Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship among academic entitlement, life satisfaction, and academic performance as measured by cumulative grade point average. When comparing academically at-risk versus non-at-risk college students, academically at-risk students scored significantly lower on satisfaction with life than their non-at-risk peers. In addition, a significant negative correlation was found between academic entitlement and satisfaction with life for all students. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
