of superiority. Michigan State University's Collegiate
Employment Research Institute and Monster Trak, an online careers site, conducted a
35
research study of 18- to 28-year-olds and found that nearly half had moderate results in
superiority beliefs about themselves. The superiority factor was measured by responses
to such statements as "I deserve favors from others" and "I know that I have more
natural talents than most.

Authoritative 4.24 1.86 Very High
Negligent 2.98 1.23 Moderate
Permissive 3.26 1.68 Moderate
Authoritarian 3.84 1.47 High
The table 5 shows the levels of parenting styles of the respondents with a
corresponding mean and standard deviation. Based on the table, the authoritative
parenting of the respondents with mean of 4.24 and standard deviation of 1.86. Thus,
most of the millennials has very high authoritative parenting.Having very high
authoritative parenting style tend millennials to be more independent and well-behaved
because the warmth of authoritative parents gives the millennials opportunity to discuss
their feelings and tend to strengthen their attachment to their parents. There are more
relying on their parent’s suggestions and advices more than their peers.
The authoritarian parenting of the respondents with mean of 3.84 and standard
deviation of 1.47. Thus, most of the millennials has high authoritarian parenting. High
authoritarian parenting styles tend some millennials to be insecure, aggressiveand have
self-esteem problems. They are given high expectations and use punishments to
discipline children. They are given low warmth and responsiveness that can protect and
secure their children.

37
The negligent parenting of the respondents with mean of 2.98 and standard
deviation of 1.23. Thus, some of the millennials has moderate negligent parenting.
Moderate negligent parenting tend the millennials to have academically issues and
behavior problems because of lack of meeting the needs however they know how to do
technical things.
The permissive parenting of the respondents with mean of 3.26 and standard
deviation of 1.68. Thus, some of the millennials has moderated permissive
parenting.Having moderate permissive parenting tend the millennials to have low self-
esteem, poor self-control and spoiled brat although they are spoiled they know how to
obey rules and authority.
The results of the study is supported by the results of [CITATION Ant141 \l 13321 ]It
was discovered that authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles were more
commonly used by parents than the other two parenting styles. However authoritative
parenting style is slightly more common than authoritarian parenting style; while the
uninvolved parenting is reported to be the least used parenting style. This shows that
parenting style can be hierarchically arranged in terms of popularity of usage with
authoritative being on top, followed by authoritarian; while permissive style is at lowest
level of popularity.

The table 7 above presents the relationship between psychological entitlement
and parenting styles of respondents using Pearson Correlation.
The obtained correlation coefficient of mother responsiveness is (0.123), this
indicates that there is a weak positive relationship. However, the computed p-value is
0.082 which is greater than 0.05 level of significance. Therefore, there is no significant
relationship between psychological entitlement and mother responsiveness. Mother
responsiveness is the mother interaction with her family where she is aware of her
children’s physical needs and responds appropriately and consistently. It is natural in
the vast that majority of the mother is more responsible in guiding her family. The
results of the study is supported by [ CITATION Kar081 \l 13321 ] , Mothers of older
adolescents reported less responsiveness, but no significant relations emerged for
adolescent and entitlement. Similarity of mother-adolescent reports of responsiveness
was associated with higher education and living in a family structure other than a two-
parent biological. Therefore, Mother responsiveness does not contribute to the
Psychological Entitlement of the millennials.
41
Mother control obtained correlation coefficient of (0.175*) this indicates that there
is a weak positive relationship. However, the computed p-value is 0.013 which is less
than the level of significance of 0.05. Therefore, there is significant relationship between
psychological entitlement and mother control. Mother control is way of the mother
protecting and limit her child from harm and leading to the most appropriate way.
According to [ CITATION Chr12 \l 13321 ] was that open communication between a child and
their parent intensified mother control was related to higher levels of becoming
dependent and entitled of the millennials.
Father responsiveness obtained correlation coefficient is (0.175*) that indicates
that there is a weak positive relationship. However, the computed p-value is 0.013
which is less than the level of significance of 0.05. Therefore, there is significant
relationship between psychological entitlement and father responsiveness. Father
responsiveness involving how to protect and utilizing his child’s strengths. It also
involves how the father guiding and being a role model to his child. In theory of [CITATION
Hor06 \l 13321 ], the extreme levels of father responsiveness, tangible assistance, and
intervention that are part of parenting could teach offspring that they are exceptionally
important and worthy of intensive care and attention from others. It is therefore
hypothesized that father parenting will be associated with greater entitlement in the
millennials.
42
Father control obtained correlation coefficient is (0.227*) that indicates that there
is a weak positive relationship. However, the computed p-value is 0.001 which is less
than the level of significance of 0.05. Therefore, there is significant relationship between
psychological entitlement and father control. Father control involving strict guidance
when it comes to controlling his child. Father controlling is like reserving his child in
letting them decide and live with their own lives. According to [ CITATION Mic12 \l 13321 ],
one potential explanation for this pattern lies in father control where by it is excessively
involved in provision of goods and services to the child to the point of intrusiveness.
Continually and excessively impose their will on their children, so long as it entails doing
things and providing things for the child, could easily raise children with a strong sense
of entitlement.
Parent responsiveness obtained correlation coefficient is (0.178*) that indicates
that there is a weak positive relationship. However, the computed p-value is 0.012
which is less than the level of significance of 0.05. Therefore, there is significant
relationship between psychological entitlement and parent responsiveness. Parent
responsiveness is the ability of both parents to know the needs of their child. Involving
helping them to grow and to fulfill the demand to rearing their children up properly.
According to [ CITATION Bro05 \l 13321 ]. Parental responsiveness, which creates the
emotional climate that the child experiences. Responsiveness is demonstrated through
listening to the child, accepting the child, and attending to the relationship between the
43
child and the parent. Responsiveness is related to encouraging autonomy and adapting
to a child’s changing needs. By facilitating a child’s emerging independence while also
maintaining safety and security, parents respond to their child’s developmental needs
and promote psychological entitlement.
Parents control obtained correlation coefficient is (0.235***) that indicates that
there is a weak positive relationship. However, the computed p-value is 0.001 which is
less than the level of significance of 0.05. Therefore, there is significant relationship
between psychological entitlement and parent control. Parental control is the ability of
both parents to control and limit their child on certain behavior. Controlling that they are
not able to have their privacy without their consent and not allowing them to have their
full dependence. According to [ CITATION Mic121 \l 13321 ]. In Parental control and child
psychological entitlement. It was predicted that overly controlling parental behavior
would be associated with a greater sense of entitlement in children.
A parent who rated as high in both responsiveness and control (above the
median), he is categorized as authoritative parent. A parent who rated as low in both
responsiveness and control (below the median), he is categorized as negligent parent.
A parent who rated as high in responsiveness and low in control, he is categorized as
indulgent parent. A parent who rated as low in responsiveness and high in control, he is
categorized as authoritarian parent.

CHAPTER V
This chapter presented the summary of findings, conclusions and
recommendations according to the data gathered from the 200 Millennial of College of
Arts and Science.

45
This study aimed to determine the relationship between the Psychological
entitlementand Parenting styles among the millennial students of College of Arts and
Sciences.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
After analyzing the data, the researchers acquired the following findings:
1. The frequency and percentage distribution of the respondents in terms of age,
majority of the respondents were 18-21 years oldwhile the rest were 22-29 years
old. In terms of Gender, majority of the respondents were female than male. In
terms of Year level, majority of the respondents was first year while the rest were
second year, third year and fourth year.

“Moderate” in the scoring of Psychological Entitlement Scale.
3. The level of parenting styles by the millennials in terms of Authoritative and
Authoritarian parenting was gained “High” than the Permissive and Negligence
which gained “Moderate” results in the scoring of Style of Parenting Scale.
4. The correlation between the relationship of Psychological entitlement and
Parenting, The correlation coefficient has moderate relationship, the computed p-
value is less than the level of significance, therefore, and there is significant
relationship.
46
CONCLUSION
Based on the data analyzed and finding of the study, these are the following conclusion:
1. The results show that millennials in the modern world psychological entitlement
was classified as “Moderate Entitlement”
2. The results show that millennials in the modern world parenting was “High
Authoritative and High Authoritarian” parenting and “Moderate Permissive and
Negligent” parenting.
47
3. Psychological entitlement has significant relationship to parenting in terms of
scoring of the two scales.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Since this study had only focused on selected millennials students of
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa under the department of College and Arts and
Sciences, it is recommended that further studies been carried out on students to have
gain more better understanding and to see whether there are any similarities in the
findings and to provide more evidence that parenting play important role on being
entitled of the millennials.
48
Given that in our generation millennials known as more demanding with a higher
sense of entitlement compared to the previous generations it would be helpful for
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa to conduct seminars and activities that will
benefit the millennials and the other people to have a better understanding about our
today’s generation.
This also suggests that millennials and also parents to attend seminars and
activities to supports the growing body of literature on parent education and feelings of
entitlement with consistent findings that high parent education is more likely to
contribute to feelings of entitlement of millennials or college students. Understanding
which parenting styles correlates with a healthy sense of entitlement will enable
educators to develop curriculum and plan early interventions for parents to help them
understand how their interactions are associated with healthy entitlement in their
children.
For the future researchers that are interested in finding the relationship between
psychological entitlement and parenting we suggests to try considering other factors
that might related for having psychological entitlement. They can also include large
quantity of participants to get more evidences and data.
