The need for qualitative research of deservingness perception is strongly emphasised in the literature. This article studies the perception of deservingness for a "Family 500 +"—cash benefit in Poland. For the first time, data from online forums was used in the studies of deservingness and welfare attitudes. It allowed to avoid numerous limitations associated with social surveys. The qualitative analysis showed how participants of Internet debates perceive the criteria of deservingness: control, attitude, reciprocity, identity, need, and what are the relations between the criteria. The impurity of all deservingness criteria was indicated and a new criterion “adequacy” was proposed. Moreover due to the fact that the study concerned a concrete, non-abstract family cash benefit addressed the relationship between the perceived deservingness of children and their parents was pointed out. The vast majority of posts on Internet forums referred to deservingness of parents, not children. This is particularly evident in relation to the criteria of control and reciprocity. Presenting the hypothesis of jealousy and scapegoat strategy, the article also shows the direction of future research on deservingness.

文献中强烈强调需要对定性感知进行定性研究。本文研究了波兰“ 500+家庭”的现金福利应得的看法。首次将在线论坛中的数据用于研究应得性和福利态度。它可以避免与社会调查相关的众多限制。定性分析表明，互联网辩论的参与者如何看待应得的标准：控制，态度，对等，身份，需求以及这些标准之间的关系。指出了所有应得标准的杂质，并提出了新的标准“充分性”。此外，由于该研究涉及具体的事实，指出了非抽象的家庭现金利益，解决了儿童与父母之间的应得的感性之间的关系。互联网论坛上的绝大多数帖子都提到了父母的应得之物，而不是孩子的应得之物。就控制和互惠的标准而言，这尤其明显。在提出嫉妒和替罪羊策略的假设的同时，文章还指出了未来应得性研究的方向。
