dc.description.abstract	This study aims to explore the relationship between study participants’ personality traits and the factors of Narcissism and Academic Entitlement. This study examined participants on five personality traits (i.e., Openness, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Extraversion) as measured by the Big Five Inventory (BFI), which is based on the Five Factor Model of personality. BFI Dimension scores and Overt and Covert Narcissism scores were used to evaluate the potential predictive relationship those scales had on Academic Entitlement. Scores on the BFI were compared to participants’ self-reported ratings of Academic Entitlement, Covert Narcissism, and Overt Narcissism. Overt Narcissism scores were also examined to determine the predictive value of the BFI dimensions on Narcissism levels. Participants were 208 students at a southeastern university in the United States. Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Agreeableness and Covert Narcissism were predictors of Academic Entitlement. Males reported significantly higher levels of Academic Entitlement. Big Five Personality dimensions were significantly correlated with Overt Narcissism scores. Results and implications for future research are presented.	en_US
