The current study explores the intersection of two trends of interest in higher education: reported increases in academic entitlement (AE) and increases in the proportion of students considered nontraditional. AE has shown to have negative effects in the classroom and for students. Based on reports from educators, levels of AE may be lower for nontraditional students. The current study sought to understand the level of AE in nontraditional students, compare AE levels with traditional students, and investigate if specific nontraditional factors have larger impacts on AE. Four hundred and twenty-nine participants were assessed for nontraditional factors and their current level of AE. Nontraditional students were found to have lower levels of AE than traditional students, having more nontraditional factors predicted lower AE, and AE was found to vary within nontraditional grouping levels. Additionally, age and hours worked were found to be individual factors that best predicted AE levels.

评估非传统因素与学术权利之间的关系

当前的研究探索了高等教育的两个兴趣趋势的交集：据报告，学术权利的增加（AE）和被认为非传统的学生比例的增加。AE已证明对教室和学生都有负面影响。根据教育工作者的报告，非传统学生的AE水平可能较低。当前的研究试图了解非传统学生的AE水平，将AE水平与传统学生进行比较，并调查特定的非传统因素是否对AE产生更大的影响。对429名参与者的非传统因素及其当前的AE水平进行了评估。发现非传统学生的AE水平比传统学生低，因为有更多非传统因素预测较低的AE，发现AE在非传统分组水平内有所不同。此外，发现年龄和工作时间是最能预测AE水平的个体因素。
