Partici pants read a brief scenario describing the work of a fictitious research team in all three studies. Study 1 manipulated whether the entitlement was verified by a third party; Study 2 manipulated whether consensus regarding the direction the research team had taken would affect the entitlement's efficacy, and Study 3 manipu lated whether a self-entitlement and an other-entitlement would be differentially effective.
