A Model of Egoistical Relative Deprivation

Crosby, Faye

Psychological Review, 83, 2, 85-113, Mar 76

Examines the theory of relative deprivation. This theory states, basically, that objective and subjective well-being are not isomorphically related, so that sometimes the better-off one is, the worse-off one feels subjectively. After a brief review of work in the area of relative deprivation, a formal model is developed. (Editor/RK)
